Specs at a Glance

The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport is a premier choice for those who demand a compact SUV with authentic trail-ready heritage. Both the Big Bend and Badlands trims offer impressive levels of functionality and style. Whether you are navigating city streets or forest paths, these models are built to perform.

Performance

Under the hood of the Big Bend lies a 180-horsepower, 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine. This provides ample capability for a wide range of driving scenarios. The Badlands trim offers a 2-liter four-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard across the Big Bend line, while the Badlands utilizes an advanced 4x4 all-wheel drivetrain.

The Badlands is further distinguished by its mechanical hardware, including steel skid plates and an off-road-tuned suspension with a factory lift. Its twin-clutch rear drive unit enhances traction in slippery conditions. Drivers can utilize five G.O.A.T. modes in the Big Bend, whereas the Badlands includes seven selectable modes, adding specific calibrations for Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl.

Appearance

Aesthetic choices vary between these two configurations of the 2026 Bronco Sport. The Big Bend standardizes a body-color roof, while the Badlands features a standard shadow-black roof. White BRONCO lettering over a carbonized black grille is a common sight on both, though the Big Bend allows for different grille and lettering color combinations. Black door handles are standard for both, but the Big Bend offers a body-color handle option for a more integrated look.

Features

The Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 safety system is included on every Big Bend and Badlands model. In the Badlands, this is supplemented by a surround-view camera featuring trail view and sensors for front parking. The interior technology is centered around an 8-inch screen in the Big Bend and a 12.3-inch digital cluster in the Badlands. Premium touches in the Badlands include leather-trimmed heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
