2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend: Adventure Ready for the Gateway City

The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend is the ideal companion for those who balance a professional life in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Ladue, MO with a passion for weekend exploration. Whether you are navigating the morning commute or heading out for a Saturday morning hike, this SUV brings a sense of purpose to every drive. Its compact footprint makes it a breeze to park near the boutique shops of Maplewood, MO, while its rugged DNA ensures you are always ready for the road ahead. This is a vehicle designed for the active St. Louisan who demands versatility without sacrificing style or modern convenience.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend is powered by an efficient yet energetic EcoBoost 1.5L I-3 engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant features port and direct injection along with Ti-VCT variable valve control to deliver 181HP. Paired with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, the Bronco Sport provides a responsive driving experience whether you are merging onto the highway in Chesterfield, MO or navigating local suburban routes.

The standard Four Wheel Drive system is bolstered by a Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), allowing you to select the appropriate drivetrain setting for the conditions at hand. An aluminum engine block and transverse mounting contribute to a balanced weight distribution, while the independent front strut suspension and short and long arm rear suspension ensure a composed ride over uneven pavement. For those concerned with efficiency during city driving, the Auto stop-start engine helps conserve fuel during long lights, contributing to an EPA-estimated 25 city and 28 highway MPG. The mechanical suite is rounded out by an electronic transfer case shift and gas-pressurized shock absorbers, providing the hardware necessary for confident travel regardless of the weather.

Technology & Connectivity

The modern cabin is anchored by an 8-inch primary display touchscreen, serving as the command center for the SYNC 3 Communications & Entertainment System. This intuitive interface features Smart device integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to mirror your favorite navigation and music apps directly onto the screen. Staying connected is effortless thanks to Bluetooth® hands-free wireless device connectivity and wireless streaming for your audio library.

In the first row, you will find two display screens including a SmartGauge with EcoGuide, which provides real-time ECO feedback to help you optimize your driving habits. The Bronco Sport is equipped with 4 USB ports to keep everyones devices charged, and voice-activated audio controls ensure you can change the station or make a call without taking your eyes off the road. For those who enjoy a curated soundtrack for their drive through the rolling hills of the region, the steering wheel mounted audio controls provide easy access to the 6-speaker sound system and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Comfort & Interior

Inside, the Big Bend trim features Ebony Black Unique Cloth upholstery that is as durable as it is comfortable. The front bucket seats include a 6-way directional control for the driver and 4-way for the passenger, ensuring a tailored fit for long journeys. The interior environment is managed by automatic climate control with voice-activated capabilities, complemented by rear under-seat climate control ducts to keep passengers in the back comfortable.

Practicality is a hallmark of this cabin, featuring a vinyl/rubber cargo area floor that is easy to clean after a day at the park. The 60-40 folding rear seats provide flexible storage options, while the cargo area concealed storage and tie-downs help secure your gear. Thoughtful touches like metal-look interior accents, a front seat center armrest, and 12V power outlets add a layer of convenience to your daily routine. Access is made simple with Intelligent Access and push-button start, allowing you to keep the key fob in your pocket while you load groceries or gear through the liftgate rear cargo door with its unique flip-up rear windshield.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend, which comes equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver assistance technologies. This includes a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Cross-Traffic Alert to help you navigate busy parking lots and highway lane changes with confidence. The Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) provide an extra layer of protection by monitoring the road ahead for potential hazards.

The vehicle is engineered with a comprehensive 7-airbag system, including a driver side knee airbag and the Safety Canopy System curtain airbags for both rows. For added peace of mind, the Lane Keeping Alert helps you stay centered in your lane, while the Driver Alert monitor can detect signs of fatigue. The rear camera includes a dedicated washer to ensure a clear view even after driving through rain or mud, and the automatic post-collision braking system helps reduce the severity of a secondary impact. Parents will also appreciate the manual rear child safety door locks and the MyKey system, which allows for restricted driving modes for younger drivers.

Exterior & Design

Dressed in a sophisticated Alto Blue Metallic TC, this Bronco Sport Big Bend stands out with its Carbonized Gray-Painted Aluminum 17-inch wheels. The exterior design is both functional and stylish, featuring active grille shutters to improve aerodynamics and a gray grille that gives the front fascia a bold, modern look. LED low and high beam projector headlights provide exceptional visibility, while LED daytime running lights and front fog lights ensure you are seen in all conditions.

The silhouette is defined by black bodyside cladding and black wheel well trim, protecting the metallic paint from road debris. Functional roof rails are ready to accept crossbars for your bikes or kayaks, making it easy to head out for a weekend of recreation. The design is finished with deep-tinted windows for privacy and a compact spare tire mounted under the cargo floor for emergencies. Every detail, from the black door handles to the manual folding power mirrors with heating elements, has been chosen to balance rugged capability with suburban refinement.
