View New Bronco Sport Trims The G.O.A.T. Mentality: Performance on Every Terrain The 'Goes Over Any Type of Terrain' (G.O.A.T.) modes are the brain behind the brawn. Whether you're dealing with a sudden Ohio spring downpour or a snowy climb, these modes optimize throttle response and traction to keep you moving. The Badlands trim pushes this further with exclusive Rock Crawl and Rally modes, turning the Bronco Sport into a precision instrument for the dirt. Under the hood, you have two distinct choices of EcoBoost power. While the 1.5L offers fantastic efficiency for daily driving, the 2.0L in the Badlands delivers a stout 250 horsepower for those who want more muscle.

While every trim is capable, the Badlands features a twin-clutch rear drive unit. This allows the vehicle to send torque to a single rear wheel even if the other has zero traction. It’s the kind of technical advantage that gives you peace of mind when the trail gets technical. Take a look at how the 4x4 systems vary across the 2026 lineup. The Badlands is purpose-built for the most demanding technical trails. Feature Big Bend / Heritage / OBX Badlands 4x4 System Standard 4WD Advanced 4x4 w/ Twin-Clutch G.O.A.T.
