The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport arrives with meaningful updates that enhance its styling, technology, and off-road capability. For 2026, the compact SUV features refreshed front and rear fascias, a redesigned grille, and new appearance options such as the Bronze Package, which adds distinctive bronze wheels and exterior accents.
Inside, every Bronco Sport now comes standard with a larger 13.2-inch touchscreen running SYNC 4, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, delivering a more modern and connected driving experience. The Free Wheeling trim has been discontinued, streamlining the lineup while focusing on refinement and versatility.
Capability is also improved for 2026 with standard All-Wheel Drive across all trims, now using an upgraded twin-clutch rear drive unit for better traction and control in low-grip conditions, along with enhanced off-road features like Trail Control.
The Bronco Sport lineup continues with Big Bend, Outer Banks, Heritage, and Badlands trims, powered by familiar EcoBoost engines: a 180-horsepower 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder on lower trims and a 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost exclusive to the Badlands, both paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Order banks are expected to open around October 2025.
