The Ford Bronco has returned to reclaim its throne as one of America’s most capable and iconic off-road vehicles. The 2026 model year brings refinements to an already impressive package, continuing its mission as a rugged, go-anywhere SUV. This body-on-frame SUV comes in both two-door and four-door configurations. Ford Bronco defining features include removable doors and roof panels. One thing is for sure: the 2026 Ford Bronco allows drivers to experience the ultimate open-air freedom on any trail.

2026 Ford Bronco Overview

Ford offers seven distinct trim levels for 2026: Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor. Each trim brings its own personality, from the value-focused Base to the extreme performance of the Raptor. The 2026 Ford Bronco model year introduces the 60th Anniversary Package for the Outer Banks trim. This is in celebration of six decades of Bronco heritage with exclusive styling touches and premium materials. Another significant change for the 2026 Ford Bronco is that the Stroppe Edition has evolved from a two-door to a four-door configuration, offering more passenger space while maintaining its desert-racing inspired design. This means the two-door configuration is now limited to Base and Badlands trims. Regardless, Ford Bronco remains true to its roots with standard four-wheel drive across all models, cowl-mounted side mirrors, and ground clearance ranging from 8.3 inches up to 13.1 inches.

Turbocharged Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Bronco offers three turbocharged engine options. The standard powerplant is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 275 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque on regular gasoline. When you fill it with premium fuel, those numbers jump to 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes standard on Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Edition trims. For those wanting more muscle, the available 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 delivers 315 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque on regular gas, or 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft on premium fuel. At the top of the performance ladder sits the Raptor. It’s equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that produces a robust 418 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. 

Transmission choices include a seven-speed manual with crawler gear available with the 2.3-liter engine. The 10-speed automatic transmission is optional with the four-cylinder and standard with both V6 engines. All 2026 Ford Broncos feature a two-speed transfer case and part-time four-wheel drive, with advanced systems.

Off-Road MPG

Fuel economy in the 2026 Ford Bronco reflects its off-road focus and boxy aerodynamics. With the 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, expect EPA estimates of 18 mpg city and 20 to 22 mpg highway, depending on configuration. The manual transmission brings highway mileage down slightly to around 19 mpg. The 2.7-liter V6 delivers 17 to 19 mpg in the city and 18 to 21 mpg on the highway. The range-topping Raptor, with its powerful 3.0-liter V6 and performance-oriented setup, achieves 15 mpg city and 16 mpg highway.

Typical Top Speeds 

The 2026 Ford Bronco 0-60 mph times vary by engine, with the 2.7L V6 reaching 60 mph in approximately 6.6 to 8.4 seconds. In testing, the base 2026 Ford Bronco with the 2.3-liter engine accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 to 7.9 seconds. More powerful variants deliver even quicker acceleration. The performance-focused Raptor variant achieves 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds.

An Increasingly Luxurious Interior

The 2026 Ford Bronco cabin is designed for adventure, featuring materials that can withstand mud, water, and the elements. Base models come with easy-to-clean cloth bucket seats and rubberized flooring that makes cleanup after a trail ride simple. As you move up the trim ladder, comfort and luxury increase significantly. Outer Banks trims feature leather-trimmed seats, while the Badlands offers leather-trimmed heated front seats with added breathability. Heritage Editions bring a retro vibe with vintage-style plaid cloth bucket seats that embrace classic Bronco spirit. The 60th Anniversary Package adds Alpine leather seating with Bronco Red accents and special anniversary badging throughout the cabin.

Cargo space is generous, particularly in four-door models. Two-door Broncos offer up to 52 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. Four-door models with a hard top provide 72.8 to 77.6 cubic feet, while soft-top equipped four-doors max out at an impressive 83 cubic feet. The rear swing gate opens up to 150 degrees for easy access to gear.

New in Technology: Connectivity Package

The 2026 Ford Bronco comes well-equipped with modern technology while maintaining a focus on off-road functionality. Every model features a standard 12-inch touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster is also standard, providing customizable displays that show everything from trail information to navigation directions. The system includes up to seven G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) depending on your trim level.

These modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Baja, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl, each optimizing the vehicle’s systems for specific terrain types. For 2026, Ford has introduced the Connectivity Package, which includes a one-year subscription to unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot service supporting up to 10 devices, Connected Navigation, voice assistant capabilities, and even YouTube streaming while parked. The FordPass app allows remote start/stop, vehicle location tracking, and the ability to earn Ford Points toward service and accessories.

Audio options include:

– Standard seven-speaker audio system on base models

– Available premium 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen system with subwoofer for exceptional sound quality

This comprehensive package provides peace of mind both on the highway and off the beaten path. Off-road specific safety features include the advanced Terrain Management System that optimizes traction control, four-wheel drive engagement, throttle response, and transmission behavior for different surfaces. The robust body-on-frame construction provides excellent crash protection.
