The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend 4WD brings trail-inspired styling, smart modular utility, and dedicated all-terrain traction mechanics to the Canadian compact crossover segment.Mechanical: Turbocharged Intercooled Power and G.O.A.T. ModesUnder the muscular, retro-blocked hood sits a responsive 1.5L EcoBoost Turbocharged 3-cylinder engine featuring Direct Injection. Generating a capable 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of low-end torque, this punchy powerplant operates in absolute sync with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Unwavering traction through changing seasonal road conditions comes standard via a factory-equipped Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system and a high-performance off-road stability suspension setup. Managed entirely by Ford’s unique Terrain Management System with 5 G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain)—including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand—this mechanical layout confidently matches torque delivery over loose gravel or ice.Safety: Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 ShieldDrive with absolute peace of mind knowing your passengers are constantly guarded by a high-strength chassis network and standard AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC). The Big Bend model rolls off the factory floor lined with the Ford Co-Pilot360 active safety framework, deploying advanced radar scanning for Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and a Lane-Keeping System. Highway travel and tight city lane transitions are made entirely stress-free thanks to a standard Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert and a high-resolution rear view backup camera.Technology: Intuitive SYNC 3 Connected TheaterThe driver-focused, safari-style cockpit centers vehicle multimedia controls within a clean, ergonomic layout to minimize road distractions.
