There's good news and bad news for the '27 Bronco Sport. The good news is Ford lowered prices on most of the compact SUV's trims. The bad news is the automaker made adjustments to standard equipment. But there's more good news to counteract that. You can now get those features as available options. Let's look at everything you need to know.
Key Takeaways
- Most Bronco Sport trim levels get price cuts, though some standard features have been removed.
- The standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine gets up to 30 mpg on the highway.
- Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ is standard, with additional driver-assistance tech available on higher trims.
Which Features Has Ford Removed for 2027?
Ford adjusts equipment throughout the Bronco Sport lineup while reducing prices on most trims. According to AutoBlog, auto stop-start has been eliminated across the range.
The Big Bend no longer includes heated exterior mirrors or a folding rear center armrest with cupholders. Heated mirrors have also been removed from the Heritage's standard equipment. Higher trims undergo changes of their own. The Outer Banks trades its six-way power passenger seat for a six-way manual version and drops the standard auto-dimming rearview mirror. On the Badlands, Ford replaces the eight-way power driver's seat with a six-way manual seat while eliminating standard dual-zone climate control and the auto-dimming mirror.
But all is not lost—many of these amenities are still offered through optional packages or on other trims.
How Much Horsepower Does the Bronco Sport Produce?
The standard 1.5-liter three-cylinder delivers 180 horses and 200 lb-ft. The available 2.0-liter four-cylinder increases output to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. Both engines mate to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. Models equipped with the larger engine also feature paddle shifters.
Does the Sasquatch Package Affect Gas Mileage?
Yes. The standard 1.5-liter engine gets 25 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, with an estimated driving range of 432 miles, according to MotorTrend. Adding the Sasquatch package's all-terrain tires reduces fuel economy to 23 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Estimated range also decreases to 384 miles.
With the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, the Bronco Sport gets 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, with approximately 368 miles of driving range.
What Driver-Assistance Equipment Is Standard?
Every Bronco Sport includes Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, which combines automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, intersection assist, and rear cross-traffic braking.
The Badlands has a more advanced driver-assistance package, Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, which includes Ford Trail View and a 360-degree camera to help drivers see obstacles around the vehicle. Higher trims are available with front parking sensors. For drivers heading off pavement, the Badlands also includes a Terrain Management System with Ford G.O.A.T. Modes.
What Are the Bronco Sport's Interior Technology Options?
A 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Most trims have an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, while the top trim upgrades to a 12.3-inch display.
Front passengers can access USB-A and USB-C ports. An optional 400-watt outlet provides another power source for second-row passengers. A six-speaker audio system is standard. Higher trims offer a 10-speaker B&O system, along with available amenities such as a power moonroof and auto-dimming rearview mirror.
