Ford's debut of the 2021 Bronco brings more hype and excitement than any Ford vehicle other than the
Mustang and Shelby models in recent memory. It has been just about twenty-five years since we saw the
Bronco in the Ford lineup. Fortunately, this time around, it isn't just full-grown bucking Broncos to
hit the desert, forests, and mountains this time. If you remember, back in the 1980s, Ford debuted what
has been called the "Baby Bronco," this short version of the Bronco was intended to be an economical
approach to the G.O.A.T. (Go Over Any Terrain) vehicle also known in today's world as the S.U.V. Fortunately for those enthusiasts and individuals who want capability, adventure, and efficiency, the
all-new 2021 Bronco Sport
will be the "Built Wild" version for you. Just as the Bronco II served a
purpose of style, functionality, and practicality, so does the Bronco Sport. This all-new breed of
stallion provides more efficiency, practically, and capability than the Bronco II could ever imagine. We
believe that this model will serve as the intermediary between off-road capability and virtually for
those who want a piece of Bronco history while remaining cost-efficient and useful for every adventure
in the American wild.

First glance, you can quickly tell that this has Bronco design language written all over it from front to
back and side to side. We can confirm the Bronco Sport design team was hard at work, making it look
Bronco distinctly. Its round inspired shape headlamps, standout honeycomb grille, and an aggressive wide
front stance; all of these characteristics are uniquely Bronco in every way. Unlike the Bronco II of the
1980s, this descendant of the Bronco lineage takes a more modern design and functionality approach. The
Bronco Sport was designed to have the most functionality, and off-road capability of any Bronco II ever
built. It is why it has a full skid plate integrated into the bumper and rock sliders that are
integrated into the side skirts to help you have a set of reassurance when rock crawling those tricky
obstacles. As did the Bronco II, have a boxy design, which incorporated the original 1960s flat panel design, which
was simplistic yet effective to get the most of what you needed in the wild. The Bronco Sport combines
all the unique Bronco design while also using the Bronco II design to include an instantly recognizable
Bronco. Moving to the rear end, we can see it is a simplistic design that helps in the fantastic ground
clearance for the segment and will help in water fording when crossing a big river or stream. Overall we
think that Ford did an excellent design for the Bronco Sport and reflects the image of what the Bronco
II came to be in the 1980s. Since the Bronco Sport is based on the same architecture as the Ford Escape, it was apparent that it
would share some pieces that would make them similar. Fortunately, for the sake of the architecture, the
similarities stop. Ford took careful detail in developing the Bronco Sport in drivetrain and powertrain
to make sure it can keep up and live up to its big brother in the full-size Bronco two-door and
four-door. The all-new 2021 Bronco Sport will be available with two choices of engines, a standard
engine that is the 1.5L 3-cylinder Ecoboost which produces a pretty remarkable 181 horsepower at 6,000
RPM and 190 lb/ft of torque at 3,000 RPM which is the standard option in the base platform of the Bronco
Sport. We believe enthusiasts will opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder that puts out a whopping 245
horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 275 lb/ft of torque at 3,000 RPM which means it will aid the Bronco Sport
getting through whatever mud, rocks, sand, snow, or dunes you can put it through. The great thing Ford
integrated and especially came standard on the Badlands model, is the dual-clutch rear locking axle that
gives it the off-road prowess of its big brother. We are very intrigued to see how the new "Baby Bronco
will handle the outdoors just as the full-size Bronco will conquer any mountain or trail it has thrown
its way. Each Bronco Sport will be equipped with 8-speed automatic transmission, but when you opt for
the 2.0L EcoBoost enthusiasts will receive an oil cooler and a manual shifting option with paddle
shifters for a visceral and driver-focused experience. The Bronco Sport features a very sophisticated and practical interior that will allow any enthusiasts to
feel utterly comfortable while attacking the various terrains across the United States. Starting with
the driver's seat, you can tell Bronco engineers were focused on giving enthusiasts a driver-centric
cockpit that would put everything within fingertips to control this wild horse. Like it's Escape
sibling, the Bronco Sport has a full-color LCD screen right in the gauge cluster that displays all the
necessary information such as steering angle, water temperature, descent angle. It notifies you what
G.O.A.T mode you are in for whatever terrain you are tackling. Moving over to the center console, you will find a full color 8 inch LCD infotainment screen that
commands presence right upfront. One neat feature shared with its big brother is the splash screen that
shows you the bucking bronco emblem on what you're saddling into the Bronco Sport. This infotainment
system integrates Ford's latest Sync 4 system, which is the latest to incorporate features such as Apple
CarPlay, Android Auto, Terrain Maps, and FordPass Performance. All of these will help the adventure get
the guidance they need to conquer the wild at a moment's notice. Flowing into the center console, you
will find the dial shifter along with the dial for all the Go Over Any Terrain modes that will allow the
Bronco to beat any terrain out there. Finally, you will find a plush and spacious interior that will allow you to fit two full-size mountain
bikes, hiking gear, rock climbing equipment, and efficient cargo management to keep track of all the
gear you need to conquer your next adventure you have planned. Every Bronco Sport interior will have
options to customize the interior to the specifications based on the trim model and options chosen. So
it seams Ford interior designers were aiming for no two to be alike out on the road or the trailhead!
One prominent feature on the Bronco Sport over its Jeep and Land Rover Competition is the ability to have
"Built Wild" capability ultimately. Ford wanted this to be the Bronco that bridges the gap between city
life and getting out to the wild where people genuinely discover themselves. We are so glad to hear Ford
will offer over 100 accessories that will include rooftop temps, roof racks, cargo management system for
the trunk, foldable table, and a bike rack system that will allow you to fit two full-size mountain
bikes inside with the seats folded down. It is truly incredible the revelation that Ford took as much
time as they put this much innovation and thought process to knock it out of the park altogether. Like its big brother, the Bronco Sport will receive a host of upgradable accessories including
lightbars, rock rails, and skid plates to give you all the tools you need to find out what "Built Wild"
truly means in the American outback, trailhead, and tundra. Steeda is very much looking forward to
making our mark into the Bronco Sports segment to help improve the aftermarket presence for this well
rounded bucking Bronco. Stay tuned right here for all the latest updates in our lineup of future parts
for Broncos' entire family! For some time now, there has been so much speculation on what the “Mini Bronco” will be. Finally,
after all this time those questions can come to a close because the very first leaked photos
have been posted by our friends over at Bronco6G!
At first glance, the Bronco Sport immediately tells us that it will be the main competitor to the Jeep
Renegade in the small-SUV market. Due to its size, design language, and stance. It is clear that it was
the target for competition during its design process. One thing is for sure, Ford took their time and
used design cues from the original “Mini Bronco.” Back in 1984-1990, Ford built the original small SUV
to enter the American market with off-road capability, style, and sophistication. The same language seems to be applied here with the 2021 Bronco Sport.
What jumps out at us first from this side shot is the Bronco Sport has an unmistakable long hood, short
wheelbase, and aggressive rear quarter panels that scream Bronco design. If you were to compare this to
the 1984-1990 Bronco II the resemblance is almost identical!
From the front of the Bronco Sport, it seems to be designed to stand out from the crowd. Ford was
keen on making sure that they didn’t mess up the comeback from one of America’s most iconic
vehicles.
Comparing both, the Bronco Sport seems to be much wider than the original Bronco II, has a much more
pronounced grille, LED headlights with a DRL, front tow hooks, and a rounded front bumper cover to
give the Bronco Sport a much better approach angle in off-road conditions. It seems to be that Ford
still wants people to have some off-road capability just like the Bronco Sports big brother.
The rear of the Bronco Sport definitely has some serious
attitude. Clearly this Ford wants
everyone to know exactly what this is by adding large Bronco Sport badging front and center.
Large taillights and broad quarter panels give it that muscle inspired look while still
retaining classy design. So, stay tuned to the Steeda website and social media channels for the latest information on the
2021 Bronco and
Bronco Sport!
