Do new Broncos have power seats?

Yes. In the current Ford Bronco lineup, power-adjustable driver's seats are available on most mid- to high-trim models, while the base version typically uses manual seat adjustment. Exact availability depends on the model year and the specific trim or package selected. Always check the latest official configuration for precise details.


How power seats are used in Broncos


Power seats refer to electronically adjustable seating, allowing the driver to shift position with electronic controls rather than a manual lever. In the Bronco, this usually means the driver’s seat can be moved forward/back, up/down, reclined, and sometimes adjusted for lumbar support. The passenger seat may also be power-adjustable in some configurations, but that varies by year and trim.


Below is a quick, typical breakdown of how power-seat availability has appeared across recent Broncos. Note that exact features can change by model year and market, so verify with the dealer or the build sheet for the specific vehicle you’re considering.



  • Base bronco models generally come with manual driver and passenger seats, with power options not always included by default.

  • Mid-range trims and certain packages commonly add an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and may offer a power passenger seat depending on year and package.

  • Higher trims and special editions frequently include power-adjustable driver seats as standard, and some configurations also provide a power passenger seat, leather seating, or other comfort upgrades.


In short, if you want powered seating, you’ll likely find it on mid- to high-trim Broncos or via a comfort/tech package. Always confirm the exact configuration for the year and trim you’re considering.


What to check when buying or ordering a Bronco for power seats


To ensure you get the seating adjustment you want, use a targeted checklist when shopping or configuring a Bronco. This helps avoid surprises at delivery and during a test drive.



  • Confirm which seats are power-adjustable on the trim you're considering (driver, passenger, or both).

  • Ask whether the power seat includes lumbar support and the range of motion (height, tilt, forward/back).

  • Check for any optional comfort packages that bundle power seats with leather upholstery, heated seats, or other amenities.

  • Test the seat adjustments in person during a showroom visit or test drive to ensure the range and feel meet your preferences.


By verifying these aspects, you can be confident the Bronco you choose satisfies your comfort and driving-position needs.


Summary


Power-adjustable seating is common on modern Broncos, particularly on mid- to high-level trims and with optional comfort packages. The base model tends to have manual seats, so if powered adjustment is a priority, look toward higher trims or verify the exact package on the vehicle you’re considering. Always consult the latest Ford brochure or dealer configuration for your specific year and trim to ensure you get the seat setup you want.
