The Bronco 60th anniversary edition takes center stage this year.

What Engine Does the 2026 Ford Bronco Come With?
The Bronco's base setup is still the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. On regular gas, it produces 275 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. Premium fuel bumps output to 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. That’s enough to give it a strong performance for everyday driving while keeping fuel economy in check.
Fuel efficiency numbers should stay about the same, at 16–20 mpg city and 17–21 mpg highway. A 10-speed automatic is standard, but Ford continues to offer a seven-speed manual with this engine, a rare option in SUVs today. Four-wheel drive remains standard across the lineup, keeping the Bronco’s off-road credentials a priority.
For buyers who want more power, the optional 2.7-liter V6 pairs with the same 10-speed automatic, though fuel economy doesn’t improve much. EPA ratings should be about 17–18 mpg city and 17–20 mpg highway.
What Technology Features Are Seen in the 2026 Ford Bronco?
Inside, a large 12-inch touchscreen anchors to the dash and runs Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment system. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and over-the-air software updates keep the system current. Many trims also offer built-in navigation, which comes in very handy when you’re out on the trail or away from cell service.
The standard seven-speaker audio system is great for basic use, but most buyers will find upgraded sound systems available on higher trims. With options to improve sound quality, the Bronco makes long drives and off-road adventures more enjoyable.
