The new Ford Bronco Sport offers an appealing combination of on-road comfort and off-road capability. It comes with attractive retro-modern body work that will get attention wherever you drive. The new Bronco Sport has solid body control on paved surfaces along with a comfortable suspension system and responsive handling. It gives you a good amount of ground clearance and the kind of off-road equipment that delivers more capability than you might expect when you’re off the beaten path. Let’s take a closer look at the new 2024 Ford Bronco Sport compact SUV and see why it’s worth a test drive at Midway Ford in Miami, FL.
Engines
The new Bronco Sport is built with the same platform as the one Ford used for the Escape crossover and every version comes with all-wheel drive. The base powertrain is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower and you can move up to a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder that’s good for 245 horsepower. Both team up with an 8-speed automatic transmission and the bigger engine offers paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel for more engaged driving as well as upgraded cooling components.
The 3-cylinder version of the new Bronco Sport can give you solid fuel efficiency that comes in at 25 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. It’s worth noting that Car and Driver experts measured a remarkable 33 MPG on their highway test. With the 4-cylinder engine you should get around 21 miles with every gallon on city streets and up to 26 MPG on highways around Hialeah and Kendall, FL.
Performance
With the top-level Badlands trim you’ll get a variety of exclusive equipment that includes a twin-clutch rear-wheel-drive system and a differential lock. This upper-tier Bronco Sport model also comes with all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, a 1.0-inch suspension lift for extra ground clearance and stronger dampers. That’s why the Badlands model has off-road capabilities that will surpass your expectations. The Bronco Sport has the ability to tow up to 2200 pounds when it’s equipped with the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The standard 3-cylinder engine can tow as much as 2000 pounds.
Interior
The new Bronco Sport gives you an upright seating position for a more commanding view of the road and it also provides a respectable amount of rear-seat leg room. With the help of a roof line that’s elevated in the rear, you’ll get extra headroom and enough cargo space for two mountain bikes. You can outfit the cargo hold with a special slide-out table that can double as a handy workspace that Hollywood, FL drivers will appreciate. The Bronco Sport also offers an available 400-watt power inverter that can power appliances as well as LED lights built into the inside of the rear gate to give you helpful overhead lighting. The rear gate has a glass hatch and even a handy built-in bottle opener.
Technology
Standard tech features in the new Ford Bronco Sport include an 8-inch touch screen, voice recognition, a six-speaker stereo, push-button start, proximity keyless entry, satellite radio and smartphone connectivity. Available tech upgrades include wireless device charging, an automatically-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, a household-style power outlet and a premium Bang & Olufsen stereo with 10 speakers.
Safety
The new Ford Bronco Sport comes with standard safety features that include the reassurance of a rearview camera, automatic high-beam headlights, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, a forward collision warning system, lane-departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Available safety upgrades include adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers and an evasive-steering assist system that helps steer the Bronco Sport to avoid collisions.
