2024 Ford Bronco Sport SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is offered in five trim levels: Big Bend, Heritage, Free Wheeling, Outer Banks and Badlands. The first four come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque), while the Badlands packs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (250 hp, 277 lb-ft).

  • 17-inch black wheels with red pockets
  • Five-color seat inserts with multicolor stitching

The Black Diamond Off-Road package, available for Big Bend and Outer Banks trims, adds back a bit of off-road attitude with:

  • 17-inch gloss gray alloy wheels
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Unique graphics

Badlands
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

  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package is available on all trims. 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

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

Which Bronco Sport trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Bronco Sport's entire reason for being is to offer off-road capability beyond most compact crossovers, so we'd go for the Bronco-est of the Sports, the Badlands. It gets an upgraded all-wheel-drive system, off-road-optimized suspension, skid plates and all-terrain tires, plus many of the comfort and convenience features available on any other trim. And it's the only Bronco Sport with the 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder.
