Ford’s 2025 Bronco update brings new features, reorganized trims, and enhanced customization options, aiming to keep the model competitive in the off-road SUV market. Notably, Ford has reintroduced the base model to widen the Bronco’s appeal, while all trims now come standard with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster—a feature previously limited to the high-end Raptor trim. This replaces the smaller 8-inch display and aligns with the 12-inch infotainment touchscreen introduced last year. Additionally, the Bronco’s audio system has been upgraded to a 12-speaker B&O system, an improvement likely to be appreciated by music enthusiasts.
Interior enhancements include new rear A/C vents on four-door models, improved sound insulation, and more ambient lighting, which collectively contribute to a more refined cabin experience. The Sasquatch package, a popular off-road option, now includes quieter 35-inch Goodyear Territory tires, a change meant to improve the Bronco’s highway performance. These updates demonstrate Ford’s commitment to balancing rugged off-road capability with everyday comfort and practicality.
Ford has also restructured the Bronco’s trim lineup for 2025. The base model, starting at $37,995, returns with classic steel wheels and minimalistic styling, catering to those seeking a simpler, more affordable Bronco. Meanwhile, the Wildtrak trim has been discontinued and replaced by the Stroppe Special Edition, positioned as a higher-end variant with more off-road focus. The Black Diamond trim has shifted to an optional package for the Big Bend trim, allowing for more flexible customization options.
The engine lineup remains unchanged but has been aligned more closely with each trim level. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 300 horsepower, is now exclusive to the Base, Big Bend, and Badlands trims. The more powerful 2.7-liter V6, generating 330 horsepower, is standard on the Stroppe and available on the Outer Banks and Heritage Edition. The top-performing Raptor trim continues to be powered by a 418-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, which remains exclusive to that variant. Transmission choices are specific to engine types, with the 2.3-liter offering both a manual and an automatic, while the V6 engines are only available with a 10-speed automatic.
In terms of aesthetics, Ford has introduced a new Black Appearance package priced at $1,395, which offers a monochromatic look with black accents on the mirror caps, door handles, fender flares, and grille, and includes white Bronco lettering and a Shadow Black hardtop. For added protection and a unique look, a new Matte Clear Film option is available for all trims except the Raptor, giving the Bronco a matte paint finish while protecting against daily road hazards. Ford has begun taking orders, with deliveries expected this winter, and updated pricing for the various trims ranges from $37,995 for the base model to $90,035 for the Raptor.
