The Ford Bronco Sport Interior, Model by Model
The Ford Bronco Sport interior changes by model in seat surface, flooring and the heated steering wheel. There are four 2026 models, the Bronco Sport Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands, and the seats and floors differ on each one.
The Bronco Sport Big Bend has cloth seats Ford calls easy-to-clean, and the Bronco Sport Heritage has plaid cloth. The Bronco Sport Outer Banks has premium-trimmed seating, and the Bronco Sport Badlands has ActiveX® seating with perforation, with leather-trimmed seating available.
Here is each model's cabin in Ford's own feature names. Not listed means that model's page does not name the item, so check the individual vehicle.

Cargo Space Behind the Bronco Sport's Second Row: The Weekly Load
Ford lists 919 litres of cargo space behind the second row of the 2026 Bronco Sport Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks with the 1.5L engine. On the Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0L, Ford's figure is 833 litres behind the second row, and 823 litres with the Sasquatch Badlands Package.
A Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package has 833 litres behind the second row. Those are Ford's figures with all seats in place, the space the hockey bag, the stroller and the groceries go into.
Every 2026 Bronco Sport model has cargo tie-down carabiner hooks and loops, with a cargo management system (shelf, divider and table) as an option.
A litre figure will not tell you whether your hockey bag lies flat beside the stroller. Bring the bag and the stroller, and try them in the cargo area yourself.
Cargo Behind the Bronco Sport's First Row: Skis and Weekends Away
Ford lists 1,846 litres of cargo capacity behind the first row of the 2026 Bronco Sport Big Bend and Outer Banks with the 1.5L engine. The Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0L lists 1,715 litres, and 1,705 litres with the Sasquatch Badlands Package.
Ford's note on these figures: "Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and weight distribution."
A Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package has 1,715 litres of cargo capacity behind the first row. The 60/40 split-fold-flat second row is standard on every 2026 Bronco Sport model.
On a cottage weekend down Highway 7 or a ski day in the Ottawa Valley, try folding one part of the second row for the skis and leaving the other part up for a passenger.
At Carleton Place Ford, fold it down yourself and load your own gear.
The Bronco Sport Back Seat: Leg Room and Child Seats
Ford lists 936 mm of second-row leg room on every 2026 Bronco Sport model, and 1,077 mm in the first row. Ford also lists lower anchors and tether anchors for children (LATCH) on the rear outboard seats of every 2026 Bronco Sport model.
Follow your child seat's manual and the vehicle's owner's manual when you install it. Transport Canada gives the same advice.
Bring the child seat you use and fit it before you choose. Then set the driver's seat for your own driving position and have your tallest passenger sit behind it.
Slush, Mud and a Wet Dog: Rubberized Floors in the Bronco Sport
The Bronco Sport Badlands is the model with rubberized flooring, a rubberized cargo floor and rubberized second-row seat backs as standard. The rubberized cargo floor and rubberized seat backs are optional on the Bronco Sport Big Bend and Outer Banks, where carpeted flooring is standard.
There is a trade-off: the Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0L, the model with rubberized flooring as standard, has less cargo space behind the second row than the Bronco Sport Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks with the 1.5L engine and no Sasquatch package. Load your own gear in the one you are choosing.
Rubberized flooring is also an option on the Bronco Sport Outer Banks, and first- and second-row floor liners, without carpet mats, are an option on all four models.
The Bronco Sport Heritage also comes with carpeted flooring as standard.
For a family with a wet dog, rubber underfoot where carpet would otherwise be is the Bronco Sport Badlands detail to get excited about.
When the kids come in wet from the rink and the dog comes in off a gravel lane, ask our Carleton Place Ford team which floor the Bronco Sport you like has, carpet or rubberized.
Cold Mornings: Heated Seats and Steering Wheel in the Bronco Sport
Every 2026 Bronco Sport model has heated front seats as standard. The heated steering wheel, Ford's Heated and Premium-Wrapped Steering Wheel with Bronco Badge, is standard on the Bronco Sport Outer Banks and optional on the Bronco Sport Badlands.
On the Bronco Sport Big Bend and Heritage, check whether the steering wheel is heated on the individual vehicle.
On a dark, frosty drive to a Kanata rink, here is the good news: whichever 2026 Bronco Sport you choose, the front seats are heated. Sit in and find the controls before you buy.
How to Check Your Family and Gear Fit in a Bronco Sport
To check whether your family and gear fit a Bronco Sport, bring what you actually carry and test it in person. Load the weekly gear behind the second row, fold the second row for the weekend load, install the child seat, and look at the floor.
Who rides. Fit the child seat you use, and have the tallest passenger sit behind your driving position.
The weekly load. Load the hockey bag, the stroller and a grocery run behind the second row with all seats in place.
The weekend load. Fold one part of the 60/40 second row and load the skis, the cooler or the dog's crate.
What comes in wet. Ask whether the vehicle has carpeted or rubberized flooring, and whether it has floor liners.
Cold mornings. Find the heated front seat controls, and check for a heated steering wheel.
Confirm the configuration on the individual vehicle, then browse our new Bronco Sport inventory with your list in hand.
If you are weighing the Bronco as well, our Bronco vs Bronco Sport guide sets the two side by side.

Moving Your Family Into a Bronco Sport: Trade, Financing and Ordering
Before your family moves into a new Bronco Sport, start with the vehicle you drive today: value your trade online, then bring it to Carleton Place Ford in person. We take trades of any make, whether it is paid off or not.
We put our appraisal of your trade in writing. We buy vehicles outright, so an appraisal does not commit you to buying from us.
With your permission, we get the payout from your lender and show it beside our appraisal.
If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the shortfall may be added to the amount financed, increasing the amount borrowed and potentially the total cost of borrowing. Financing is subject to lender approval (O.A.C.).
Apply for financing before you come in if you wish. With your consent, we can review options with participating lenders.
Approval, rate, term and payment depend on the applicant, lender and vehicle, and a credit-bureau inquiry may be required.
Bring a driver's licence and proof of income if requested; lender requirements vary.
If Ford's order bank, dealer allocation and your preferred configuration are available, we can review the build and help you submit an order. Availability, order acceptance, timing and pricing are subject to Ford and dealer confirmation.
Ask our team to check the VIN and confirm any open campaigns before you buy.
