The name is legendary. Its reputation for adventure is renowned. But this isn't quite the Ford Bronco your parents grew up with. Instead, the Ford Bronco Sport, affectionately nicknamed the Baby Bronco, provides a more compact way to enjoy all of life's journeys. Even after its debut last year, Ford is thinking of ways to give drivers an even better driving experience in 2022.
Updates to the 2022 Bronco Sport
If you were waiting a year to decide whether or not you need a Ford Bronco, now is the time to climb behind the wheel. It brings with it some substantial updates to the new model year. Some features are being expanded throughout the lineup, while others changes give you a refreshing change to this compact SUV.
- New Color Options: Three dynamic color options are now available for your 2022 Bronco Sport, so you can stand out when you hit the trails. The Bronze Smoke Metallic is an all-new shade for the Ford lineup, while the sizzling Hot Pepper Red replaces Rapid Red and has already been used on the Ford Ranger. Velocity Blue Metallic is a fresh take for the Bronco Sport and helps you shine as you climb through Hicksville and beyond.
- Moonroof: In its debut year, the Bronco Sport let you select a moonroof in certain upgraded trims. Now, if the only upgrade you want is the moonroof, you can get it. Even on the base trim as a standalone upgrade.
- Cargo Management System: This system lets you add tiers to your cargo space with a handy shelf. It can also be used as a divider to separate your groceries from your DIY project or luggage. Sure, this has been available before. But now you can get this handy addition in the base model.
Playing the Hits
Those new features are nice. But you want to drive the Bronco Sport because of its one-of-a-kind design and world-class driving capabilities. This is the foundation that made the Bronco an icon in its heyday. The Bronco Sport is only available as a four-door crossover and sports its legendary boxy shape. This taller design gives your passengers more headroom as you bob along the rocks and trails. It rides high off the ground to ensure exceptional clearance over almost any obstacle.
The Goes Over Any Terrain or G.O.A.T. system helps you make light work of any driving condition, be it wet, sandy, or your boring old highway. The system adds even more levels of capability as you climb through the trim ladder. Because it is smaller than its namesake, the Bronco Sport carries a slightly smaller powertrain than the Bronco. A turbocharged three-cylinder engine produces 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. A more potent turbocharged four-cylinder ups the game to 250 horsepower. Each version comes paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
There aren't a lot of changes to the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. But it gives drivers even more options when considering how they want to drive around Hicksville, OH. Come take this thrill-seeking SUV for a test drive at Jim Schmidt Ford and let your imagination run wild.
