Ford Bronco Sport in Kirkwood: Capability Without the Bulk
The Bronco Sport looks like a Bronco, but at just over 173 inches long in 1.5L form, its footprint stays manageable for everyday parking. It seats five, and every trim comes standard with 4x4.
Why the Bronco Sport fits Kirkwood driving
The Bronco Sport is easy to place downtown and along Kirkwood's neighborhood streets. Its upright body still leaves usable room for passengers and cargo.
On 2026 configurations with the 1.5L EcoBoost and without the Sasquatch package, Ford lists up to 32.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and 65.2 cubic feet with those seats folded. Cargo capacity drops with the 2.0L engine or Sasquatch equipment, so the exact configuration matters when maximum space is a priority.

5G.O.A.T. Modes on Big Bend, Heritage & Outer Banks
Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks pair that standard 4x4 with five selectable G.O.A.T. Modes, including Slippery and Off-Road, which covers what a Kirkwood winter actually throws at you.
Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands each have a clear role
Starting Point
Big Bend
The straightforward starting point. The 1.5L EcoBoost, standard 4x4, five G.O.A.T. Modes and a 13.2-inch center display give you the core Bronco Sport without piling on upgrades.
Throwback Style
Heritage
The same 1.5L foundation with much more personality. Oxford White wheels, roof and grille details, red BRONCO lettering, Heritage graphics and plaid seating give it a genuine throwback look, and all-terrain tires come along with it.
Everyday Comfort
Outer Banks
The comfortable one. A heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and an 8-way power driver's seat with memory are upgrades you notice during ordinary driving. Available Sasquatch equipment can add off-road hardware on top of that.
Trail-Ready
Badlands
The mechanical outlier. Its 2.0L EcoBoost produces 250 horsepower against 180 from the 1.5L, and it moves to advanced 4x4 with a twin-clutch rear drive unit and seven G.O.A.T. Modes, including Rock Crawl and Rally. A standard Class II Trailer Tow Package allows up to 2,700 pounds of towing when properly equipped.
Sasquatch equipment is the single option that changes the Bronco Sport most. It adds off-road hardware and reduces cargo room at the same time, so make the Sasquatch decision with the trim. If you spend real weekends on trails or gravel, Badlands is the one to pick. If your weeks are mostly Kirkwood errands and highway miles, Heritage styling or Outer Banks comfort may be the version you enjoy more.
