What's New for the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport?
For the 2026 model year, the Bronco Sport debuts an available Bronze Package. This option elevates the SUV's visual presence with 17-inch Sinister Bronze wheels and distinctive bronze exterior accents. The interior also receives several coordinating bronze highlights. Ford offers this stylish package on both the entry-level Big Bend and the top-tier Badlands trims.
What Are the 2026 Bronco Sport Trims & Features?
There are four available trim levels: Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks, and Badlands.
Equipped with a standard 4X4 system and five G.O.A.T. Modes™, the Big Bend trim is ready for any outdoor excursion. Key standard equipment includes a 13.2-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster, and a six-speaker audio system.
The Heritage trim features a retro-inspired aesthetic, highlighted by a white roof and vintage plaid cloth bucket seats. This model also comes standard with all-terrain tires. Most of its interior features align with the Big Bend trim level.
For those seeking a more sophisticated cabin, the Outer Banks trim offers premium upgrades. Leather upholstery provides an upscale atmosphere, while heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control maximize passenger comfort.
The Badlands trim represents the peak of off-road performance for the lineup. It utilizes an advanced 4X4 system with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit, an off-road suspension, and protective steel bash plates. Drivers can further enhance their capability with the optional Sasquatch Badlands Package.
