Ford has produced some of the most iconic models in automotive history. Few had as loyal a following as the Bronco. While that model has certainly received an appropriate amount of fanfare, it isn’t the only off-road-ready option bearing that historic moniker. The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport offers much of the same capability as the Bronco model but in a single two-row interior configuration. Independent online expert reviews have praised the 2023 Bronco Sport for its nearly unrivaled off-road capability, smartly designed control interface and a long list of customization options. Follow along with Summit Ford while we take a closer look at this incredible SUV platform.
Exterior
Iconic & Rugged Style
The Ford Bronco Sport casts an imposing silhouette on any piece of ground it occupies. In addition to that bold stance, it can also feature up to 8.8 inches of ground clearance and some of the most water-fording capabilities in its class. Even the SUV’s roof is built to work hard, offering 68 kg of cargo-carrying ability.
Protected From Damage
Traversing rough terrain means rocks and other debris can be kicked up, causing damage. The 2023 Bronco Sport is protected by wheel-arch mouldings and rocker panels. Badlands™ and Heritage Limited models offers metal bash plates to protect sensitive components located in the underbody.
