What Is the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport?

If you haven’t already heard the news, Ford is set to unleash its most captivating SUV to date. Ford SUVs have always been a force to be reckoned with, but the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is in a league of its own. With top quality engineering based on rugged outdoor know-how, the latest Ford Bronco Sport is built for adventure.

You may already be familiar with the Ford Bronco, which is entering its newly revived sixth generation. The Ford Bronco Sport is brand new on the market with 2021 representing its first generation. There’s plenty of room to customize this athletic SUV with all of the latest off-roading technology you could want.

It’s hard to believe that the base model of the 2021 Bronco Sport starts at an MSRP of just $26,660, but Ford isn’t holding back in its mission for total domination of the SUV market. It’s been about 20 years since new Ford Broncos last graced dealerships, and no details were left to chance when redesigning this sporty new variant. Forget about weak imitation models; the 2021 Bronco Sport is ready to put the rubber to the road and lead the pack towards a new generation of SUV greatness.

5 Thrilling New Models to Choose From

The first three trim levels, the Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks, are equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 181 hp and 190 lb-ft of torque. This EcoBoost engine uses automatic start-stop technology to maximize fuel efficiency. It’s paired with an automatic eight-speed transmission and 4×4 drivetrain. Upgrading to the higher-end Badlands or First Edition models brings a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that boosts horsepower to 245, and torque to 275 lb-ft, along with enhancing off-roading capabilities.

From the start, drivers benefit from the Ford Co-Pilot 360’s generous array of standard safety technology. Impressive features to be found on the base model include lane-keeping assist, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, a rearview camera, and the SOS post-crash alert system. The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Base is also equipped with AdvanceTrac with roll stability control and electronic traction control so that you can rive it anywhere with confidence.

Some added perks and available options for the Big Bend include Sirius XM radio, voice-activated touchscreen navigation, evasive steering assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go lane centering. The Outer Banks model also brings rain-sensing wipers to the table. Across the board, you can expect a remote keyless entry system and key with an integrated key fob, a Safety Canopy airbag system with a rollover sensor, a tire pressure monitoring system, and even a bottle opener located in the hatch. Not only has Ford thought of everything to make the 2021 Bronco Sport safe, but it’s also your most playful and helpful companion on the road.

Capability That Can’t Be Beat

Along with fun technology, the 2021 Ford Bronco excels in capability. On the Badlands trim, an advanced 4×4 system with a twin-clutch rear differential helps you grip the ground for the ultimate off-roading excitement. Using a terrain management system, you can choose from seven different GOAT Modes (goes over any type of terrain). These include sand, slippery, sport, eco, normal, mud/ruts, and rock crawl. There isn’t much you can’t conquer in a 2021 Ford Bronco.

Not only does the Badlands trim perform, but it also looks the part. A safari-style roof, front tow hooks, black roof rack side rails, roof rack cross bars, and flip-up rear glass are ready to party. Add the Class II Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control, and your Badlands will tow up to 2,200 pounds with confidence.

Open the Door to a Delightful Interior

A common criticism of highly capable vehicles, like hardy pick-ups and all-terrain SUVs, is a lack of interior style, finesse, and comfort. That’s not the case with the 2021 Bronco Sport. Several convenience features mean you won’t have any downsides to going off the grid in your Bronco.

Connectivity is available when you need it, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, 911 Assist, and AppLink. The base model is equipped with four smart-charging USB ports, so your devices will stay charged. Its eight-inch touchscreen has swipe capability and uses SYNC 3 voice-activated technology. You’ll never have to worry about fiddling around with controls when you’re driving.

For a luxurious spin on your Bronco Sport, the First Edition trim is top-notch. Standard seating is leather-trimmed with mini perforation and heated front seats. There’s an eight-way power driver’s seat and a six-way manual passenger seat. Rubberized flooring in the seating area and cargo space protects your Bronco from the elements. If you’ve got bulky cargo to transport, the second row has 60/40 split fold-flat seating (although this is true for all trims of the 2021 Bronco Sport.)

Say goodbye to stress as the office fades away behind you in the auto-dimming rearview mirror. The First Edition Bronco Sport also has a premium sound system by Bang & Olufsen with 10-Speakers and a subwoofer so that you can play your favorite songs and cruise under the power moonroof. The First Edition’s heated steering wheel is wrapped in leather and includes cruise and audio controls for ultimate comfort. Use the remote starter system to warm up your steering wheel and seat before you step in to drive off to your next destination. A 6.5-inch color LCD instrument panel and wireless charging pad will keep you informed and up-to-date wherever you go.
