2021 Ford Bronco Sport: With styling cues and some of off-road ruggedness of its bigger brother the Bronco, Bronco Sport debuts for 2021. Based on the Ford Escape, the Bronco Sport is a compact crossover that seats 5 and is only available as a 4-door wagon. Unique to the segment is a tailgate with separate opening rear window. Bronco Sport competes with vehicles like the Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Nissan Rogue Sport and Toyota RAV4.
Bronco Sport is offered in Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands and First Edition trim. Four-wheel drive is standard on all models, though unlike its big brother, Bronco Sport’s 4WD system does not have a low range. Engine offerings include a turbocharged 1.5-liter 3-cylinder that makes 181 horsepower and a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower. Both engines mate to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Every Bronco Sport also comes standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features. Co-Pilot360 includes forward-collision warning with brake intervention, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. Additional standard features LED headlights, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Android Auto and Apple Car Play and roof rails. The all-wheel-drive system can be upgraded with a specific off-road suspension and all-terrain tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and special rear differential. Prices start at $28,000 and climb to $40,000.
