Ford Bronco Sport statistics span U.S. sales, model specifications, controlled crash tests and recall populations. The measures below identify their model year, test vehicle, geography and limitations so sales, capability ratings and safety results are not treated as interchangeable outcomes.

Ford Bronco Sport Sales Statistics and Market Trends
Ford’s U.S. sales data show a larger annual total in 2023 than in 2022. These are Ford-reported sales, not registrations, and they describe the United States rather than global deliveries.
| Period | Ford-reported U.S. sales | Source comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Calendar 2022 | 99,547 vehicles | Ford Motor Company Q4 2023 U.S. Sales |
| Calendar 2023 | 127,476 vehicles | Ford Motor Company Q4 2023 U.S. Sales |
| 2022–2023 | 28.1% increase | Ford Motor Company Q4 2023 U.S. Sales |
Quarterly results also increased in the supplied comparison. Ford reported 31,101 Bronco Sport sales in Q4 2023, compared with 19,571 in Q4 2022, a 58.9% year-over-year increase.
Using Ford’s reported SUV totals, Bronco Sport represented about 14.7% of Ford’s 2023 U.S. SUV sales, based on 127,476 units out of 865,499. The comparable 2022 ratio was about 11.6%, based on 99,547 units out of 861,256; both are simple ratios of Ford totals, not independent market-share estimates.
Ford Bronco Sport Dimensions, Seating and Cargo Data
The 2025 U.S. specification describes a five-occupant vehicle, while interior capacity changes with configuration. Ford lists total passenger volume at 105.6 cubic feet in one configuration and 102.3 cubic feet with the alternate roof configuration.
| 2025 interior measure | Listed value | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Seating | 5 occupants | U.S. model specification |
| Passenger volume | 105.6 cu. ft. | One configuration |
| Passenger volume | 102.3 cu. ft. | Alternate roof configuration |
| Cargo behind second row | 32.5 cu. ft. | Standard 1.5L configuration |
| Cargo behind second row | 29.4 cu. ft. | Listed alternate configurations |
| Cargo behind first row | 65.2 cu. ft. | Listed standard configuration |
The 2025 Bronco Sport Tech Specs also list 41.5 inches of front effective headroom without the roof option and 39.1 inches with it. Second-row effective headroom is 41.7 inches, while maximum front legroom is 42.4 inches and effective second-row legroom is 36.9 inches.
The standard listed wheelbase is 105.1 inches, although some options list 105.0 inches. These are manufacturer measurements, so roof and other configuration choices matter when comparing cabin space.
Ford Bronco Sport Engine, Fuel Economy and Towing Statistics
For the 2026 U.S. model year, Ford lists two EcoBoost engine outputs. The 1.5L produces 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0L produces 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft; both ratings use premium fuel and the SAE J1349 standard.
| 2026 configuration | Power | Torque | Listed fuel economy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L EcoBoost | 180 hp | 200 lb-ft | 25 city / 30 highway mpg |
| 2.0L Outer Banks listing | 250 hp | 280 lb-ft | 21 city / 27 highway mpg |
The fuel figures are Ford trim-page listings, and final window-sticker ratings should be verified. Configuration and testing conditions affect the comparison.
The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport SUV page lists maximum towing of 2,200 pounds for 1.5L models with the Class II Trailer Tow Package. The 2026 Badlands 2.0L model reaches 2,700 pounds, subject to proper equipment, passengers, cargo and conditions.
The 2025 specification lists curb weight from 3,458 to 3,729 pounds for the 1.5L configurations and from 3,809 to 3,849 pounds for the 2.0L configurations. Listed payload ranges from 912 to 934 pounds for the 1.5L and from 914 to 917 pounds for the 2.0L, with values varying by trim, package and load assumptions.
Ford Bronco Sport Ground Clearance and Off-Road Geometry
The 2025 U.S. specifications show meaningful configuration differences in geometric capability. Minimum running ground clearance is listed at 7.8 inches in the standard configuration and reaches 8.8 inches in one listed configuration.
| 2025 capability or geometry | Listed value | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum running ground clearance | 7.8 in. | Standard configuration |
| Minimum running ground clearance | 8.8 in. | One listed configuration |
| Approach angle | 22.1° | One configuration |
| Approach angle | 31.2° | High-angle configuration |
| Departure angle | 30.8° | One configuration |
| Ramp breakover angle | 21.7° | Listed configuration |
| Crawl ratio | 18:1 | Listed 1.5L and 2.0L configurations |
Water-fording ratings also vary. The 2025 1.5L is rated at 17.7 inches in the standard configuration and 20.6 inches in the listed configuration, while the 2.0L is rated at 23.6 inches; Ford’s specification cautions drivers to determine water depth and proceed slowly.
For 2026, the 1.5L front track is 63.6 inches and the Badlands front track is 63.9 inches. The 1.5L model length is 173.1 inches, with dimensions varying by engine and options; the Badlands has seven G.O.A.T. terrain modes, while Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks have five standard modes.
Ford Bronco Sport Crash-Test and Occupant-Protection Data
IIHS results are controlled crash-test measurements from specified vehicles, not population-level injury rates or real-world accident probabilities. The 2024 IIHS rating page identifies a 2021 Bronco Sport XLT 4-door 4WD for the small-overlap driver test.
| IIHS test measure | Result | Test scope |
|---|---|---|
| Driver-side small-overlap HIC-15 | 79 | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
| Driver-side chest compression | 24 mm | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
| Driver-side maximum Nij | 0.23 | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
| Driver-side left tibia axial force | 2.3 kN | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
| Driver-side left foot acceleration | 48 g | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
| Passenger-side small-overlap HIC-15 | 84 | 2021 XLT 4-door 4WD |
The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport IIHS rating supplies the driver-side technical measurements. The IIHS moderate-overlap and updated-side test page reports 36 mm of driver-torso maximum deflection in the 2024 updated-side test for a 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend 4-door 4WD.
In the IIHS pedestrian test for the 2021–2024 system rating, the standard system avoided the crossing-child collision at 12 mph. This is a controlled test outcome, not a real-world collision-avoidance rate.
Ford Bronco Sport Recall and Safety-Exposure Statistics
NHTSA recall 25V343 potentially involved 1,575 2025 Bronco Sport vehicles. The count is a potentially involved population, not a count of confirmed failures.
The recall production range runs from March 7, 2024 through May 7, 2025. It covers vehicles with 1.5L or 2.0L Modular Power Cylinder engines and an engine block heater.
The NHTSA Part 573 Safety Recall Report 25V343 describes the relevant exposure as conditional on the block heater being plugged in. Accordingly, the recall population should not be read as evidence that every listed vehicle experienced the hazard or that all Bronco Sport vehicles were covered.
