Compact yet versatile and ready for rugged terrains, the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport might be the smaller cousin of the Ford Bronco, but its smaller size lends it the advantage of being able to maneuver through tight spaces where other SUVs can’t go. Along with exceptional performance, it also offers drivers plenty of interior comforts alongside intelligent tech features, making every drive a fun one, both on and off-road.

Performance

This edition of the Ford Bronco Sport offers two powerful engine choices: a 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter. The first engine produces 181 horsepower, helping it cruise highways and traverse through puddles and trails with ease. If you’d like more muscle, the 2.0-liter delivers 250 horses, more than enough to excite most drivers.

While every model comes with standard four-wheel drive, the Heritage Limited and Badlands trims come with an advanced system that provides additional traction to tackle the most demanding terrains. Also standard for all models is an impressive suspension system specifically for high-speed off-road racing and G.O.A.T. Modes, a quick-acting terrain management system that can optimize the vehicle to different terrains at a moment’s notice.

Design

The Bronco Sport’s five-passenger cabin is surprisingly spacious, and many comfort features are available, including leather-trimmed seats and dual-zone climate control. To free up space in the back, you can flip down the 60/40 split-folding seat, and if you need to wash mud or debris out of the cabin, the available rubberized flooring will surely come in handy, as well as the removable drain plugs.

When equipping the vehicle with the available A/T off-road tires, you’ll have up to 23.6 inches of extra ground clearance to make it over rocks or through puddles, and if you opt for the safari-style roof it’s sturdy enough for 150-pound cargo loads, and you’ll gain additional headspace with it in the cabin.

Technology

Providing all your entertainment needs, SYNC 3 is an infotainment system that can be used with either your voice or your fingers, thanks to its voice command technology and responsive touchscreen. While driving off-road, you can keep yourself from getting lost with the breadcrumb GPS navigation feature, which remembers your route, so you can easily find your way back.

Although the 2023 Bronco Sport is nimble enough while driving off-road to pivot around corners with ease, Trail Turn Assist enhances this for even tighter spaces. Then there’s the 180-degree camera, which can help you visualize animals, low-lying rocks, or other hazards on trails.

Safety

Among the Bronco Sport’s many innovative safety features is Pre-Collision Assist, which can sense when you’re unsafely approaching other vehicles and can warn you to slow down. If you fail to react quickly enough, Automatic Emergency Braking can then apply brake pressure to help avoid a collision.

Adaptive Cruise Control is an available system that can keep the vehicle moving at a pre-selected speed, and when vehicles stop in front of you, it can then apply brake pressure to do the same before accelerating again once the path is clear.

The 2023 Bronco Sport combines a unique compact design with impressive technology, as well as the versatility you need to explore beyond the beaten path. Come see everything else this one-of-a-kind SUV has to offer by contacting us today at Crown Ford Lynbrook.
