Used 2023 Ford Bronco Sport SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport is offered in six trim levels: Base, Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks, Badlands and Heritage Limited. The first four come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque), while the Badlands and Heritage Limited pack a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (250 hp, 277 lb-ft). Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel-drive system. Two-wheel drive is not offered. Notable features in each trim level includes:

Every Bronco Sport also comes with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features that includes:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

The Badlands model adds the larger four-cylinder engine and comes with the most off-roading features. Compared to the Big Bend trim, it boasts:

  • Off-road-optimized suspension and all-terrain tires
  • Upgraded 4WD system with special rear differential
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Front tow hooks
  • Terrain-specific driving modes

  • Rubberized flooring
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated cloth front seats

  • Wireless charging pad
  • 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Heritage Limited
True to its name, only 1,966 examples of the Heritage Limited edition will be produced. It combines the Heritage visual upgrades with the features of the Badlands. You also get:

  • Badlands Premium package
  • Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package (detailed below)
  • Remote engine start
  • Sunroof
  • White interior accents
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather/synthetic leather upholstery

The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package is available on all trims with the exception of the Base trim. Features include:

  • Adaptive cruise control with speed limit recognition (maintains a driver-set distance between the Ford and the car in front, and can also react to traffic signs and set speed)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Navigation system

With the exception of the Base trim, the Class II Trailer Tow package with trailer sway control (adjusts vehicle brakes to help control trailer movement if a trailer begins to sway) is available.  Stand-alone options available on most trims include a sunroof and larger all-terrain tires.

Which Bronco Sport trim does Edmunds recommend?

Assuming you don't need the most off-road-capable Bronco Sport — the Badlands trim — we recommend the Big Bend for a pleasing mix of features and value. It slots above the Base trim and below the pricier Outer Banks trim. We'd suggest adding the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package for more advanced driver aids, including adaptive cruise control.
