Standard AWD — Every Bronco Sport, Every Configuration

Every Bronco Sport comes with AWD standard. Not available, not an option — standard. That means every Bronco Sport on the lot at Beau Townsend Ford is ready for Montgomery County winters, wet highways, and the kind of unpredictable Ohio conditions that make FWD-only crossovers feel sketchy. The system works automatically, sending power where traction is needed without any driver input. For Dayton drivers who do not want to think about winter capability because it is already built in, the Bronco Sport makes the decision easy.

More Off-Road Capability Than Any Compact SUV in the Miami Valley

The Bronco Sport is not just a crossover with plastic cladding — it has real off-road engineering. The available Badlands package adds a twin-clutch rear drive unit, trail control (like cruise control for off-road), and increased ground clearance. For Dayton-area drivers who head to Hocking Hills, John Bryan State Park, or unpaved roads across the Miami Valley on weekends, the Bronco Sport handles terrain that would stop a typical compact SUV cold.

Compact Enough for Dayton, Cargo-Smart for Everything Else

The Bronco Sport fits in parking garages, tight downtown spots, and residential driveways without the bulk of a midsize SUV. But the safari-style roof adds vertical cargo space that most compact crossovers lack — tall items like bikes, coolers, and camping gear fit upright without folding seats. The rear cargo area is rubberized and easy to clean, with a low load floor that makes loading heavy gear simple. For active Dayton drivers who use their SUV like a tool, the Bronco Sport interior is designed for real use, not just showroom looks.

Technology and Safety

Ford Co-Pilot360 comes standard — pre-collision braking, blind spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams. A touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps you connected on the commute. The Bronco Sport handles the daily drive on I-75 and I-70 as comfortably as it handles a trail — which is exactly why it works as an only vehicle for Dayton drivers who need one SUV to do everything.
