The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport Puts 4x4 Capability in Every Trim

Four trims shape the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport lineup, and each one changes the vehicle in ways worth understanding. Sexton Ford helps you tell them apart without wading through a spec sheet on your own. Work through what the lineup covers before you narrow your choice in Moline, IL.

Power and Performance

Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks run a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine that produces 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. Badlands moves up to a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission and standard 4x4 come on every trim, and you get five G.O.A.T. Modes® on 1.5-liter trims or seven on Badlands, which adds Rock Crawl and Rally.

Technology Features

A 13.2-inch center touchscreen anchors the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport cabin, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility built in. Ford connected services are available through the Ford Connectivity Package. Depending on the trim you choose, you can add heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, premium-trimmed seating, wireless charging, available B&O® audio, and the off-road-oriented interior materials that come with Badlands.

Safety Features and Driver Assistance

Available driver-assistance features on this new Ford SUV include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert, alongside a rearview camera and Adaptive Cruise Control. Together they shorten your reaction time in the moments that matter most, whether a car ahead stops short in stalled traffic or one slips into the lane beside you while your attention is on the road ahead.

Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+ is available depending on the trim and package you select. AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control, anti-lock disc brakes, and electric power-assisted steering handle the control side of the equation, helping you hold your line through a wet curve or a sudden swerve instead of fighting the vehicle for it.

Towing and Cargo

Order the Class II Trailer Tow Package, and Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks tow up to 2,200 lbs, while Badlands handles up to 2,700 lbs. Cargo room reaches 32.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 65.2 cubic feet behind the first row on 1.5-liter models. Those figures drop on 2.0-liter and Sasquatch-equipped versions of the Ford Bronco Sport, so weigh capability against carrying capacity.
