ford just gave the bronco sport a significant price cut

The Ford Bronco Sport might not be the rugged, go-anywhere SUV that its larger cousin is, but it’s a formidable off-roader in its own right. It’s also surprisingly affordable for what it brings to the table, and a new report from CarsDirect suggests it’s about to get even less expensive.

The publication uncovered a letter to dealers that outlines price cuts for the 2024 Bronco Sport, bringing prices down by close to $2,000 for some configurations. Pricing now starts at $29,795 before fees, $1,435 less than before. Two other trims, the Heritage Edition and Free Wheeling models, got $1,335 price cuts to a starting price of $32,365 for the former. Ford slashed prices on the Outer Banks variant by $1,980, giving it a $33,935 MSRP.

There weren’t many updates to the Bronco Sport for the 2024 model year. The Free Wheeling trim debuted, while the Outer Banks and Badlands trims picked up a new leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Powertrain options remain unchanged, with the turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder holding as the entry-level mill. It makes 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque, while the available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces a healthier 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive.

Ford’s price cuts are a welcome change at a time when most vehicles become more expensive by the year. While it’s not a raging off-roader, it’s also refreshing to see a solidly capable SUV on sale for less than $40,000. That’s especially true when the automaker dropped the base trim of the larger Bronco, driving the starting price to more than $41,000.

No it's not.

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X As much problems as I had with my '96 Chevy Impala SS.....I would love to try one again. I've seen a Dark Cherry Metallic one today and it looked great.
Susan O’Neil There is a good reason to keep the Chevrolet Malibu and other 4 door family sedans! You can transport your parents and other somewhat handicapped people comfortably and safety! If someone can stand and pivot you can put them in your car. An armrest in the back seat is appreciated and a handle above the door! Oh…and leather seats so your passenger can slide across the seat! 😊Plus, you can place a full sized wheelchair or walker in the trunk! The car sits a little lower…so it’s doable! I currently have a Ford Fusion and we have a Honda Accord. Our previous cars were Mercury Sables-excellent for transporting handicapped people and equipment! As the population ages-sedans are a very practical choice! POV from a retired handicapped advocate and daughter! 😊
Freddie Remember those ads that say "Call your doctor if you still have...after four hours"?You don't need to call your doctor, just get behind the wheel of a CUV. In fact, just look at one.I'm a car guy with finite resources; I can't afford a practical car during the week plus a fun car on the weekend. My solution is my Honda Civic Si 4 door sedan. Maybe yours is a Dodge Charger (a lot of new Chargers are still on dealer lots).
Daniel J Interesting in that we have several weeks where the temperature stays below 45 but all weather tires can't be found in a shop anywhere. I guess all seasons are "good enough".
Steve Biro For all the talk about sedans vs CUVs and SUVs, I simply can’t bring myself to buy any modern vehicle. And I know it’s only going to get worse.
