Thinking of trading in our 2022 Badlands for a 2025 Badlands...

[ELCouz]

interesting, the 2.0 engine is different than pre-2024 and earlier model? I'm new BTW, potential owner.

Yes, both engine is new for the 2025 Bronco Sport... but both were used in the Escape 2 years earlier.

I tested drove a 2024 badlands and a 2025 badlands (mine) to be honest I don't see much of a difference engine wise.

I think the 1.5L is where people saw most of the improvements regarding vibration and noise.

for me I really like the new intake tube! Although that resonator/silencer is horrendous!

I think the bigger screen and updated instrument cluster is a nice to have but I'm still loving my '21 OBX enough not to bother trading up. There's something to be said for no car payments! If you do trade in your '22 consider keeping your full sized spare and jack as I hear the '25's don't come with those.

I have a 2023 Bronco Sport with the 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine and have 46000 miles with no problems at all. I plan on trading in my BS when I get 60000 miles on it and get a 2025 or 2026 Bronco Sport . I always feel that it is good to get the latest technolgy that may be engine, chassis, or electronics. My advice to the OP is to get a 2025 for improvements that the 2025 may have over the 2022. My question is how much better is the 4 cylinder engine over the 3 cylinder engine. I am so impressed with the acceleration of the turbo 1.5 liter engine that I do not know how I will like the 4 cylinder engine. I currently get 35 miles with mostly highway driving.

So it's "All Over Now" as Dylan would sing. Decided the Santa Fe was a little big for us and our garage, and who needs three sets of seats at 80 and 72 and no grandkids, it's gets less than average MPGs and lacks numerous things the Bronco Sport Badlands has, such as power seats for the passenger, no memory seats for the driver, no Homelink garage door opener and probably others if I had more time to assess the differences. Bought another BS Badlands, basically top of the line, with a tow hitch that I missed so much on our 2022 because at the time they said "we can't get them", after having a hitch for 35 years. Why do the deliver then with 45 PSI in the tires when the door sticker says 33 PSI, just fixed that. A little hard getting used to the touch screen stuff, but we'll (I'll) figure that out. Thanks for all your responses. Also, a Hyundai article on Google about
engine and paint problems on earlier vehicles, sunk the Santa Fe as well, that after the Hyundai sales manager said the paint had a 10 year warranty, no it doesn't. Thanks for all your responses, I'll be back with a new picture soon. Geez I hate giving up a 5 yr, 60k bumper to bumper and 100,000 10 yr power train warranty, and 3 years of maintenance, but he BS won out in the end!

I noticed my 2025 Mavericks tire pressures were also over 40 psi cold when they call for 35 psi cold.

The 2025 outer banks….. the only way to get the badlands rear differential seems to be to upgrade to the Sasquatch package and I correct?

I gave up a vehicle I really did like (2023 AT4X canyon) 12.5k miles. Loved he tech but at 69 years old getting in and out daily with my dachshunds was too much for me. Got an even trade for a 25 BS BL Sasquatch which I really like even though I am a Toyota fan and we still have a RAV4 as well. Been driving pickups for almost 45 years. Don't really need one anymore. Will buy a light aluminum trailer if I ever need to run to Lowes Hardware for longer items or pull my Kawasaki Mule Pro MX to the shop or up to a trail.
