What’s new for the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport?
Rumors abound, but the truth is no one is quite sure what to expect from the upcoming Bronco Sport. Ford has yet to reveal the latest edition of its small-but-sporty SUV, further fueling rumors about a mid-cycle refresh.
The Bronco Sport made its debut for 2021, so major updates aren’t out of the question! A refresh could include new performance packages, enhanced powertrains, a longer list of standard features, and more. But we’ll have to wait to find out for sure! There’s one thing we do know, however. The upcoming Bronco Sport was spotted performing test runs wearing a new paint color, Orange Fury.
Is the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport good for weekend adventures in Southwest Florida?
Absolutely! We don’t need to know much about the upcoming Bronco Sport to know that it’ll arrive ready for adventure. Every edition of this compact SUV has delivered standard all-wheel drive, helping drivers maintain their composure in the mud, sand, and grass. Whether you like to take the backroads to your favorite fishing spot or slosh through the mud at Big Cypress, the Bronco Sport is always ready for action.
