The versatile 2025 Ford Bronco Sport powers through your daily commute just as well as it conquers the trail during your weekend adventures. Read our guide below to learn more about its four adventurous trims. Big Bend The Big Bend trim starts Ford's lineup off strong. It comes with all-wheel drive, a peppy 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a five-mode terrain management system for optimized performance. Eco, normal, slippery, sport, and off-road modes adjust handling for an ideal experience in a wide variety of driving conditions. Exterior highlights include a carbonized gray grille with white Bronco lettering that matches the 17-inch carbonized gray painted aluminum wheels, signature LED round headlights, and sideview mirrors with heated glass. The Bronco Sport's compact frame measures 70.4 inches high, 82.2 inches wide, and 173.1 inches long. The safari-style roof opens up the rear of the cabin, providing you with additional headroom for taller passengers or space for cargo. Details like the bottle opener in the hatch make this space ideal for your weekend adventures. Heritage Ford changed up the compact SUV's styling with the classy Heritage trim. An Oxford white painted roof and grille with bright red Bronco lettering help the Heritage really stand out from the crowd. Inside, you'll find robin's egg blue stitching on the heathered navy pier cloth seating with plaid inserts. The center console's race red stitching contrasts beautifully with the refined navy pier micro suede material. Outer Banks If you're looking to bring more modern conveniences along on your off-roading adventures, you'll want to check out the Outer Banks trim. Heated front bucket seats and a heated steering wheel provide comfort against the New York winters. You'll also enjoy an eight-way power-operated seat adjuster with memory settings. This variant comes with premium-trimmed seating in either a mix of ebony and roast or platinum blue. Badlands The top-tier Badlands trim toughens up with steel bash plates under the engine, two front D-ring recovery hooks, and all-terrain tires. The class-exclusive Bilstein shocks smooth out the ride over rugged terrain. You'll have no trouble plowing ahead with the upgraded 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine and advanced all-wheel drive. The terrain management system adds rock crawl and rally modes for even more off-roading capability. You'll have a 360-degree camera with split-view and trail views for enhanced visibility on the road. Ford Trail Control is another piece of trail-focused tech that adds to your adventures in the Badlands. You can think of this feature as a cruise control that works at low speeds when you're driving on trails. The feature gives you more opportunity to focus on steering while maneuvering through tight trail conditions. With modern conveniences and rugged capabilities, the Bronco Sport is a compact SUV designed to impress. Get in touch with Steet Ponte Ford in Yorkville, NY to test drive your ideal trim.
