Exterior updates for the 2026 Bronco Sport include new Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat and Space White Metallic colors. Door handles on the Outer Banks trim are now black molded-in-color instead of body color. Fender tie-downs become a standalone option with the Black Diamond Off-Road and Sasquatch packages, while the front brush guard with recovery hooks is removed from the Sasquatch Badlands Package. Adjustable flood lights are no longer standard on the liftgate, and rain-sensing wipers are dropped from Outer Banks. A Rear Recovery Kit is now available on Big Bend.
Inside, the 8-inch cluster display becomes standard on Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks, replacing the previous 12.3-inch display. The wireless charging pad and universal garage door opener are removed from all trims. The front-row center console grab handle is removed from Badlands and all packages. On the tech side, a 5G modem and the Ford Connectivity Package (one year included) are now standard on all models, while SiriusXM 360L with a three-year plan is optional. A 7-year Ford Connectivity Package is available for purchase.
