There are no motors installed on the mirrors as far as I know.

Here in Brazil the 2022 model has electric folding mirros. Isn't this an option in USA?

Not in 2021. I would have jumped at this option.

Although I don't know this for a fact, my guess is Brazil requires automobiles be equipped with folding mirrors.

Folding mirrors are not required here. The 2021 model didn’t have it.

Well, my next guess is that one of the markets for which Ford produces the 2022 Bronco Sport requires folding mirrors, and that happens to be the version sold in Brazil. I can’t think of another reason Ford would include such an option.

I know that people here like the folding mirrors because we have a LOT of smal motorcycles in our city streets and they run like crazy between the cars, sometimes crashing into to the mirrors of the cars, specially when we are parked waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. Maybe it's only a market choice here. Anyway, I think maybe I can change the settings in Forscan when it arrives here. Thanks.

My guess is that the Ford Brazil Marketing team has requested the option for your market. I’m in Canada and retired from FOC Marketing. Canadian-spec vehicles are often different than other markets, including US, due to a number of factors including climate, consumer preferences, and purchasing habits.

no. Very few (mainly more $$$) has electric foldable mirros.

Here in Brazil, the 2022 has it, but it's not automactic with the lock, it only fold by pushing a button

in time, my last two Compass also had foldable and just like the BS, they didn't work automactic by locking the car. I bought an aftermarket unit that automated it....

- folding with the central lock
- tilt down right mirror in reverse

waiting for a version from this supplier for the BS with these features.

I would love it if the BS in the USA had power folding mirrors. I love that the most on my 2014 f150 for tight parking spots or just to avoid people running into the mirror breaking it off walking by it.

Now I'm secretly hoping my 2022, which is still yet to be delivered, is a Brazil model haha.

That's my guess too.

A friend in KY had auto folding mirrors, and unbeknownst to him, they froze in the folded position following a snow/ice event.
When he started the ignition, there was a loud pop! that required $600+ repair.
Sometimes less is more.

Interesting. Wonder if this is a Trim level thing. I have a BL coming with every option available just about, and I've always been under the impression that none of the trims had power folding mirrors.
