In the last post, we covered the New Bronco Sport’s 4X4 system. While all great SUVs can handle some adverse terrain, the Bronco Sport will do it better than some purpose-built and highly modified vehicles.
This post will touch on the powertrain and some actual specifications. These numbers and specs are direct from ford so there is no approximation or speculation, they are facts.

Power!
The 2021 Bronco Sport offers the performance and advanced off-road technology (which we talked about), combined with toughness, to take customers almost anywhere they want to go. Bronco Sport features a standard 1.5L EcoBoost I‑3 engine and an available 2.0L EcoBoost I‑4 engine, which produces an impressive 270 lb.‑ft. of torque (est.). Both engines are paired with an 8‑speed automatic transmission. Bronco Sport features a standard single-clutch 4×4 system or an Advanced 4×4 twin-clutch rear-drive system on Badlands models, equipping all owners with the ability to go on an adventure at a moment’s notice.
Crunch The Numbers
Horsepower 1.5L = 181 @ 6,000 rpm (single turbo)
Horsepower 2.0L = 250 @ 5,500 rpm (dual turbo
Torque 1.5L = 190 lbf @ 3,000 rpm
Torque 2.0L = 277 lbf @ 3,000 rpm
Transmission 1.5L 8-speed automatic
Transmission 2.0L 8-speed SelectShift automatic
Towing Maximum 1.5L =2,000 lbs
Towing Maximum 2.0L =2,200 lbs
The 1.5L
The 1.5L EcoBoost I‑3 includes cylinder deactivation technology. This engine is paired with the 8‑speed automatic transmission. This means the Bronco Sport disengages one cylinder under certain driving conditions with low power demands to reduce fuel use. The cylinder can go from inactive to active in 14 milliseconds and will be unnoticeable to the driver.
-Aluminum engine block and cylinder head help reduce weight to aid operating efficiency
-High-pressure die-cast aluminum block with ladder-frame bearing caps is strong, yet lightweight
-Dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), lightweight aluminum cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder
-Compression ratio of 11.1:1
-Intercooler reduces incoming air temperature to help boost performance
-Integrated exhaust manifold places the turbocharger closer to the exhaust ports for maximized responsiveness
-Balance shaft provides smooth operation at all speeds
-Split cooling system manages coolant flow during cold start, only allowing flow through the hot side of the cylinder head and integrated manifold until the coolant has reached 72° F
The 2.0L
The 2.0L EcoBoost I‑4 engine offered on Bronco Sport Badlands offers an increase in horsepower and uses a twin-scroll turbocharger, meaning there are two sources of exhaust from the engine to spin the turbine. This system reduces turbo lag and helps maintain torque output along a more consistent rpm range. This engine is paired with the 8‑speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability that includes paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
-Aluminum engine block and cylinder head help reduce weight to aid operating efficiency
-High-pressure die-cast aluminum block with ladder-frame bearing caps is strong, yet lightweight
-Cast-iron crankshaft, balance shaft, and silent chain cam drive system contribute to reduced NVH and improved durability
-Twin-scroll low-inertia single turbocharger separates the exhaust pulses for pairs of cylinders, enabling quicker turbine spin-up, equating to faster transient responsiveness and operating efficiency
-Compression ratio of 10.0:1
-Intercooler reduces incoming air temperature to help boost performance
-Split cooling system manages coolant flow during cold start, only allowing flow through the hot side of the cylinder head and integrated manifold until the coolant has reached 72° F
-Die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan
