Lights of the Ozarks Trips in a 2027 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks

A Compact SUV for Holiday Nights Downtown
Every holiday season, Lights of the Ozarks fills Fayetteville's downtown square with lights, and the side streets fill with cars. A compact SUV makes those nights easier: it's simple to park, warm inside on cold evenings, and roomy enough for shopping bags and gifts. The 2027 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks is the more upscale, in-town trim of Ford's compact SUV, with standard 4x4 and cold-weather comfort features. Here's why it works well for holiday outings, plus what it offers year-round. Springdale Ford is a short drive up I-49 from Fayetteville.

Holiday Lights, Shopping and Events in a Bronco Sport
The Bronco Sport Outer Banks suits drivers who spend most of their time in town but want 4x4 and a little extra capability for winter weather and weekend trips.
Easy Parking Around the Square
At about 173 inches long, the Bronco Sport is shorter than most midsize SUVs, which helps when you're hunting for a spot near the square or squeezing into a parking garage on a busy night. Rear parking sensors and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking help when backing out with pedestrians and other cars around, and the available 360-degree camera shows the whole area around the SUV.

Warm Before You Get In
Holiday light displays are best after dark, when temperatures drop. Standard remote start lets you warm the cabin and clear the windshield before you leave the restaurant or shop, and the heated seats and steering wheel help on the drive home.
Room for Gifts and Shopping Bags
The 60/40 split-fold-flat rear seat makes room for bigger packages, and the flip-up rear glass lets you drop in a bag without opening the whole liftgate. Cargo tie-down hooks help keep boxes from sliding around.
Ready for Icy Nights
Northwest Arkansas winters can bring freezing rain on short notice. Standard 4x4 and Slippery mode help with traction, but the all-season tires still need extra room to stop on ice, so slow down and leave space on bridges and hills.
