Retro Styling Built for Calcutta’s Hills and River Trails
The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport Heritage captures attention with a vintage aesthetic that feels right at home against the backdrop of the Ohio River. This trim is defined by its Oxford White-painted roof and matching grille, which features Oxford White “BRONCO” lettering. These retro cues pay homage to the original 1966 design while sitting on a modern chassis measuring 173.1 inches in length and 70.4 inches in height. For local families in Calcutta, this means a vehicle that stands out during a Saturday morning trip to the river banks while remaining compact enough to navigate narrow wooded paths.
