Key Features of the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport

G.O.A.T. Modes Terrain Management System

G.O.A.T. — Goes Over Any Type of Terrain — is more than a catchy acronym. It is the Bronco® Sport’s adaptable brain, tailoring throttle response, shift mapping, steering feel, and traction control to the surface under your tires. Common modes cover everyday driving and slippery weather, while more specialized settings help manage wheelspin in sand or maintain momentum on loose grades. Toggle the rotary controller, and the SUV’s character changes in an instant — sharpening throttle for quick responses or softening inputs to help build traction. The result is confidence that matches the elevation and season, whether you are tackling a muddy trailhead or easing down a snow-dusted pass.

Badlands® Twin-Clutch Rear Drive Unit

Step into Badlands® and you unlock an advanced twin-clutch rear drive unit with differential-locking capability. When the going gets uneven — a rutted climb, off-camber ledge, or washboard climb — the system can direct nearly all available rear torque to the wheel with the most bite. It functions like a smart locker, but with the finesse to meter power when you transition from rock to dirt or dirt to pavement. Pair it with a dedicated off-road tire, and the Bronco® Sport becomes a compact machine that punches well above its size class on choppy, technical terrain. This is the heart of the Badlands® advantage for drivers who spend real time beyond the blacktop.

Trail Control

Think of Trail Control as low-speed cruise control for the backcountry. Activate it on qualified surfaces, set a target pace, and focus on line choice while the system modulates throttle and braking. On descents, it acts like a downhill assist, maintaining a steady crawl without riding the pedal. On climbs, it meters power to keep traction building without surging. For long, rocky pitches or whooped-out sections that demand attention, this feature helps you stay composed and consistent, reducing fatigue and letting you concentrate on steering, spotting, and communicating with your passenger or trail partner.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology and Connected Navigation

Confidence extends to every mile thanks to Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology, a suite of driver-assist features designed to support awareness and reduce fatigue. Systems such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps are there to help when traffic stacks up or weather turns. SYNC anchors the infotainment experience with intuitive phone pairing, voice control, and available Connected Navigation that factors traffic and trailhead routes into the plan. Add the available 360-degree view features and parking aids, and tight trailhead lots or parallel spots downtown feel far less stressful, especially when visibility is compromised by rain or dust.

Versatile Cargo Solutions and Safari-Style Roof

From camping kits to mountain bikes, the Bronco® Sport is engineered to carry your lifestyle. The tall, safari-style roof helps accommodate bikes upright with the front wheels removed in the cargo area, while tie-downs and MOLLE strap panels keep loose items organized. The flip-up rear glass makes quick grabs easy when the hatch cannot swing open, and the low, flat load floor helps awkward gear slide in without drama. Available rubberized flooring, washable surfaces, and clever underfloor storage mean post-adventure cleanup is as simple as a hose and a towel. Add the USB-powered accessory tray up front and those four pre-wired hero switches, and installing dash cams, scene lighting, or a compressor becomes a clean, tidy job.
