What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport
"2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend"
"Coming out of a 2020 Ford Edge ST, I wasn't expecting a whole lot - but I'm actually pretty impressed. Tiny 1.5 3cyl is actually OK, especially in sport mode. I averaged 30mpg on a trip and about 25 or 26 everyday driving. Vehicle is very versatile and a tank in the snow here in New England. Build quality so far - excellent. Zero issues. Have only owned for 5 months, so I guess time will tell. I have the Convenience Package and power moonroof and navigation - essentials in my book. My only complaints are that Ford kind of scrimps on the little things - i.e. power windows - driver side only is auto up, other windows are not auto down or up, my brother owned a 2002 Volvo and it had all 4 windows auto down and auto up. Also no remote start on the key fob on the Big Bend trim, have to step up to the Outer Banks for that. C'mon Ford - for 34K, can we get a remote start key fob please. Thankful for the FordPass app - which allows remote start via phone. Ride quality is excellent and handling is very respectable. I'm 6 feet, 250 pounds - it's very comfortable. Solid vehicle - highly recommend."
"2025 is the year model to get"
"I got a 2025 Big Bend with the black diamond off road package. The steel modular front and rear in combination with bush guard gives this year model. A very aggressive off road look. With the ability to easily mount accessories and power them with the factory installed auxiliary switches. Hitch receiver seamlessly mounted into the rear steel bumper flanked by some very chunky recovery points. The upgraded aluminum rims wrapped with Continental all-terrains. It make this the most capable bronco sport yet. The interior of the 2025 has been updated with a new 13 inch touchscreen with Android Auto and apple car play. The lines of the dash flow elegantly from the new infotainment screen to the new all digital 12 inch gauge chaster. Toggling through the different modes on the gauge chaster is very intuitive, and all the displays are laid out very cleanly. Moving from gauge chaster the center storage cubby just below the infotainment screen there is a wireless charger and USB/ USB-c ports. The passenger side of that same cubby gets a handle and a matching one on the roof just in case the driver bucks a little too much. The passenger also gets a mesh storage area. That leads us to the fact this vehicle has tons of storage options all throughout. You have pockets on the sides of the front two seat big enough for the latest new phones. Very generous door storage on all four doors plus huge glove box and center console with 12 volt outlet. The back side of the center console has air vents and another 12 volt outlet plus a 110 outlet. Now getting to the cargo area it is massive for a crossover SUV. With off road package you get a cargo management system and a very nice rubber mat. Under that there is a full size tire plus scissor jack and funnel to use with the capless filler system. On the liftgate there isa pair of very bright led lights turned on with a switch in the cargo area. This feature packed vehicle has tons awesome gadgets and hidden a little homages I spend all day just talk that. At the end of the day it is car. So how does it drive. It is wonderful, the steering and pedal response is beautiful. Rides very smooth and little to no road noise going down the highway. The active cruise control and co-pilot 360 have been very handy. The car literally drives itself most of the time. There is not enough good things I could same about this car. I love it and you pick one too. You will see what I mean."
"A complete waste of money"
"I purchased brand new with on 3 miles on it in 2022. Brakes were bad immediately. 3 recalls in the first 2 yrs. Haven't even made it to 100, 000 miles and the transmission has gone out, rear differential unit has to be replaced, and I have an antifreeze leak. Let me be clear, I do maintain regular maintenance as well. I've had the windshield replaced twice(to be honest it needs to be replaced now). All of this while still having to pay for this lemon. Worst mistake ever! 😕"
