2022 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands

If your heart is longing for adventure, the 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands can help quench that thirst. This compact crossover is more capable than its fellow trim models, with exclusive off-road-ready gear. And the Badlands trim also adds impressive levels of comfort, safety, and smartphone integration to your daily cruise. Let’s take a closer look at this rugged crossover SUV.

Why choose the 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands?

In the Bronco Sport lineup, it’s the Badlands trim model that can journey furthest down the trail. This trim model comes standard with features that you can’t add to any other Bronco Sport, including two extra driving modes, underbody skid plates, and an off-road-tuned suspension.

What’s the difference between the Bronco Sport Badlands and Outer Banks?

The Badlands is more of a rugged cruiser, and the Outer Banks is the luxurious Bronco Sport trim model. The Outer Banks is the only Bronco Sport that comes standard with upscale upgrades, including leather upholstery. But the Badlands is the only Bronco Sport that features exclusive powertrain upgrades, including all-terrain tires and advanced all-wheel drive.

2022 Ford Badlands specs include:

• Turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 horsepower, 277 lb-ft of torque)
• Eight-speed automatic transmission
• Advanced all-wheel drive with twin-clutch rear drive unit
• All-terrain tires
• Off-road-tuned suspension
• Ford Trail Control
• 180-degree front-facing trail camera
• Underbody skid plates
• Front tow hooks

Does the Bronco Sport Badlands have G.O.A.T. Modes?

Yes! In fact, the Badlands adds two extra G.O.A.T. Modes to the standard lineup: Mud/Ruts and Rock. These settings help you make the most of an extremely rugged trail. Back on the pavement, drivers love the Sport mode, which makes the steering sharper and the Bronco Sport quicker and more nimble overall. On the flip side, Eco mode helps you conserve gas. And Slippery is specially designed to help you navigate less-than-ideal road conditions, like a summer downpour or a winter ice storm.

The Badlands models’ Terrain Management System includes seven G.O.A.T. Modes:

• Sand
• Slippery
• Sport
• Eco
• Normal
• Mud/Ruts
• Rock

Which features are standard for the 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands?

In addition to its exclusive performance gear, the Badlands also has a practical side. For instance, standard LED signature lighting and fog lamps help you cut through the mountain mist. And with the optional roof rack crossbars to secure it, you can pack up to 150 pounds of gear on the Safari-style roof.

The Badlands cabin is equally ready for adventure. Its easy-to-clean upholstery and rubberized flooring make it easy to tidy up after a long day on the trail. And comfort features, like the heated front seats and automatic temperature control system, help you make the most of any drive.
