2021 Ford Bronco Sport

For 2021, the Ford Bronco comes in five trim levels: base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and First Edition. The base trim level rides on 17-inch wheels and has roof rails, LED headlights, and a rear liftgate with a flip-up rear window and lighting. The Big Bend trim level adds fog lights and tinted rear passenger and cargo windows. Consider the Badlands trim level if you're looking for off-roading features like front tow hooks, underbody skid plates, all-terrain tires, and an off-road suspension. The final trim level, the First Edition, adds slightly taller all-terrain tires, a sunroof, a Class II tow hitch receiver, and roof rack crossbars.

Buyers can pick from two engine options for the 2021 Bronco Sport. The base engine offering is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-three engine that can produce 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. This engine links to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The second engine option is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that generates 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-liter engine also links to an eight-speed automatic transmission, but this transmission adds steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, manual shifting mode, and an oil cooler.

All-wheel drive is standard across the board for the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The vehicle is made with the off-road in mind, especially if you opt for the Badlands trim level. The 2021 Bronco Sport has 8.8-inches of ground clearance, several skid plates, and traction control modes. For when you're not off the beaten path, the Bronco Sport has quick and lightly weighted steering for responsive driving and easy maneuverability. When properly equipped, this compact SUV can tow up to 2,200 pounds.

There are two rows of seating in the 2021 Bronco Sport. The second row of seating can fold down, allowing for versatile cabin use. With the seats folded up, the Bronco Sport offers 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second row folded down, this SUV allows for 65.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. This compact SUV features an 8-inch touch screen on the dashboard. The screen works alongside four USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, six-speaker stereo system, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Remote keyless entry and a manual rear liftgate with floodlights and a built-in bottle opener are also standard with the 2021 Bronco Sport.
