For extra space, off-roading readiness, and modern technology, investing in a Ford SUV is the way to go. Trying to decide between the Ford Bronco Sport vs. Bronco? Let us help you decide which vehicle makes the best companion for your future adventures. Learn how these SUVs stack up against each other to make an educated choice on your next investment. 

Power and Performance 

You can spot the difference between these SUVs by looking at their engine options. The Ford Bronco can exert more force, tow heavier equipment, and offer more thrills behind the wheel. You can choose between a turbocharged 2.3-liter engine, a twin-turbo V6 2.7-liter engine, and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine. Each engine gives you the capability to drive comfortably on the road and vigorously off-road. Plus, the Bronco towing capacity reaches up to 4,500 pounds if you’re driving the Raptor trim level.* 

Meanwhile, a Ford Bronco Sport for sale is more than ready to fulfill your thirst for adventure. It comes with a standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine and an available 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine (standard on the Badlands configuration). With this latter engine at your command, you will feel your heart pumping once you get up to 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. A 4×4 drivetrain is standard, so you can maintain better traction on bumpy terrain. Although this SUV is also off-road capable, its towing capacity is less than its counterpart, capping at 2,700 pounds with a tow package.* 

Interior Design 

Just because your surroundings may be bumpy, muddy, or sandy on the outside doesn’t mean you should be uncomfortable as you travel. Both SUVs have room for a total of five people (or four-legged friends). The Bronco is available with either four doors or two doors, while the Bronco Sport comes with four doors across all trims. Both models come with rear seats that split and fold, giving you more cargo space for your stuff. 

The cabins have similar amenities. If you’re driving the highest trim level of either the Bronco or Bronco Sport, you will have heated seats in the front row. You can choose between a variety of upholstery materials, including available leather. 

Technology 

Regardless of which SUV you choose to drive, your smartphone will be integrate easily with the system, enabling you to answer calls and access your favorite apps while you’re on the move. Both Ford vehicles also include a voice-activated function that allows you to make commands hands-free and an optional premium sound system with a subwoofer.  

The Bronco Sport stands out because of its available 13.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, which is larger than the one in the Bronco. It also has a standard wireless charging pad and dual USB ports throughout the cabin. In the Ford Bronco, you can upgrade to get an AC power outlet to charge your mobile devices or small appliances.
