The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is the baby brother of the all-new, off-road-ready Bronco SUV, and a viable alternative to Jeep's smaller models. With a boxy design that's both cool and cute plus numerous innovative features, it is poised to be popular. Every model comes with all-wheel drive, a host of driver assists, and a spacious cabin. For once, the Sport moniker is put to good use, because the little Bronco has enough interior space to carry two mountain bikes, as well as a configurable cargo area that transforms into a mobile basecamp. Most models will be a perfect companion for those buyers with "active lifestyles." But the Bronco Sport also has capabilities that make it worthy of sharing one of the Blue Oval's most storied SUV nameplates.
The Bronco Sport is an all-new model that's intended to serve as a smaller alternative to the larger Bronco. While there are still some specifics that the company has yet to announce, the recent reveal event showed us what looks to be a compelling alternative to the smallest Jeep models. Ford says the Bronco Sport will hit dealerships late this year.
The more compact 2021 Ford Bronco Sport starts at $28,155, or just over $2,000 more than a base Escape. That entry-level model includes AWD, 17-inch wheels, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and blind-spot monitoring. Ford offers plenty of ways to customize and spec your perfect Bronco Sport, but the forewarned--the price spread from base model to loaded is huge.
Although the Badlands is one of the most expensive models, it'll also be the most capable off-road. Along with a 245-hp turbo-four engine—the more potent of the two available powerplants— and an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, the Badlands has a lifted suspension and upgraded dampers for tackling rugged terrain. Ford says it's only going to build 2000 copies of the First Edition, which will be the most expensive Bronco Sport, but it gets all the goodies from the Bronco Sport Badlands as well as the more luxurious interior and black exterior accents from the Outer Banks model.
Every Bronco Sport features an 8.0-inch touchscreen that supports Ford's Sync 3 software. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but it can be upgraded with SiriusXM satellite radio and a B&O audio system. In addition to touch-sensitive controls and voice commands, the infotainment interface can be operated with hard buttons as well as a volume and tuning knob.
The 2021 Bronco Sport hasn't been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Ford also comes with a host of driver-assistance technology that includes standard automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Key safety features include:
Ford provides a competitive limited and powertrain warranty that aligns with most of its rivals. However, it lacks the complimentary maintenance that some competitors provide.
