2027 BRONCO SPORT BIG BEND
Big Bend: the everyday all-arounder
Big Bend is still the logical starting point for the Bronco Sport lineup. It gives buyers the rugged design, standard 4x4 and practical packaging that make Bronco Sport appealing without forcing them into premium or specialized off-road equipment.
Current 2027 specifications list the 1.5L EcoBoost at 181 horsepower and 190 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic.
Big Bend also becomes an especially flexible trim because Ford offers several different ways to change its personality, including Black Diamond off-road equipment, Bronze appearance content and a new Black Appearance Package.

Oxford White exterior details, distinctive wheels and plaid cloth seating give Heritage a much stronger visual connection to the original Bronco than the rest of the lineup.

Outer Banks: the comfortable Bronco Sport
Outer Banks takes the Bronco Sport formula in a more refined direction. It retains the 1.5L EcoBoost and standard 4x4 but focuses more heavily on premium interior materials, comfort and appearance.
For 2027, buyers also get more ways to personalize Outer Banks. A Black Appearance Package joins the package list, while the available Sasquatch Outer Banks Package remains the answer for someone who wants premium daily-driver comfort with significantly stronger off-road hardware.

2027 BRONCO SPORT BADLANDS
Badlands: the one built for the trail
Badlands remains the mechanical outlier in the Bronco Sport lineup. The 1.5L EcoBoost is replaced by a 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 250 horsepower and a currently published 277 lb.-ft. of torque.
More important than the engine alone is the drivetrain. Advanced 4x4 and a twin-clutch rear drive unit allow Badlands to distribute power more aggressively when terrain gets difficult.
Badlands also remains the natural starting point for buyers who want the Sasquatch package and the most aggressive factory Bronco Sport setup available.

Engine differences
1.5L EcoBoost or 2.0L EcoBoost?
The engine decision remains simple for 2027: Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks use the 1.5L EcoBoost, while Badlands gets the larger and more powerful 2.0L.
1.5L EcoBoost
The standard Bronco Sport engine is designed around everyday efficiency, compact-SUV drivability and standard four-wheel-drive traction.
181 horsepower190 lb.-ft. of torque8-speed automaticStandard 4x4Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks2.0L EcoBoost
Badlands trades some efficiency for substantially more power and pairs that engine with the most capable drivetrain hardware in the lineup.

Sasquatch packages
Outer Banks or Badlands isn't the end of the decision
The available Sasquatch packages let Bronco Sport buyers add another level of factory off-road equipment to Outer Banks or Badlands.
Outer Banks Sasquatch is especially interesting because it adds Advanced 4x4, a twin-clutch rear drive unit, HOSS 2.0 off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, recovery hardware and underbody protection to a trim that starts from a more comfort-focused position.
Badlands Sasquatch starts with the stronger 2.0L engine and already-capable Badlands foundation, then pushes the vehicle farther toward serious trail use.
- ✓Sasquatch Outer Banks: comfort plus major off-road hardware
- ✓Advanced 4x4 and twin-clutch rear drive unit on Outer Banks Sasquatch
- ✓HOSS 2.0 Off-Road Suspension
- ✓Underbody protection and recovery hardware
- ✓Sasquatch Badlands: the most aggressive factory Bronco Sport configuration

The common comparison
Big Bend vs. Outer Banks: is the upgrade worth it?
Mechanically, the standard versions remain closely related. Both use the 1.5L EcoBoost, an 8-speed automatic and standard 4x4.
The reason to move to Outer Banks is refinement. Interior materials, comfort equipment, appearance details and available premium technology make it better suited to someone who spends most of the week commuting but still wants Bronco Sport personality on the weekend.
If those features matter every day, Outer Banks can justify the upgrade. If your priorities are standard 4x4, useful cargo space and value, Big Bend remains the smarter starting point.
Comfort vs. capability
Outer Banks vs. Badlands: the biggest decision in the lineup
These two trims are aimed at different buyers.
Outer Banks puts more emphasis on interior comfort, premium technology and daily-driving refinement. Badlands puts more of its money into the powertrain, drivetrain and trail hardware.
Badlands gives you 250 horsepower, Advanced 4x4 and the twin-clutch rear drive unit. Outer Banks gives you the more refined everyday experience.
There is also a third answer: Outer Banks Sasquatch combines much of the premium Outer Banks personality with dramatically stronger off-road capability.
