2024 Ford Bronco vs. 2023 Ford Bronco
The legendary Ford Bronco was reintroduced to the showroom floor back in 2021 and is now in its third year of production. But what are the differences between 2023 and 2024 SUV, and what do they mean for you? Let’s dig into the details.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There aren't many changes in the Ford Bronco for 2024 from the year prior.
- A 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen is new to the Bronco, as are new exterior color changes.
- The previous year’s base model has been dropped—2024’s lowest level trim starts with the Big Bend.
- Rumors abound that there may be a Bronco hybrid in the near future, possibly later this year or in 2025.
What’s New for the 2024 Ford Bronco?
The Bronco is celebrating its 58 birthday in 2024. (It’s not a “milestone” birthday, but we can’t help but wonder—what will happen at 60?). This year, its changes are minimal, at least so far, but there might be a surprise on the horizon in a possible plug-in hybrid later this year.
Currently, the Bronco comes with a standard with a 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. The Raptor gains the Code Orange appearance package, exterior colors Shelter Green and Velocity Blue and the option of 17-inch wheels. The Badlands trim now comes with a modular front bumper.
The 2023 base level trim has been dropped. The following trims (and starting MSRPs) are part of the 2024 lineup.
- Big Bend: $39,630
- Black Diamond: $43,330
- Outer Banks: $47,190
- Heritage Edition: $48,555
- Badlands: $50,095
- Everglades: $55,720
- Wildtrak: $60,225
- Heritage Limited Edition: $69,685
- Raptor: $90,035
No Changes in Engine Specs
The 2024 Bronco looks essentially the same as it did in 2023. It’s outfitted with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 275 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque with regular gas. Add premium gas and you add more power, as the Bronco’s numbers jump up to 300 ponies and 325 lb-ft of torque. The Bronco also offers the option of a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 with a generous output of 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Interior Creature Comforts
Interiors are also basically the same from ‘23. The Bronco has manually adjustable front seats with cloth upholstery; owners have the option of power adjusted and heated front seats with leather or vinyl upholstery. Whatever they choose, they are in for a supportive and comfortable ride, as are all passengers. The rear seats are spacious too—adults can fit easily in both two- and four door models, though two-doors are a bit more of a squeeze.
The Bronco has plenty of shoulder, hip, head room in the front and back, so you can ride comfortably, and there’s more than enough cargo space to store what you need.
The Best in Infotainment and Safety
The Bronco’s infotainment system is truly something to behold—buyers are consistently impressed by its offerings. Aside from the new 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, the Bronco includes Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, Wifi hotspot, four USB ports, HD and satellite radio, a seven-speaker stereo and remote keyless entry.
In terms of upgrades, two more USB ports are available, as is a nav system, a 12-inch digital gauge cluster (the standard is 8-inches), wireless charging, a 10-speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo system, a 120-volt household-style outlet, proximity keyless entry, remote start and dual-zone automatic climate control. When it comes to tech, the powers that be at Ford thought of everything!
