First-Ever 2021 Ford Bronco Sport

If you’re looking for a rugged yet complaint everyday transporter, the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport might just be the thing for you. Its unibody construction gives it better handling and ride quality over pavement, but it doesn’t cut corners in 4x4 capability. Other off-road specialized features found on the Bronco Sport include Trail Control and seven available G.O.A.T. Modes – Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl. The Bronco Sport also gets more Co-Pilot360 driver assists, including autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automated lane centering and lane-keep assist.

Next-Generation 2021 Ford Bronco

The 2021 Bronco is intended for more serious off-road applications, boasting a body-on-frame construction with a removable roof and doors to satisfy any adventurer's whims. The Bronco gets a few bonuses in its off-road features, packing on Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist, Trail One-Pedal Drive, available off-road navigation and an available Baja Mode meant for gliding over rough terrain at high speeds.

Choosing your ideal pick from the Bronco Family means deciding what’s important to you. The Bronco Sport is ideal for drivers who don’t necessarily need all the bells and whistles of an extreme off-roader, but still want authentic 4x4 capability, rugged style and a heavy dose of off-road features. But if you’re more interested in a bonified, purebred, no-nonsense automotive icon that’s built to get you to point B, the next-generation Ford Bronco is your all-terrain soulmate.
