The Ford Bronco enters the 2025 model year with a host of updates that enhance both its style and technological offerings. These modifications are the most significant since the vehicle’s revival for the 2021 model year and feature a reduced starting price.
A standout addition is the standard 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster, which replaces the existing 8.0-inch display and separate speedometer. This new screen was previously exclusive to the Bronco Raptor and is capable of showing more information, including unique animations for each G.O.A.T. Mode.

The infotainment system features a 12-inch touchscreen in the center stack—this was introduced with the Bronco in the 2024 model year. Additionally, there is a new 12-speaker B&O audio system, which upgrades the previous 10-speaker arrangement.
Additional comfort enhancements in four-door Bronco models include new air conditioning vents for second-row passengers, more interior lighting, and increased sound-deadening materials.
Ford has confirmed the reintroduction of the Bronco Base model after a one-year absence, resulting in a starting price lowered to $39,890, down from the 2024 model’s $41,025 base price. The Black Diamond model is now available as part of a package for the Big Bend. Additionally, for those choosing the Sasquatch off-road package, the existing mud-terrain tires have been swapped for 35-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires, which Ford claims are quieter during highway driving.
The 2025 Bronco also comes with the previously mentioned Free Wheeling package and the Stroppe Special Edition. Buyers can opt for a black appearance package and paint protection film with a matte finish (not available on the Bronco Raptor). To provide more options for customization, Ford introduced the new Ford Custom Garage personalization program at this week’s 2024 SEMA show in Las Vegas. This program organizes design and performance options into easy-to-order packages, with the initial two available for the Bronco.
There have been no alterations to the 2025 Bronco’s mechanical aspects, ensuring consistent four-wheel drive across the lineup, along with the option of a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing up to 300 hp or a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 offering as much as 330 hp. The Bronco Raptors come equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 delivering 418 hp. All engine options come paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the turbo-4 can also be equipped with a 7-speed manual transmission.
The 2025 Bronco is already open for orders, with initial deliveries expected this winter. The $39,890 base price applies to the variant featuring the turbo-4 engine and 7-speed manual transmission. Opting for the 10-speed automatic incurs an additional cost of $1,495. Those interested in the new Stroppe Edition will have a minimum cost of $77,530, while the Raptor continues to lead the lineup with a starting price of $91,930. All prices include a destination charge of $1,895.
