The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport's new Sasquatch package takes its name — and its off-road attitude — from the larger Ford Bronco Sasquatch.

The Sasquatch package is the showpiece of a host of mid-cycle updates to the Bronco Sport for 2025, but it's not the only thing that's new. Here's what you need to know about the off-road-ready 2025 Bronco Sport.

Bronco Sport's Available Sasquatch Package Adds Off-Road Goods

The 2025 Bronco Sport Sasquatch package's feature set includes a big upgrade over the base version in terms of off-road-oriented equipment. Its rear Bilstein shock absorbers feature separate piggyback reservoirs that, along with taller front and rear springs, help contribute to more suspension travel for traversing rough terrain.

The Bronco Sport Sasquatch rides on Goodyear Territory all-terrain tires that measure roughly 29 inches tall, which are about 6 inches shorter than the big Bronco Sasquatch's 35-inch tires but are still quite a bit more rugged than those on the standard Bronco Sport. It also includes an electronically locking rear differential to aid traction in sticky or loose terrain.

The Sasquatch package adds to the updated look a front brush guard that sits over two front tow hooks, a revised rear bumper that houses a pair of recovery D rings, and a deployable tie-down integrated into the front fenders that can be used to help secure items to the roof rack.

The Sasquatch package is available on select versions of the Bronco Sport Outer Banks and Badlands trim levels.

Other off-road equipment is available even without the Sasquatch package. The Badlands trim level now has a Rally drive mode designed to aid performance and traction on sand.

Some versions of the Bronco Sport also now include a one-pedal mode that lets drivers use only the gas pedal to control the vehicle's speed in serious off-pavement situations where it's critical to crawl along at a snail's pace. When engaged, the system can apply the brakes automatically as the driver modulates the gas pedal.

All Bronco Sports have a new front bumper that can accommodate bolt-on accessories such as auxiliary lighting or a brush guard. The center console inside has also been revamped so users can add modular accessories such as a different grab handle or mobile device mounts.

Bronco Sport Gets a Bigger Screen Inside

All 2025 Bronco Sport models now have a 13.2-inch touchscreen that sprouts from the dash, an upgrade from last year's 8.0-inch touchscreen, and it includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, navigation, and voice controls. A new 12.3-inch instrument cluster display replaces the analog gauges flanking a 4.2-inch screen in the 2024 model.

To house those new screens, Ford revamped much of the Bronco Sport's dashboard. The central screen sits above new, horizontal air vents. Most climate and audio controls are now handled via the touchscreen, though a physical volume button for either the standard six-speaker audio system or an available 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup remains toward the bottom of the dash.

All models now include the entire Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite of features, including forward automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist. The Badlands trim level comes standard with a surround-view camera system and reverse automated emergency braking.

Bronco Sport Sticks With Turbocharged Power and Standard All-Wheel Drive

Most Bronco Sport trim levels make use of a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine provisionally rated at 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque, while the Badlands trim level at the top of the lineup swaps in a 238-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Both engines use an eight-speed automatic to deliver power to all four wheels.

With the four-cylinder, the Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,700 pounds.

At its August 2024 debut, Ford didn't reveal how much the 2025 Bronco Sport will cost when it goes on sale in November 2024.
