The 2025 Bronco Sport is available in five distinct trims: Big Bend, Free Wheeling, Heritage, Outer Banks, and Badlands. Most come with a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which makes 181 hp and 190 lb.-ft. of torque. However, the Badlands ups the ante with a robust 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that whisks out 250 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drivetrain (4WD), but the Badlands stands out with its advanced twin-clutch 4×4 system, which senses when it needs to send torque to a single rear wheel to conquer challenging terrain.
The Big Bend is a well-equipped base trim featuring amenities like automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, manually adjustable front seats, easy-clean cloth upholstery, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Free Wheeling is distinguished by eye-catching retro-inspired graphics, ombre-stitched “Sunset Weave” cloth seats, and red-accented wheels. The Heritage is a throwback to the 1960s with its plaid cloth upholstery, white-painted roof and white wheels, trim-specific side decals, and red interior contrast stitching.
The Outer Banks is a more comfort-focused choice, adding remote start, a heated wrapped steering wheel, heated power-adjustable front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a universal garage door opener, and LED fog lights. The Badlands is the ultimate off-road machine thanks to its chunky all-terrain tires, comprehensive underbody protection (including a steel lower bash plate, skid plate, and fuel tank shield), and perforated leather upholstery.
Many of these premium features can also be ordered in the lower trims via optional packages. The list of a la carte options includes a power moonroof, roof-rail crossbars, mudflaps, and a keyless entry keypad.
The ‘25 Bronco Sport comes with Ford’s Co-Pilot360 Assist+ safety suite, consisting of adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane centering, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist, lane-keeping assist, lane-keeping alert, driver attention alert, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, forward collision warning with dynamic brake support, rear cross-traffic braking, and rear parking sensors. The Badlands gets the enhanced version, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, which is available for select lower trims. Among its upgrades are a 360-degree camera with trail and split views, front parking sensors, reverse braking assist, and power-folding side mirrors with position memory.
As mentioned, every ’25 Bronco Sport trim comes with the sophisticated SYNC 4 infotainment system, comprising a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, conversational voice recognition, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming. While the default is a six-speaker audio system, the Outer Banks and Badlands are eligible to upgrade to a Bang & Olufsen unit with ten speakers. What’s more, those same trims can be ordered with onboard navigation and HD Radio.
Two performance packages of note are available for this year’s Bronco Sport: Black Diamond Off-Road and Sasquatch. The Black Diamond Off-Road Package (for the Big Bend) includes steel-plated front and rear bumpers, fender tie-downs, a Class II Trailer Tow Package with trailer sway control and a full-sized spare tire, four recovery hooks (two on each bumper), a steel skid plate and fuel tank, all-terrain tires, a 110V power outlet, auxiliary switches and wiring, a cargo management system, a passenger grab handle, and a rubberized seatback mat. The Sasquatch Package, which is new for 2025, is offered for the Outer Banks and Badlands. It comes with many of the same features from the Black Diamond Off-Road Package, plus a HOSS 3.0 suspension, Bilstein dampers, a steel-plated rear bumper, high-clearance fender flares, and yellow interior accents.
