our expert's take

What Is the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport?

The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport is a five-seat SUV with a hint of the throwback design found on its bigger sibling, the Bronco. Powering the standard Bronco Sport is a turbocharged three-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Optional is a 250-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder that adds considerably more pep when quick acceleration is needed. The SUV’s upright shape is great for headroom and cargo space; the space behind the backseat measures approximately 32 cubic feet.

Whats New on the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport?

Ford has added Heritage Edition and Heritage Limited Edition trims to the Bronco Sport lineup for the 2023 model year. They add retro design cues borrowed from the bigger Bronco, including a white roof and white-painted front grille, plus pastel paint hues inspired by the 1960s-era Bronco SUV.

What Features in the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 8-inch infotainment screen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wi-Fi hot spot
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Forward collision warning
  • Blind spot warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Six-speaker audio system

Available features include:

  • Wireless device charging
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Moonroof
  • Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Front-facing trail camera
  • Tow hooks
  • Off-road suspension
  • Leather seating

Should I Buy the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport?

Many SUV shoppers will flock to the larger, more expensive, thirstier Bronco, but the Bronco Sport should not be discounted. Thanks to its smaller size, more fuel-efficient engines and respectable all-terrain capability, the Bronco Sport is a strong alternative to the macho-overload Bronco. Based on the same platform as the Ford Escape compact SUV, the Bronco Sport is easy to drive on a daily basis, and it’s highly customizable thanks to its many trim levels and wide range of options.

I’m contacting a lawyer about lemon laws

We have a new 2023 bronco sport we bought August 1923. In January it was in the shop for 22 days because it wouldn’t go into reverse replaced three or four parts and finally got it going again. But then last week, the air conditioner went out, and now that’s working. But now the screen in the car intermittently goes black for a whole drive And needs to go back to the shop tomorrow. This has been a horrible experience for my daughter with her first car.
