Are you a regular driver who desires all the greatest attributes of the vintage Ford Bronco, from off-road toughness to roomy seats? If so, the Ford Bronco Sport is a fantastic option for you. The Bronco Sport will elevate your rides with potent performance, rugged capabilities, and advanced technology inside and out.
Below, Planet Ford Dallas will detail everything you need to know about the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport's appearance, interior, performance, capacity, and safety features. People also tend to ask if the Ford Bronco Sport has a removable roof like the standard Bronco. Read on to get this answer and more helpful information.
The Bronco Sport is a more compact version of the full-size Ford Bronco, with a couple of differences. One is its permanent roof versus the Bronco's retractable and removable one. Also, while the Ford Bronco Sport's top isn't removable, you'll have the option for a power moonroof. This roof opens to allow for excellent views of the outside world with easy closing in uncooperative weather. Like the top, the doors aren't detachable either.
The Bronco Sport SUV offers six variants to suit your preferences for the great outdoors. These include the base model, Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Limited. Each trim has a unique visual appeal, becoming more well equipped as premiums rise. They're all designed for a specific purpose, such as the Badlands trim and its suitability for rock climbing. An optional Black Diamond off-road package is one of the notable new features for 2023. This package offers a grille with "Bronco" written across it, in capital letters, just like on the Bronco.
The Bronco Sport echoes the big, squared-off lines of the vintage Bronco. The retro-meets-modern design choices add an eclectic and charming impression, calling all adventurers, travelers, and youthful-at-heart. The glass on the rear door opens independently, allowing you to access the luggage compartment without raising the hatch. As for exterior dimensions, this Ford is 172.7 inches long and either 70.2 or 71.4 inches tall, depending on the engine. It's also 82.2 inches wide with the mirrors extended.
A 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine with 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque is standard on the 2023 Bronco Sport. Higher trims have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Both come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, but the more potent engine adds enhanced cooling components and paddle shifters on the steering wheel. You can turn with grace on pavement or dirt thanks to its quick steering, and it's also capable of towing 2,000 or 2,200 pounds, depending on the engine.
With the Bronco Sport, any rugged terrain or camping trip will be smooth. All-wheel drive continues to be available, and the Go Over Any Terrain (GOAT) system will unlock new paths that weren't accessible to your vehicle before. You'll find enhanced all-terrain tires on higher trims and up to five GOAT drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand.
The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport's fuel tank is 16 gallons. The EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings for the 1.5-liter EcoBoost are 25 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the interstate, and 26 mpg overall with four-wheel drive. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost achieves fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg overall.
The Bronco Sport has an appealing interior design with plenty of room for cargo and passengers. There are also a ton of convenient standard amenities, including a slide-out table serving as a desk and a 400-watt power converter. There are also LED lights integrated into the interior of the rear gate that offer overhead illumination. The back even includes a bottle opener by the liftgate. The Badlands trim has easy-to-clean upholstery and washable, rubberized flooring for those who often go off-roading.
The cargo area has 29.4 cubic feet of space on Bronco Sport models with the four-cylinder engine. For three-cylinder models, you get a nice boost of 32.5 cubic feet. In either case, the 105.7 cubic-foot passenger volume leads to excellent headroom measurements of 41.5 and 41.7 inches in the front and second rows, respectively. With the moonroof, you'll get 39.1 and 41.7 inches. Other dimensions include 42.4 and 36.9 inches of front and rear legroom, 55.2 and 53.4 inches of front and rear hip room, and 57.3 and 55.6 inches of front and rear shoulder room.
As with any modern Ford, the Bronco Sport includes Ford's acclaimed SYNC 3 infotainment system, with its user-friendly menus and rapid reactions. For many functions, there are also physical buttons and knobs that are well labeled and conveniently placed. Standard infotainment amenities include an 8-inch touch screen, a six-speaker radio, voice recognition, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and several USB connections. Available upgrades include a GPS, wireless device charging, Bang & Olufsen audio with 10 speakers, and satellite and high-definition radio.
Forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high-beam headlights, a rearview camera, and MyKey are all included as standard safety features for the Bronco Sport. MyKey allows Ford drivers to set limited parameters. For instance, do you have secondary drivers, such as teenagers practicing to get their licenses? If so, you can preset a maximum speed and audio volume for extra peace of mind.
Some of the available driver-aid technologies include stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, traffic sign recognition, evasive steering assistance, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and rear parking sensors. Also, the Bronco Sport's boxy design offers exceptional visibility to the front, back, and sides, something you can't expect from many similarly sized SUVs.
While you can't remove the Bronco Sport's roof, it offers many of the benefits and experiences of the larger Bronco. Are you curious to learn more about the Ford Bronco Sport?
