Confirms this as my fav color. Thanks for the pics. Too bad it's an extra cost color; hoping that will change in 2022

2021 Bronco Sport Badlands
Anyone else go for the grey top on their Alto Blue Badlands? Wasn't sure at first but I look at the gloss black roof as a scratch magnet. Especially when putting things on/off the roof racks or the ice and snow slides off while going down the road. I'm a bit color blind but IMO the Alto Blue and the grey are one of the better combinations with the grey.

First customer Bronco Sport at my dealer. They had 3 offers for it in the 4hrs before I picked it up. 14 Miles on the Odometer.

Lot's of compliments on the Alto Blue with grey top. Pictures don't do it justice. I'm really happy with the color choice.

Taller "Off road" cross bars. Ordered before other crossbars were available but I like them.

Cargo management System stowed behind seat.

My two cents


Nice driving. Quick, Responsive, easy to maneuver. Other vehicle is a 150000 miles 2008 Escape so anything is an improvement. Windy drive so I don't know how well steering tracks manually but lane centering option was better then expected. Waiting for winter storm tonight to hopefully try other drive modes.

8 position Seats really comfortable for me for the hour I was in it. . Adjustable Lumbar was great. The heated seats heated both back and butt and got hot fast.

Wider hood wasn't much of a distraction when driving. It's like the wearing thick frame glasses for the first time. You notice it for a couple hours then you don't see them it at all. Front camera came in handy to check clearance in tight parking situations.

Haven't decided if the Cargo Management system is worth it. I'll have to wait for a camping trip to see if it helps or hinders. GIad I can stow it out of the way because I don't know how often I'll use it. May have opted for a roll up cargo cover if it was available.

I could sleep inside with rear seat down and passenger seat all the way forward but not a lot of room to spare. (5' 11").

Headlights are BRIGHT. Good for us but bad for those coming at us. Don't like the auto dimmers much. They work pretty well in rural dark roads but in city lights they got confused and would sometimes flash oncoming cars.

Dealer told me the keys were $700 to replace????? They were trying to sell me key replacement insurance so I call BS. If not I'm going to superglue it to my body so I don't lose it.

Found out I'm a little Narcissistic. I'm enjoying the attention the Bronco Sport gets. Everyone asks about it or pulls next to it for a quick thumbs up.

Thanks for the report. I ordered mine 10 days after you with it looks like the same packages in Iconic Silver, except I have a 3/1/21 build date. I am just down I35 in Iowa, if I see an Alto Blue Badlands when in Minn I will be the one honking at you.

I love the blue/grey top with the steelies! Best configuration out there (even though i ordered A51 BL...). Enjoyed your write-up. $700 key replacement sounds absurd

I’m concerned that it had 14 miles when you picked it up. Sounds to me like they let someone take it for a test drive as I wouldn’t expect it to come off the truck with more than 3-4. I’ll be livid with my dealer if they do the same.
