The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport roars onto the soft-roader scene with a plethora of changes and updates both inside and out. The latest model year represents the first full refresh for the rugged off-road oriented crossover, with an updated face and enhanced lineup of tech inside. Whether or not that refresh looks good is completely subjective as we’ve learned with the 2025 Ford Maverick. The compact pickup has thus far been panned by Blue Oval enthusiasts, although the refreshed 2025 Lincoln Navigator trended in the right direction. Today, Ford Authority is putting the 2025 Bronco Sport in the hot seat, and we want to know if our readers think it’s an improvement – or if the 2024 model is more attractive.

The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport drew a lot of inspiration from its big brother, the Bronco. It gets new grille options compared to its 2024 model year predecessor, and slight updates to its front fascia. It still boasts the iconic Bronco script front and center, bookended by horizontal lighting strips that lead the eye to its halo headlights, but the 2025 model boasts an updated lower front fascia with notches on either side of its lower intakes. It also features modular points that are ready to accept any number of off-road accessories.

In profile, the 2024 and 2025 Ford Bronco Sport look nearly identical, including the rugged roof rails up top and the slanted C-pillar. Out back, though, the 2025 Bronco Sport get a few minor updates that incorporate “Bronco Bolts,” plus modular accessory points, just like the front end.
There’s bigger news in the cockpit, though. The 2025 Bronco Sport features a larger infotainment screen than its predecessor, clocking in at 13.2 inches diagonally. It’s paired with a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument display showing off animations inspired by the Bronco Raptor. It also gets a grab handle inside.

Perhaps the most significant update for the 2025 Bronco Sport is the addition of the Sasquatch Package, a $2,990 option that kits the off-road crossover with numerous mechanical upgrades, along with a unique front bumper with tough steel bash plates. This package also adds recovery hooks to both ends of the crossover with recovery hooks, along with an off-road tuned suspension and high-clearance fenders.
For reference, pricing for the off-road crossover starts at $31,590 for the base Big Bend trim, including destination freight charges. In addition to the aforementioned changes and updates, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport ditches three exterior colors while gaining two new ones. Its assembly is handled at the Hermosillo Assembly plant in Mexico, where production is scheduled to begin on November 11th, 2024, as previously reported by Ford Authority.

Exterior is too fussy, interior is better, price is still obnoxious (why not a FWD version? And no, that one is NOT called Escape as the Escape is 8 inches longer. Probably shouldn’t have named the BS what they did. Would’ve made it easier to offer a FWD version. More Ford stupidity).
Agreed. Interior is much better, but the exterior is a no. Just looks like designers felt THey hd to do something — anything — to call it a refresh, and I think it’s a fail. The lines on the front and back are off.
The gaudy silver bumper insert really detracts from the BS looks hate it and the price increase won’t help already slow BS sales.
I just purchased a 24 Badlands. But when they came out in 21 I didn’t think much of them. Then I started watching YouTube Videos of people doing things I consider trashing there vehicles. But the Broncos Sports survived. I started getting a new appreciation for the Bronco Sport. I still think that people that rock crawl and mud run, hill climbing with these soft roaders are crazy, it does show just how tough and how good there 4×4 systems are.
Then I took a test drive in a 24 Badlands with the 2.0 engine. I was sold. The engine was very smooth and peppy. But Ford pls stop piping fake engine sounds into your vehicles. And you need to do a MUCH BETTER job at sound deadening the massive amount of road noise entering the cabin.
Am I disappointed I didn’t wait for the 25 model ……. No I am not.
