2025 Ford Bronco Receives Tech and Style Upgrades
The 2025 Ford Bronco arrives with a host of updates aimed at enhancing both its on-road comfort and off-road prowess. With new standard technology features, refined interior comforts, and additional style packages, the latest Bronco continues to offer rugged capability while catering to the modern driver's needs.
New Standard Features Enhance Tech and Comfort
The 2025 Ford Bronco steps up its game with new standard features across all trims. Taking cues from the Bronco Raptor, every model now comes equipped with a 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster, replacing the previous analog setup. This vibrant display offers customizable graphics and detailed animations for each of the Bronco's G.O.A.T. (Go Over Any Terrain) modes, providing drivers with an engaging and informative cockpit experience.
Passengers in the four-door Bronco models will appreciate the addition of dedicated rear air vents, enhancing comfort for those in the back seats. Ford has also improved cabin quietness by incorporating additional sound insulation, making for a more pleasant ride on both highways and trails. Moreover, increased interior lighting adds to the overall refinement, ensuring that the 2025 Bronco is as comfortable as it is capable.
Stylish Options Expand with New Packages
For those looking to personalize their 2025 Ford Bronco, new style packages offer fresh opportunities. The introduction of the Black Appearance package provides a sleek, stealthy look for drivers who prefer a more understated aesthetic. This package includes a Shadow Black painted hardtop, black grille with white "BRONCO" lettering, and black molded-in-color accents on mirror caps, door handles, and fender flares. Sasquatch-equipped models enhance the look with gloss-black painted aluminum wheels featuring a black beadlock ring.
Building on the success of heritage-inspired trims, the 2025 Bronco continues to offer the Free Wheeling package and the Stroppe Special Edition. The Free Wheeling edition brings back the vibrant graphics and colorful accents reminiscent of the late 1970s and early 1980s Broncos, while the Stroppe Special Edition pays homage to the legendary desert racing Broncos engineered by Bill Stroppe. These editions provide unique styling and performance enhancements that celebrate the Bronco's rich history.
Matte Clear Film Option Protects and Adds Style
New for 2025, Ford introduces an available factory-installed Matte Clear Film option for the Bronco. This durable film not only imparts a stylish matte finish to any of the Bronco's paint colors but also offers protection against everyday hazards like road salt, bug splatter, and asphalt residue. It's a practical addition for drivers who frequently venture off-road or simply desire an extra layer of paint protection.
Upgraded Off-Road Capability
The 2025 Bronco continues to prioritize off-road performance. Models equipped with the Sasquatch package now come with new 35-inch Goodyear Territory rugged terrain tires. These tires are designed to reduce road noise at highway speeds compared to the previous mud-terrain tires while maintaining exceptional off-road traction. Additionally, the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 3.0 system is standard on certain trims, providing improved handling and ride quality over rough terrain.
The Bronco offers a choice of engines, including the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four producing up to 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and the more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 delivering 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Paired with either a seven-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission, these engines provide ample power for both daily driving and off-road adventures.
Return of the Base Trim and Other Lineup Changes
After a brief hiatus, the Base trim returns to the Bronco lineup for 2025, offering an entry point for enthusiasts who prefer to customize their vehicles from the ground up. Additionally, the Black Diamond trim transitions into a package available on the Big Bend model, streamlining the trim lineup while still providing popular features and options.
Enhanced Infotainment and Audio Experience
Ford has not overlooked the Bronco's entertainment features. The 2025 model introduces an upgraded 12-speaker B&O audio system, replacing the previous 10-speaker setup. This enhanced system includes improved speakers, a new subwoofer, and a higher-output amplifier, delivering a richer sound experience for occupants.
Expected Pricing and Availability
Order banks for the 2025 Ford Bronco are now open, and the build-and-price tool is live on Ford's website, allowing customers to configure their ideal Bronco. While official pricing has not been announced, it's expected that the base model will start around $33,000, with higher trims and special editions commanding premium prices. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the winter, enabling eager buyers to get behind the wheel of the latest Bronco soon.
A Nod to Heritage: Free Wheeling and Stroppe Special Editions
The 2025 Ford Bronco Free Wheeling edition brings back the bold, colorful graphics that adorned Ford models in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With vivid red, orange, and yellow gradient stripes and unique interior accents, this package offers a nostalgic tribute combined with modern features. Based on the Big Bend trim and including the Sasquatch package, the Free Wheeling edition is both stylish and off-road capable.
Similarly, the Bronco Stroppe Special Edition honors the legacy of Bill Stroppe, the mastermind behind the original desert racing Broncos. This two-door special edition features exclusive Code Orange and Oxford White paint, a white grille with Code Orange "BRONCO" lettering, and performance upgrades tailored for high-speed desert driving. Equipped with the EcoBoost 2.7-liter V6 engine and advanced off-road suspension components, this model embodies the spirit of the Baja-winning Broncos of the past.
Bronco's Future Looks Bright with Enhanced Features
The 2025 Ford Bronco demonstrates Ford's commitment to continually evolving its iconic off-road SUV. With significant enhancements in technology, comfort, and style, along with the return of heritage-inspired editions, the latest Bronco offers more choices than ever for enthusiasts. Whether venturing off the beaten path or cruising city streets, the Bronco's blend of capability and modern amenities ensures it remains a compelling choice in the competitive SUV market.
