2025 Bronco Sport

The technology refresh and Sasquatch arrival

The 2025 Bronco Sport made SYNC 4, a 13.2-inch touchscreen and Co-Pilot360+ standard, then brought the Sasquatch package to Outer Banks and Badlands.

This U.S.-market page covers Bronco Sport, not the body-on-frame Bronco. The 2025 mid-cycle update modernized the cabin interface and expanded trail hardware without changing the C2 unibody foundation. Sasquatch was not one identical package: Outer Banks retained the 1.5-liter engine, while Badlands retained the 2.0-liter engine and each used series-specific equipment.

Why it matters

2025 was Bronco Sport's largest update since launch, combining a new infotainment baseline with the first use of the Sasquatch name on the compact crossover.

What this page covers

Market: United States; Bronco Sport peer family, distinct from the 2025 body-on-frame Bronco.

Body styles: Five-door unibody compact crossover with standard 4x4

What changed for this year

SYNC 4 and 13.2-inch screen standard
Ford's 2025 order guide and launch coverage place SYNC 4 with a 13.2-inch center touchscreen across the range, replacing the earlier 8-inch SYNC 3 setup. [1] [2] [3]
Co-Pilot360+ standard
The update made Ford Co-Pilot360+ standard. Feature behavior and availability still depend on sensors, software and equipment, so the brand name is not a substitute for checking the window sticker and manual. [1] [2]

Models and trims

Five-series range
Big Bend, Heritage, Free Wheeling, Outer Banks and Badlands continued for 2025. Sasquatch was a package on two series, not a standalone trim. [1] [2]

Engines and transmissions

1.5-liter EcoBoost series
Big Bend, Heritage, Free Wheeling and Outer Banks used the turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and eight-speed automatic; Outer Banks could add Sasquatch without changing to the 2.0-liter engine. [1] [2] [3]
2.0-liter EcoBoost Badlands
Badlands retained the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, eight-speed automatic and advanced 4x4 hardware, with its own Sasquatch package. [1] [2] [3]

Capability and specifications

Reported 2025 U.S. sales: 134,493
Ford-based reporting and GoodCarBadCar both report 134,493 U.S. sales for calendar 2025. Agreement does not turn sales into model-year production. [4] [5]
Sasquatch hardware
Coverage identifies a twin-clutch rear-drive unit, HOSS 3.0 suspension with Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, steel bumpers and added trail hardware. Exact content differs between Outer Banks and Badlands and must follow the order guide. [1] [2] [3]

Colors and interiors

Updated interface, configuration-dependent cabin
The wide center screen is the visible cabin change, but cluster, upholstery, accents and comfort features vary by series and package. A complete color/interior matrix remains tied to the factory guide. [1] [2]

Options and packages

Two Sasquatch applications
Sasquatch was available on 1.5-liter Outer Banks and 2.0-liter Badlands. The shared package name should not be used to infer identical engines or every hardware detail. [1] [2] [3]

Safety and recalls

Check campaigns by VIN
A 2026-09-10 NHTSA API snapshot returned seven Ford-filed campaigns for a 2025 Bronco Sport query. Counts and applicability change; use the live VIN lookup. [6]
Driver assistance requires attention
Co-Pilot360+ does not replace an attentive driver. Keep cameras and sensors clean, understand system limits, verify warnings and confirm software/recall status. [1] [6]

Owner and buyer notes

Confirm Sasquatch series before buying parts
Outer Banks and Badlands Sasquatch models use different engines and series foundations. Verify VIN, equipment group, suspension, bumpers and rear-drive hardware. [1] [2] [3]
Screen size identifies the refresh, not every option
The standard 13.2-inch display separates the updated cabin from 2021-2024, but it does not prove trim, drivetrain or Sasquatch content. [1] [2]

Stories from this year

The big Bronco's package name moved down-market
Sasquatch had become shorthand for Bronco trail hardware. Applying it to Bronco Sport in 2025 connected the family while preserving the Sport's unibody chassis and two distinct engine paths. [1] [2] [3]
A screen changed every trim
Unlike a special edition limited to one series, the SYNC 4 and 13.2-inch-display update changed the daily interface across the whole lineup. [1] [2]
