When it comes to the 2026 Bronco Sport, it remains undefeated in being the practical and cost-saving model over other vehicles on the market. We’ll be taking a deeper dive into what you can expect from the 2026 Bronco as it comes out.
Key Takeaways:
- With no release date announced just yet, we want to be the first to keep you informed.
- With other models in the Ford family receiving the Tremor trim, there’s a strong chance that this will come to the Bronco Sport, making it an even better option for those who want something powerful and capable without breaking the bank.
- The Bronco Sport comes with an efficient engine, making it a surprisingly good city driver.
Is there going to be a 2026 Ford Bronco Sport?
Yes, there will more than likely be a 2026 Ford Bronco Sport.
While Ford hasn’t given any official word yet on the 2026 Bronco Sport, there’s no reason to believe that there isn’t one on the way. We believe that the Bronco Sport will come with some great features this year, as other models in the Ford family have been equipped with the “Tremor” trim. This is an off-road-focused trim, adding massive tires to other larger siblings, so it only makes sense that this model will also receive it, being that it is an off-road monster, just with a lower price.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Ford Bronco Have?
The 2026 Ford Bronco is likely to output 180 horsepower as standard.
When looking at the Bronco Sport from recent years, it comes with two engine options. There’s the smaller 1.5L I3 engine that outputs 180 horsepower as mentioned above, and the larger 2.0L I4 that outputs 250 horsepower.
Between the two engines, the best one to get for those who want the most mileage is the 1.5L, as it comes with an EPA-rated 27 MPG combined, making it a solid daily driver that you can take off-road, perfect for off-road enthusiasts with a family to look after.
With that being said, the 2.0L I4 isn’t awful either when it comes to fuel economy, as it comes with an EPA-rated 23 combined MPG. With the power and the fuel economy, this makes a solid choice for those who want something fun.
What is the Starting Price of the Ford Bronco Sport?
The 2026 Bronco Sport is likely to start around $37,000.
When looking at the prices from previous years, we can expect a starting price around $34,000. This is starting with the Big Bend trim, going a step up is the Free Wheeling trim that starts at $37,000. Going up a step is the Heritage trim, starting at $37,500; the Outer Banks starts at $40,000, with the lineup topping Badlands starting at $44,000. With the Tremor potentially joining the lineup, it’s likely somewhere in the middle of the lineup, giving you something to hunt for.
If the lineup remains the same, the go-to trim according to Car and Driver is the Badlands. This is thanks to it coming with “a lifted suspension and upgraded dampers for tackling rugged terrain”.
When will the 2026 Bronco Sport be available?
With no exact release date on the docket, we can only speculate that this model will come out towards the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026. No matter what, we want to keep you updated with all of the latest information as it comes out. If you don’t want to wait, we don’t blame you.
