The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport offers buyers a handsome, rugged, well-equipped compact SUV with actual off-road abilities.
Based on a unibody chassis and designed to challenge the likes of the Jeep Compass Trailhawk, Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road, and Subaru Crosstrek, the Bronco Sport comes standard with 4-wheel drive (4WD) and a range of trims, including two new Heritage models reminiscent of the original 1960s-era Ford Bronco.
Power for the Bronco Sport comes from a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic. A 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder is available only on the top-line Badlands and Heritage Limited trims.
