If you are in the market for a new compact crossover, you will surely be aware of the incredibly extensive list of options you can choose from in this segment. Selecting one from this lengthy list might be challenging. But if you are looking for the best option, we at Kimber Creek Ford in Pine River, Minnesota, recommend the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. And here is a detailed article regarding the 2022 Bronco Sport’s features and specifications.
The Bronco was brought back to the market in 2021 after a long hiatus of over 25 years. Hence, Bronco Sport remains unchanged for the 2022 model year. To make it more palatable and relatable for the current market trend, Ford launched two versions of the Bronco – a mid-sized Bronco SUV and a compact crossover Bronco Sport. Both the versions carry a substantial chunk of the original Bronco’s character and design language, and this has worked positively in Ford’s favor. Ford offers four variants for the 2022 Bronco Sport. They are Base, Big Bend™, Outer Banks™, and Badlands™. The entry-level Base trim costs $27,415 MSRP* and the top-end Badlands™ costs $34,090 MSRP*.

Ford offers another 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine as well. This higher displacement engine pumps out 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. The higher-displacement engine gets paddle shifters, off-road suspension, an advanced 4x4 four-wheel-drive system with the twin-clutch rear drive unit, and Ford Trail Control™, to name a few of the components. The only variant that gets this additional powertrain is the top-end Badlands™ variant. Regardless of the engine, the Bronco Sport performs exceptionally well.
Ford has made sure to make the Bronco Sport’s interior just as practical and functional as its exterior. The panels are finished in Easily Cleanable materials. The Base Bronco Sport comes with cloth-trimmed seats with manually adjustable driver’s seats. On the other end, the Bronco Sport Badlands™ trim gets Sport Contour front bucket seats with Unique Easy-to-Clean Cloth Material along with an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and six-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat. Those looking to splash some more can opt for additional optional features like dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation system, HD Radio, 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system, and wireless device charging.
