2022 Ford Bronco Sport Already Has An APR Deal

In yet another case in which consumers are being given an incentive to wait, Ford is already offering an APR deal on the 2022 Bronco Sport. According to a bulletin sent to dealers, those looking to buy the latest version of the wildly popular SUV are able to score interest rates as low as 0.9% when financing through Ford Credit.

To start, all 2022 Bronco Sports offer 0.9% APR for 36 months through October 4th. Alternatively, Ford Credit has 48-, 60- and 72-month options at 1.9%, 2.9%, and 4.9%, respectively. There's even an 84-month financing option at 6.9%, although that could translate to well over $9,000 in interest on a $35,000 crossover SUV.

There's no rebate yet on the 2022 Bronco Sport, and we don't expect to see one anytime soon. Even though the 2021 model does feature a $500 cash incentive, it's actually limited to buyers with a trade-in vehicle. If you're financing, choosing a 2021 Bronco Sport offers just a 1% advantage in interest rate.

On a 5-year loan, the difference in rates equates to just over $900 in additional interest on a $35,000 SUV. That could give buyers a reason to wait, especially considering the fact that severe Bronco Sport markups show no indication of letting up, especially with a worsening inventory shortage at dealers.

If you're looking to lease your 2022 Bronco Sport, the mid-tier Big Bend trim continues to offer an advantage over other styles. Based on Ford's residual value guide, the Big Bend trim is listed at 57%. In contrast, the SUV's base trim comes in at 54%. These figures are based on a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles/year.

When the Bronco Sport first arrived, quirks like this made the base trim just $2/month cheaper to lease than the Big Bend despite a sizable difference in MSRPs. If you're thinking of waiting for the newest model, it's highly possible that the cheapest Bronco Sport may not necessarily end up being the best deal.
