Kelley Blue Book Ranks the Ford Bronco Sport in Top 10 Coolest Cars Under $30K Post

If you’re in the market for a cool and affordable ride, you’re in for a treat. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) recently ranked the Ford Bronco Sport among the top 10 coolest cars that won’t break the bank, all with a price tag under $30,000. This recognition by KBB is a testament to the Bronco Sport’s unique blend of style, performance, and affordability.

KBB’s list of the coolest cars under $30,000 is a celebration of vehicles that offer something special without demanding a hefty price tag. Brian Moody, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book, acknowledges that “there are many different ways to define the subjective concept of ‘cool’ when it comes to cars.” Whether you’re looking for style, performance, tech features, or versatility, this list has you covered.

The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport secured an impressive third place on KBB’s list, outshining several other renowned vehicles. It ranked just behind the Toyota Prius and Mazda MX-5, showing that the Bronco Sport is more than just a capable SUV—it’s cool, too. Here’s why:

Compact, Cool Design

What makes the Ford Bronco Sport so cool? To start, it offers a compact design with plenty of space, making it ideal for both city driving and off-road adventures. With over 65 cubic feet of total cargo volume and seating for up to five people, it’s versatile enough for family trips or outdoor escapades with friends.

Incredible Off-Road Functionality

Off-road enthusiasts take note: the Bronco Sport is designed for adventure. The Badlands trim boasts more than 8 inches of ground clearance and excellent approach and departure angles, allowing you to tackle rugged terrain without a hitch. With over 23 inches of water-fording capability, the Bronco Sport can handle even the wettest challenges.

Standard 4×4 Power

Unlike some vehicles that require you to pay extra for 4×4 capabilities, every model of the Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with 4×4. This means you can count on off-road prowess no matter which trim you choose. The Badlands trim, in particular, features a twin-clutch 4×4 system, ensuring that no obstacle is too tough to conquer.

G.O.A.T. Modes: Terrain Mastery

One of the standout features of the Bronco Sport is its Goes Over Any Type of Terrain (G.O.A.T.) modes. This terrain management system allows you to adjust traction settings quickly as conditions change, making it easier to switch from paved roads to trails. With five standard modes and two additional modes for the Badlands trim, the Bronco Sport is agile and adaptable.

H.O.S.S. Suspension: A Smooth Ride

The High-Performance, Off-Road, Stability, Suspension system (H.O.S.S.) ensures that the Bronco Sport delivers a comfortable and controlled ride on rough terrain. With uniquely tuned front struts, hydraulic rebound, 46mm-diameter monotube rear shocks, softer springs, and anti-roll bars, this suspension system guarantees a smooth and enjoyable off-road experience.

Impressive Interior and Safety Features

Inside the Bronco Sport, you’ll find an 8-inch infotainment display for music and navigation and an available B&O Premium sound system for an incredible audio experience. Safety is a priority with Ford Co-Pilot360’s advanced safety technology, including pre-collision assist, blind spot information, lane-keeping, automatic high-beam headlamps, and a rearview camera. An available 180-degree off-road camera with split-view functionality acts as your trail companion, helping you navigate challenging terrain with confidence.
