The Ford Bronco Sport has already built a reputation as a rugged yet versatile crossover, and the 2025 model year refresh only strengthened its appeal. With updates like a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system, and the debut of the Sasquatch Package for enhanced off-road performance, the Bronco Sport continues to bridge the gap between everyday comfort and adventure-ready capability.

Looking ahead, the next refresh for the Bronco Sport is reportedly on track for 2028, and it may come with an exciting addition: a hybrid powertrain. With the Ford Escape scheduled to be discontinued in 2026, the Bronco Sport will take on even greater importance in Ford’s lineup. Adding a hybrid option would not only boost efficiency but also broaden the Bronco Sport’s appeal to eco-conscious drivers who still want rugged capability.

While a full redesign for the Bronco Sport isn’t expected until closer to the end of the decade, Ford has already confirmed that all vehicles in its Blue division will gain at least one hybrid powertrain by 2030. This makes it very likely that the 2028 Bronco Sport refresh will deliver on that promise. A hybrid Bronco Sport could give drivers more options for fuel efficiency and performance while maintaining the off-road spirit that defines the model.

In the meantime, the 2025 Bronco Sport remains an impressive choice. Its Sasquatch Package enhances trail performance with 29-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires, a new Rally GOAT drive mode, Bilstein rear shocks, and a reinforced suspension that increases ride height. Coupled with modern technology and driver-assist features like Ford’s 360-Degree Camera with Trail View, the Bronco Sport proves that it’s ready for both today’s drivers and tomorrow’s innovations.
