2024 Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling Review: Don’t You Forget About Me
2024 Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling Review: Don’t You Forget About Me• Auto123 reviews the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling edition.
With its Ranger pickup underpinnings, big tires, retro styling and selection of ever-more-hardcore versions, the Ford Bronco full-size SUV continues to turn heads almost five years after it debuted. But for all the space the Bronco take up, the smaller Escape-based Bronco Sport still has a lot to give in the go (almost) anywhere crossover department. And 2024 saw Ford make that point with this: the bright, stripy Bronco Sport Free Wheeling.
Design of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling – 8.5/10
The Free Wheeling gets some certifiably bananas stripes and bright orange wheel pockets. While the stripes can only be coloured to look a sunset from a Haring painting, the body colour can be any of the colours available on most other Bronco Sport models.
This finish isn’t for everyone, but for those not enchanted by it, there’s always the Heritage model. It costs the same as the Free Wheeling but swaps the stripes for unique colours like Robin’s Egg Blue and Hot Red Pepper red and adds a white roof, steelie wheels and white grille with red “Bronco” lettering.
Interior
It’s hard to tell unless you really look for it, but the roof gets just a little higher just aft of the b-pillars. It’s hidden a little by the roof rails, but it’s there to provide more headroom in the rear seats. Which, at 1,059 mm (with sunroof) is generous, and more than you’ll get in the Escape. The rear door opening is a little snug, though, so while sitting back there is fine, getting in and out in takes some care for larger individuals such as myself.
