Overview

Competing in the compact SUV, the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Subaru Outback, the Jeep Wrangler, and the Toyota 4Runner. Spread across 5 trims, the Bronco Sport starts off at a base price of MSRP $32,000 and carries on to $41,000. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 1.5L turbocharged I-3 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. Making 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the Bronco Sport capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just 8.6 seconds and carries the capability to tow 1,170 pounds. The second engine is a bigger 2.0L turbocharged I-4 that is paired with the 8-speed automatic. With 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 2,200 pounds.

Buying Advice

Among the lineup, the Big Bend offers the best bang for the buck. However, if you need more power, the Badlands is the best bet. The highlights of the Big Bend trim include heating for the rearview mirrors, rear passenger and cargo window glasses tinted, automatic climate control, rubber cargo floor and scratch-resisting cloth upholstery, and Molle cargo straps among a few others.
