While the Ford Bronco has a reputation for its rugged off-road capabilities, the new model year brings a host of comfort features that transform this adventure-ready SUV into a surprisingly luxurious daily driver. These refinements demonstrate the Ford commitment to balancing the trail-conquering DNA of the Bronco with the amenities modern drivers expect. Here’s a look at the top 10 comfort features that make the Bronco as enjoyable on paved roads as it is on challenging terrain.

1. Heated and Ventilated Leather-Trimmed Seats

The available leather-trimmed seats offer both heating and ventilation functions, providing year-round comfort regardless of climate conditions. The Outer Banks and Badlands trims feature high-quality marine-grade leather that resists moisture and wear while delivering a premium feel. The 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat includes lumbar support, ensuring comfortable positioning even during extended journeys.

2. Advanced Climate Control System

The dual-zone automatic climate control system allows the driver and front passenger to set individual temperature preferences. Ford has enhanced the system with improved rear venting that ensures more consistent temperature throughout the cabin. The available heated steering wheel adds another touch of comfort during colder months, warming to the optimal temperature within seconds of activation.

3. Sound-Deadening Materials

Recognizing that previous Bronco models could be noisy on highways, Ford has significantly enhanced sound insulation for the latest year. Additional acoustic glass in the windshield and front side windows, along with extra sound-absorbing materials in the door panels, floor, and firewall, reduce wind and road noise by approximately 3 decibels compared to the previous model. This makes conversation easier and reduces driver fatigue during extended highway drives.

4. Premium Audio System

The available 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system transforms the Bronco cabin into a concert hall on wheels. Carefully positioned speakers and a dedicated subwoofer deliver immersive audio with remarkable clarity and depth. The system includes special tuning for both hard-top and soft-top configurations to optimize sound quality regardless of roof choice.

5. Washable Rubberized Flooring with Drain Plugs

While technically a utility feature, the available marine-grade vinyl seats and rubberized flooring with drain plugs contribute significantly to comfort by eliminating worry about dirt and moisture. After a muddy adventure, simply hose out the interior. This peace of mind allows occupants to fully enjoy outdoor activities without concern about damaging the vehicle’s interior.

6. SYNC 4 Infotainment with 12-inch Touchscreen

The available 12-inch touchscreen runs the latest Ford SYNC 4 system, offering intuitive controls and crisp graphics. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity eliminate the need for cables, while voice-activated navigation helps drivers stay focused on the road. The system includes over-the-air update capability, ensuring it remains current with the latest features and improvements.

7. 360-Degree Camera System

The available 360-degree camera system transforms tight parking maneuvers from stressful to simple. The system provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings, making it easier to navigate narrow city streets and crowded parking lots. Trail sight cameras help position the vehicle precisely on challenging off-road trails, reducing stress and enhancing confidence.

8. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go

The Bronco now offers adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality across more trim levels. This system maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed in traffic and capable of bringing the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. Lane-centering assist works in conjunction with adaptive cruise control to reduce driver fatigue during highway journeys.

9. Customizable Digital Instrument Cluster

You can configure the 8-inch digital instrument cluster to display the information most relevant to the driver. From traditional speed and fuel data to off-road metrics like pitch and roll angles, the customizable display puts critical information directly in the driver’s line of sight. Different drive modes automatically change the display theme, providing visual feedback that complements the vehicle’s performance adjustments.

10. Interior Ambient Lighting

The Bronco offers customizable ambient lighting with selectable colours. This subtle illumination highlights the cabin’s architectural elements while providing practical illumination for locating items in dark conditions. The lighting automatically dims based on driving conditions to avoid distraction while maintaining the premium atmosphere.

2. The rubberized flooring material contains recycled content from over 400,000 recovered plastic bottles annually across the production run.
3. Engineers developed a special algorithm for the climate control system that can detect when the removable roof panels are installed or removed, automatically adjusting airflow patterns for optimal comfort.
4. The optional acoustic headliner reduces interior noise levels by up to 6 decibels compared to models without this feature—equivalent to reducing the perceived loudness by approximately 35%.
5. The digital instrument cluster can display over 20 different vehicle parameters related to off-road performance, many of which required separate gauges or devices in previous-generation off-road vehicles.
