Key Takeaways
- The 2024 Bronco Sport is on its way, and it’s likely to be as popular as ever.

Will there be a 2024 Ford Bronco Sport?
Absolutely, yes! Not only will there be a 2024 Bronco Sport, but, based on its popularity, we expect this rugged compact crossover to sell very well.
Is Ford going to make a 2024 Ford Bronco Sport hybrid?
It’s widely expected that the Bronco Sport will offer a new hybrid powertrain for 2024! However, Ford hasn’t released any details on the topic. Since it sits on the same platform as the Maverick and Escape, it would be fitting for the Bronco Sport to offer the same hybrid powertrain as these models:
- 2.5L hybrid four-cylinder engine (192 hp, 155 lb-ft)
Otherwise, we expect the Bronco Sport powertrain options to look a lot like it did last year:
- Turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque)
- Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) (Badlands and Heritage Limited Edition only)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- All-wheel drive
Will the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport trim lineup change?
Aside from a potential hybrid engine option, we don’t expect to see any major changes to the Bronco Sport lineup for 2024. You’ll still be able to test-drive four main trim models: Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands. They provide a little something for everyone, whether you’re after a great deal on a new all-wheel-drive crossover or a luxury trail cruiser.
Just like previous models, the upcoming Bronco Sport will likely treat you to lots of standard tech features, from the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety aids (including blind-spot warning and forward collision mitigation) to an 8-inch central touchscreen. The current Bronco Sport comes standard with the SYNC 3 infotainment system. Although it’s possible that these new models will feature the SYNC 4 infotainment system, it’s just as likely that Ford will hold off on this upgrade until the 2025 model year. We’ll have to wait and see.
The Big Bend adds to the Base features with more convenience items, such as automatic climate control and keyless ignition and entry. With the Outer Banks, you’ll be big on style, thanks to standard features like leather upholstery and ambient interior lighting. Then there’s the Badlands, the Bronco Sport’s most capable trail cruiser. On it, you’ll find niceties like heated cloth front seats and a 180-degree trail camera system.
When can I order the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport?
Rumor has it that you’ll be able to order the new Bronco Sport beginning July 17, 2023. Internet rumors aside, though, we have yet to hear from Ford about this new model’s big debut. When we do, we’ll update this space with everything you need to know!
