Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands form the later 2025 lineup. Earlier 2025 Free Wheeling vehicles are also part of the used-vehicle picture. All have standard 4×4, but the engines and capability hardware differ. Browse current inventory, then use the detailed 2025 guide below; the separate 2024 tab remains a historical reference.
The model year changed during production. Ford’s July 2025 order guide lists Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands, and records the deletion of Free Wheeling in a later production update. An earlier 2025 Free Wheeling can still be a valid used vehicle.
Match the VIN, original window sticker and production information before treating two lists as interchangeable. This guide separates that historical variation from current local availability; it does not establish that a specific 2025 configuration is on the lot or available to order.
The later-production configurations below all use an eight-speed automatic. The engine and mechanical differences matter more than assuming that each trim simply adds every feature from the preceding row.
| Trim | Engine and drivetrain | Selected equipment distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Big Bend | 1.5L EcoBoost; standard 4×4. | Cloth seating and manual front-seat adjustment; optional convenience and Black Diamond equipment. |
| Heritage | 1.5L EcoBoost; standard 4×4. | Oxford White roof/wheels and plaid-cloth interior treatment. |
| Outer Banks | 1.5L EcoBoost; standard 4×4. | Heated front seats, heated steering wheel, power front-seat adjustment and driver memory. |
| Badlands | 2.0L EcoBoost; advanced 4×4 with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit. | HOSS 2.0 suspension, additional underbody protection and standard 360-degree camera equipment. |
Heritage changes the visual character with its white exterior accents and plaid interior. That appearance is not the same upgrade as the mechanical equipment on Badlands. Compare how much you value the design against any optional convenience features on the actual vehicles.
Ford lists a Convenience Package for eligible Big Bend and Heritage configurations, adding items such as heated front seats and power driver adjustment. If those features are essential, verify the package rather than relying on photographs or a broad trim description. For an earlier Free Wheeling, use its original build sheet to identify the complete equipment.
Outer Banks adds everyday conveniences such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, driver memory and dual-zone automatic temperature control. Its standard powertrain remains the 1.5L EcoBoost.
Badlands uses the 2.0L engine and additional drivetrain, suspension and protection hardware. It also includes a 360-degree camera with trail and split views in Ford’s 2025 equipment list. Those differences are useful when the intended driving calls for them, but should be assessed alongside normal-road ride, seat comfort and passenger needs.
For 2025, Ford offers different Sasquatch packages on eligible Outer Banks and Badlands vehicles. They are optional packages, not separate trims and not standard on every Bronco Sport.
| Configuration | Important additions | Dependency or distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Outer Banks Sasquatch, 67A | Advanced 4×4 with twin-clutch rear-drive unit, HOSS 2.0 suspension, additional protection and trail hardware. | Requires the Outer Banks Tech Package, 96T. The engine remains the 1.5L EcoBoost. |
| Badlands Sasquatch, 67B | HOSS 3.0 suspension with rear Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, additional cooling and package-specific hardware. | Builds on the Badlands 2.0L/advanced-4×4 configuration; it is different from Outer Banks Sasquatch. |
The 2025 refresh introduced a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 center touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument display. Those are two different displays. Ford also lists wireless phone charging for 2025; later-year equipment should not be substituted for this historical reference.
Camera and audio upgrades still vary. Outer Banks Tech Package adds the 360-degree camera and other assistance/audio features; Badlands has separate standard camera equipment and an optional Tech Package. Ask for a demonstration of the actual system and confirm present subscription eligibility where a connected service is involved. For the broader changes, see the 2025 Bronco Sport refresh guide.
Try rear-seat access, the liftgate and the cargo you regularly carry with the required seats upright. Compare tire condition and the ride on an ordinary road as well as the capability equipment you want. Follow the owner’s manual when using trail systems; a package badge is not permission to exceed vehicle limits.
For a used vehicle, review maintenance, modifications, damage history and the original equipment list. If towing is part of the purchase, identify the powertrain, installed tow equipment and actual vehicle limits. If the listing is a 2026 model, use the 2026 Bronco Sport trim guide because the driver-display and charging equipment changed.
Yes. Ford’s later 2025 order guide records Free Wheeling as deleted in a production update. An earlier vehicle should be evaluated using its original build information, not dismissed because a later guide lists four trims.
No. The 2025 Outer Banks retains the 1.5L EcoBoost with its Sasquatch package. Badlands uses the 2.0L EcoBoost.
Yes. Standard 4×4 does not mean identical rear-drive hardware, suspension, protection, tires or trail functions across all trims and packages.
