What’s new for the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport?
This year, the Bronco Sport is rolling out a new trim model called Free Wheeling. It builds on the Big Bend features with special, 70s-style design, including sunset-colored ombre stripes on the exterior side panels and front seats. If you crave attention, the Free Wheeling trim can certainly help!
Last year’s Base model has been discontinued, making the Big Bend the new entry-level option. That means you get a lot more standard features than before, from automatic climate control to keyless ignition and entry.
Finally, the latest Bronco Sport offers two new exterior colors, Desert Sand and Azure Gray. The Big Bend trim model also offers some exterior upgrades, compliments of the newly available Black Appearance package.
Do all 2024 Ford Bronco Sport models have AWD?
Yes! Every Bronco Sport trim model comes standard with all-wheel drive, which of course makes it a very capable compact crossover. Depending on the Bronco Sport trim model, however, you’ll find two engine options available.
Most Bronco Sports feature the turbocharged, 181-horsepower base engine. If you want a little extra oomph (plus quite a few trail-friendly standard features), consider the Bronco Sport Badlands. It’s the only trim model to feature the sportier powertrain, including a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 250 horses.
If you’ve been paying attention to these sporty compact crossovers since their 2021 debut, the 2024 Bronco Sport powertrain specs will look familiar:
- Standard turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque)
- Badlands/Heritage Limited: turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- All-wheel drive
Which infotainment system does the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport have?
Every 2024 Bronco Sport comes standard with the SYNC 3 infotainment system, which includes an 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The newer SYNC 4 system may arrive next year, however, if Ford gives the Bronco Sport its anticipated mid-cycle refresh!
If you can’t wait until then, you’ll be pleased to know that SYNC 3 works very well, providing quick responses to your input. You can also add the available built-in navigation system to help you stay on the right track, even when your phone service is spotty. Thanks to the system’s smartphone connectivity, you can forgo the SYNC technology altogether and simply use your phone’s maps and music apps throughout your drive.
Every 2024 Bronco Sport also offers remote access via the FordPass smartphone application. The app’s Connected Services include remote locking and unlocking technology. FordPass also allows you to easily check fuel levels or warranty details.
How much does the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport cost?
The entry-level 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend trim model starts at $31,230. When you consider its trail-ready powertrain and roomy, modern cabin, you’d expect these sporty crossovers to cost a lot more! The MSRP does vary, of course, depending on trim model and equipment!
