Future Ford of Sacramento presents a comparison: 2026 Ford Bronco vs 2025 Bronco
Future Ford of Sacramento is excited to spotlight the legendary Ford Bronco with a look at how the 2025 Ford Bronco stacks up against the 2026 Ford Bronco. Built on the same adventure-first foundation, both model years deliver the rugged capability, open-air freedom, and trail-ready engineering that have made the Bronco an icon among off-road enthusiasts. The 2025 Ford Bronco makes a strong case for itself with a versatile lineup of powertrains, starting with the standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and stepping up to the available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, which produces 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. For ultimate performance, the Bronco Raptor reigns supreme with its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 generating an impressive 418 horsepower. With seven distinct trims, from Big Bend to the extreme Raptor, plus two-door and four-door body styles, removable doors and roof panels, and multiple top configurations, the 2025 Bronco offers exceptional customization for drivers across Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Folsom. The 2026 Ford Bronco builds directly on this proven formula. While its core engine lineup and off-road hardware carry over, the 2026 model focuses on refinements and updates, including expanded technology features, updated trim packaging, and subtle design and capability enhancements aimed at improving everyday usability without sacrificing trail performance. Future Ford of Sacramento is here to help you compare both model years, explore all available trims, and review engine specs and performance details. When you’re ready, visit our dealership in Sacramento, where the Ford Bronco is for sale at a price you’ll love, and experience this iconic SUV firsthand with a test drive.Engine Specs and Performance Comparison
For 2025, the Bronco starts with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. This engine is available with either a seven-speed manual transmission, which includes an exclusive crawler gear for precise low-speed control on technical terrain, or a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, responsive power on-road and off. Drivers looking for more muscle can opt for the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, which boosts output to 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque and comes paired exclusively with the 10-speed automatic. At the top of the performance spectrum, the Bronco Raptor stands apart with its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6, generating an exhilarating 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Designed for high-speed off-road dominance, the Raptor features a reinforced chassis, widened track, and advanced long-travel suspension that allow it to thrive in extreme desert and trail conditions. The 2026 Ford Bronco carries over this proven engine lineup and off-road hardware, maintaining the same impressive power figures and standard four-wheel-drive system across all trims. Where the 2026 model distinguishes itself is in refinement, offering updated technology integrations, improved feature availability, and streamlined trim configurations while preserving the same trail-rated performance Bronco owners expect. Off-road tools such as Trail Turn Assist, which tightens the turning radius on narrow trails, and Trail One-Pedal Drive, which enables precise throttle and braking control with a single pedal, remain key highlights for both model years. Fuel economy for the 2025 Bronco varies by engine and trim, typically ranging from 15–20 mpg city and 16–21 mpg highway, and the 2026 Bronco delivers similar efficiency figures thanks to its carryover powertrains.
Interior Review
Inside the 2025 Bronco, you’ll find a rugged, easy-to-clean cabin designed with off-road use in mind. Durable materials, available marine-grade vinyl seating, rubberized flooring with drain plugs, and exposed fasteners reinforce its trail-ready character. At the same time, the Bronco balances toughness with tech, featuring Ford SYNC 4, a centrally mounted touchscreen (up to 12 inches on higher trims), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available digital instrument cluster. Thoughtful details like grab handles, configurable accessory mounting points, and switchgear designed for glove-friendly use make the interior both functional and intuitive. Higher trims add comfort-focused upgrades such as heated seats, dual-zone climate control, a premium B&O sound system, and leather-trimmed seating. The 2026 Ford Bronco builds directly on this interior formula, retaining the same bold, adventure-first design while introducing subtle refinements and updated feature availability. Materials feel more polished in select trims, technology integration is more seamless, and option packaging is streamlined to make it easier for buyers to get the features they want. While the overall layout and rugged personality remain familiar, the 2026 Bronco places a stronger emphasis on daily-drive comfort without sacrificing its hose-out-ready toughness or open-air flexibility.Trim Offering
Similar to the 2025 lineup, the 2026 Ford Bronco continues to deliver one of the most versatile and adventure-focused trim lineups in the segment. The Bronco is available in your price range in seven trims: Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor, giving drivers a wide range of options. Body styles vary by trim, with the Base and Badlands offered in two-door or four-door configurations, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Raptor available as four-door models, and the Stroppe Edition remaining an exclusive two-door model. The Base trim provides a strong foundation with 16-inch wheels, LED lighting, a soft top, tow hooks, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Ford Co-Pilot360 safety technologies. Moving up to the Big Bend adds everyday comfort and convenience features such as remote start, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Buyers can further customize the Big Bend with available Free Wheeling, Sasquatch, or Black Diamond packages to boost style or off-road performance. The Outer Banks trim is a popular choice for its blend of refinement and capability. It adds 18-inch wheels, LED taillights, powder-coated tube steps, and heated front seats, with available upgrades that include leather upholstery, a surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. For those drawn to classic Bronco styling, the Heritage Edition stands out with its vintage-inspired two-tone exterior, Oxford White accents, exclusive plaid seating, and standard Sasquatch package, combining retro looks with serious trail hardware. The Badlands trim is purpose-built for off-road enthusiasts, featuring seven G.O.A.T. modes, 33-inch tires, a unique off-road suspension, front stabilizer bar disconnect, and marine-grade vinyl seating with washout flooring for easy cleanup after rugged adventures. The limited Stroppe Edition pays tribute to the legendary Baja Bronco and is offered only as a two-door model. It comes equipped with FOX shocks, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, a stabilizer bar disconnect, and 35-inch tires, making it a standout for collectors and hardcore off-road fans. At the top of the lineup, the 2026 Ford Bronco Raptor delivers uncompromising performance with its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, FOX adaptive dampers, massive 37-inch tires, and an advanced HOSS suspension system, along with a dedicated Baja Mode and multiple exhaust settings for maximum performance on and off the trail.Future Ford of Sacramento
