Ford has given the Bronco Sport a 2025MY update, and the big news is the new Sasquatch package. Available for the Outer Banks and Badlands trims, the Sasquatch package blesses this unibody SUV with even greater off-road prowess. On top of that, all 2025 Bronco Sport models now come with larger screens and more ADAS features as standard. When opted with the Sasquatch package, the compact SUV rolls on a set of grippier, larger 29-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires (235/65/R17), taking a cue from its bigger, body-on-frame Bronco sibling. This new rubber is paired with steel bumpers, extra underbody protection, and integrated tow hooks for when your off-road adventures don’t go quite as planned. As for mechanical upgrades, the 1.5-liter Bronco Sport Outer Banks Sasquatch now inherits the twin-clutch rear-drive unit and locking rear differential, features previously exclusive to the 2.0-liter Badlands.
The Badlands now comes with new springs,
boosting ground clearance by 10 mm. Opt for the Sasquatch package,
and you’ll also get Bilstein rear shocks with position-sensitive dampers and
piggyback reservoirs, increasing rear suspension travel to 221 mm,
a gain of 15 mm. The Badlands and Sasquatch trims also feature a
new Rally G.O.A.T. drive mode, which holds gears longer, sharpens throttle
response, and increases steering feedback. Additionally, all 2025 Bronco Sport
trims now come standard with a new Off-Road G.O.A.T. mode, complementing the
standard all-wheel-drive.
The 2025 MY powertrains come with a few
tweaks, but they’re still locked into that eight-speed automatic. The
turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder now delivers 180 hp and 271 Nm of torque—down by 1 hp but up by 10 lb-ft compared to last
year. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, reserved for the
Badlands and Badlands Sasquatch trims, churns out 238 hp and 373 Nm of torque. That’s 12 hp less than the previous version—on
paper, at least—just like we’ve seen with the 2025 Ford Maverick. Setting aside
the rugged enhancements of the Sasquatch package, the rest of the 2025 Ford
Bronco Sport lineup sticks with its familiar styling—unlike the freshly
facelifted 2025 Ford Maverick pickup. That said, there are some noteworthy
updates, like the modular points on the tweaked bumpers for mounting various
accessories and the refreshed wheel designs. For those opting for the Badlands
and Sasquatch trims, integrated tie-downs on the front fenders make it easier
than ever to secure your rooftop gear.
More significant upgrades await inside the
cabin. All 2025 Ford Bronco Sport trims now come standard with a larger
13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
The infotainment screen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while
the instrument cluster features graphics inspired by the Bronco Raptor. Ford
designers also introduced an optional passenger grab handle on the center
console, which can be easily swapped out using the “Bronco Bolts.” The same
modular approach applies to the “Bring Your Own Device” tray atop the
dashboard, which conveniently houses two of the six USB-C ports found
throughout the Bronco Sport’s cabin. Additionally, the Sasquatch trims come
equipped with a new overhead panel featuring auxiliary switches for added functionality.
Last but not least, the 2025 Bronco Sport
now comes standard with additional ADAS features, including Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport will
arrive in US dealerships in November, initially available in Big Bend, Outer
Banks, and Badlands trims. The Sasquatch models are set to follow in Q1 2025.
While pricing details will be revealed closer to the launch, the Outer Banks
Sasquatch is expected to start from around US$ 40,000, with the Badlands Sasquatch
close to US$ 45,000.
