Nearly a half-decade after its highly acclaimed return, the Ford Bronco continues to impress both customers and critics. It seamlessly combines trail-tackling tenacity and everyday usability in a stylish, retro-inspired package. The Ford Bronco Sport is ideal for Madison-area shoppers who want something more affordable or with smaller space requirements. To help you determine which best suits your lifestyle, here's a quick look at a few distinguishing attributes.
Ford Bronco vs. Ford Bronco Sport: Size and Accommodations
Bronco Sport
As a smaller crossover, the Bronco Sport delivers an excellent blend of versatility and city-friendly maneuverability. While it's sized like a subcompact model, the Bronco Sport has one of the segment's roomiest interiors. It offers ample passenger space and 32.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity (up to 65.2 with the rear seats folded) for your Waunakee outings.
Bronco (4dr)
The midsize four-door Ford Bronco is a genuine body-on-frame SUV that offers even more room for passengers and cargo (38.3 – 83 cubic feet). It's nearly 17 inches longer than its crossover sibling, so it's not quite as nimble. Plus, it has chunkier tires, resulting in more road noise. However, the Bronco makes up for these differences with peerless off-road prowess.
Ford Bronco vs. Ford Bronco Sport: Performance and Capability
Bronco Sport
The Ford Bronco Sport's standard engine is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo-three (181 horsepower/190 pound-feet of torque). It comes standard with four-wheel drive and at least five G.O.A.T. modes on every trim. The available Sasquatch package (Outer Banks or Badlands) elevates the Bronco Sport's capability with an enhanced 4WD system, off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, wider fender flares, and more. The Badlands trim comes standard with many of the Sasquatch packages upgrades, plus a more powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four engine (250 horsepower/277 pound-feet of torque). It also adds additional G.O.A.T. modes (Rally, Rock Crawl), Ford Trail Control, a trail camera, and more.
