Are the new Ford Broncos roomy?
Yes—especially the four-door Bronco, which offers a spacious cabin and a sizeable cargo area for a midsize SUV. The two-door is more compact but still practical for daily use and weekend adventures.
As Ford's rugged, off-road-oriented SUV, the Bronco must juggle parking-lot practicality with trail-ready capability. Interior space varies by body style and roof configuration, but overall the four-door Bronco stands out for passenger comfort and cargo flexibility.
Interior space by configuration
Key measurements help potential buyers understand how many people and how much gear they can carry in the most common layouts. The figures below reflect the current generation and are representative of most trims with the standard roof (numbers can vary with removable panels and option roofs).
- Front headroom: about 40.8 inches
- Rear headroom: about 39.0 inches
- Front legroom: about 41.0 inches
- Rear legroom: about 37.0 inches
- Cargo behind rear seats (4-door): about 35.6 cubic feet
- Maximum cargo with rear seats folded (4-door): about 83.0 cubic feet
The two-door Bronco offers smaller rear-seat space and less cargo behind the rear seat, reflecting its shorter wheelbase and tighter footprint. However, it remains roomy enough for two adults on longer trips when properly configured.
Practicality for daily use
Beyond numbers, the way the space feels matters. Ford designed the Bronco's cabin to be easy to enter and exit, with wide door openings and tall seating. Four-door models deliver a more generous second row for adults and a larger opening for loading bulky items like camping gear, coolers, or grocery runs. The two-door is tighter in the back, but its shorter wheelbase makes it agile on trails and city streets.
How it compares to rivals
In the segment, the Bronco's interior space is competitive with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and other midsize SUVs. The Wrangler Unlimited often matches the Bronco in rear-seat space but can fall shorter in cargo capacity when both are configured for maximum gear. The Bronco's removable roof and doors also offer a distinct trade-off between openness and weatherproof storage, which can affect perceived roominess depending on how it's configured.
Summary
The latest Ford Bronco delivers a roomy cabin, especially in the four-door configuration, paired with generous cargo capacity for a midsize off-road SUV. For families or weekend adventurers who need to haul people and gear, the four-door Bronco is typically the more practical choice. The two-door remains appealing for buyers prioritizing compact size and trail-friendly handling, with adequate space for two adults and a moderate amount of gear.

What are the cons of the new Ford Bronco?
Loud Road Noise
One of the first 2025 Ford Bronco Cons we will go over is the load road noise for the Bronco. The road noise and wind can be heard from the inside, especially with the soft top option. The off-road tires can add to the loud noise, as well as the open-air configurations can reduce sound insulation.
Which is better, Bronco Big Bend or Outer Banks?
The main difference is that the Bronco Big Bend is a value-oriented, rugged trim, while the Outer Banks is a more upscale, feature-rich, and stylish option. The Big Bend focuses on off-road capability with more basic interior materials like cloth seats, while the Outer Banks adds luxury with standard leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and a more refined exterior design with body-colored elements and LED lighting.
