Does the Ford Bronco Sport have a 360 camera?
Yes. The Bronco Sport can be equipped with a 360-degree camera view, though it is not standard on the base model and typically requires choosing a higher trim or adding the Technology Package. Availability can vary by model year, so check the specific build sheet or confirm with a dealer for the exact configuration.
What the 360-degree camera is and why it matters
A 360-degree camera system uses multiple exterior cameras to create a bird’s-eye, top-down view around the SUV. This helps with parking, hitching trailers, and navigating tight spaces, and it can also assist off-road maneuvers by showing obstacle proximity from above. The display is usually accessible from the vehicle’s touchscreen and can be combined with dynamic guidelines that move with the steering wheel.
Availability by trim and package
The 360-degree camera is not typically standard on the Bronco Sport’s base model. It is commonly available when you add the Technology Package or a similarly named upgrade on higher trims. Availability and naming can vary by model year, so verify the exact equipment list for the year you’re considering.
- The base S trim: generally not standard; may be available only with an optional Technology Package or equivalent upgrade.
- Higher trims (such as Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands): more likely to offer the 360-degree camera when equipped with the Technology Package or a premium optics package, depending on the year.
- Special editions or refreshed model years: some editions may include the feature as standard; always confirm with the dealer or the official build sheet.
Note: Ford periodically updates feature packages and names across model years, so the exact inclusions can shift. Always check the current year’s equipment list to be sure.
Using the 360-degree camera on the Bronco Sport
To access the feature, engage the vehicle’s camera system from the dashboard button or the infotainment menu. The 360-view typically appears as a bird’s-eye display, often with options for a split view that includes the rear or front cameras. Dynamic on-screen guidelines help you park, hitch a trailer, or navigate tight spots, and some off-road modes offer additional trail-oriented views.
Off-road nuances
In off-road or trail-focused modes, the camera system may present extra views or overlays designed to aid drivers with rough terrain, rocks, and obstacles. While not every trim includes these advanced views, the core 360-degree feature remains a helpful general aid for off-road maneuvering.
Summary
The Ford Bronco Sport can be equipped with a 360-degree camera, but it is not a standard feature on the base model. It is typically available when you opt for the Technology Package or a higher trim, with exact availability varying by model year. If a 360-view is important to you, confirm the specific year and trim with Ford or your dealer before purchase or build.
