In response to the growing popularity of the color bronze in everything from fashion and consumer products to cars, Ford is introducing a new Bronze Package for its Bronco Sport line for 2026. Available on Big Bend and Badlands models — as well as with the Black Diamond Off-Road Package — the option features a set of 17-inch wheels in Sinister Bronze, some exclusive badging and painted fender accents.

Most interestingly, the mini LiPlay+ is the first Instax camera that lets you record sound and then add an associated QR code on the photo. People can then hear that recording (limited to 3-second audio clips) by scanning the QR code. The camera is available in two color options: Sand Beige or Midnight Blue.
