Designed for off-road adventures yet comfortable and luxurious enough for family road trips, the 2023 Ford Bronco combines an advanced four-wheel-drive powertrain with outstanding engine performance, leaving few places where it can't venture. It also has a spacious cabin packed with sophisticated tech features that can help you navigate trails and highways while keeping all passengers entertained.
At a Glance: The 2023 Ford Bronco
Performance
The 2023 Bronco's many trim levels come standard with any one of three impressive engines and either a 10-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmission. Standard with the Black Diamond, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Everglades, Badlands, and Heritage trims is a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter I-4 engine.
For more strength, the Heritage Limited and Wildtrak trims come with a 2.7-liter V6 that delivers 330 horsepower. Then there's the Raptor's 3.0-liter V6, which churns out an astounding 418-horsepower output. All models come with four-wheel drive, a specialized off-road suspension system, and G.O.A.T. Modes: a convenient terrain management feature that gives you multiple traction-enhancing modes to switch the vehicle into.
Interior
Inside this edition's cabin, plenty of spaces for storing cargo are offered, with up to 108.2 cubic feet available for larger items, as well as the convenient MOLLE panel system, which attaches to the seat backs for smaller items.
You also have your choice between both hardtop and soft-top options. Although the soft-top models with four doors offer a bit more space, going with the hardtop option allows you to camp out on the roof of the vehicle. There are plenty of comfortable seating choices too, including heated, leather seating in the front row and a 60/40 split-folding seat for both passengers and cargo in the back.
Technology
The Sync 4 infotainment system found in the cabin provides all you need for entertainment, hands-free calling, and navigation assistance, and it pairs perfectly with the immersive 360-degree camera, which is sure to come in handy when out on trails.
Other available tech features that can enhance off-road driving include Trail Control and Trail 1-Pedal Drive, as the first system works like a conventional cruise control system but at lower speeds, while the other lets you focus more on steering by allowing you to use the accelerator for both braking and acceleration.
Safety
One of the vehicle's many safety systems, which can warn you when you're moving too quickly toward other vehicles or pedestrians at faster speeds, is Pre-Collision Assist. This feature teams with Automatic Emergency Braking, a system that can stop the vehicle to help avoid an otherwise imminent collision. At slower speeds, both the forward- and reverse-sensing systems can warn you of nearby pedestrians, vehicles, or low-lying objects while in parking lots.
To keep you distanced from other vehicles while also keeping the Bronco at your preferred speed, the available Adaptive Cruise Control uses advanced radar and camera-based technology for a semi-hands-free driving experience.
Versatile off-road and stylish enough for city streets, the 2023 Bronco is as comfortable on trails as it is on highways and delivers exceptional performance that other SUVs simply can't compete with. For a closer look, come and take it for a test drive today by visiting us at Matthews Ford.
