2026 Ford Bronco Sport
2026 Ford
Bronco Sport
Since debuting for the 2021 model year, the five-seat Ford Bronco Sport has proven itself as a leader in its segment. Its above-average capability and standard all-wheel drive set it apart from other compact crossovers, especially on snow-covered pavement and unpaved roads. For 2026, Ford has streamlined the Bronco Sport lineup by dropping the retro-themed Free Wheeling trim. The Heritage edition remains, though, offering styling cues of the original Bronco from the 1960s. Ford has also added an option for the Bronze Package to augment the entry-level Big Bend’s equipment roster with heightened style inside and out.
