Bronco SUV vs Bronco Sport

Bronco SUV
Bronco Sport

CHASSIS

Bronco SUV

Bronco is a body-on-frame truck-based traditional SUV, based on the next-generation Ford Ranger pickup truck.

Bronco Sport

Bronco Sport is based on the transverse-engine unitized body-and-chassis Ford Escape crossover.

SUSPENSION

Bronco SUV

Bronco gets a control-arm front suspension and at the rear is a live axle located by trailing arms and a Panhard rod, along with serious off-road options like locking front and rear differentials and substantial underbody armoring.

Bronco Sport

Bronco Sport retains the Escape's fully independent front strut and rear multilink suspension design, though the springs and dampers are new, and the control arms and knuckles have been revised to increase track width, suspension travel, and ground clearance. Which should deliver a smoother ride than the Bronco's more off-road-capable setup.

ENGINE

Bronco SUV

Bronco offers a choice of a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder that delivers 270 hp and 310 lb-ft and a 2.7- liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 that cranks out 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Bronco Sport

Bronco Sport shares the Escape's two turbocharged gas engine options: a 1.5-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder producing 181 hp and 190 lb-ft and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder good for 245 hp and 275 lb-ft.

TRANSMISSION

Bronco SUV

Bronco offers a choice of a new-to-Ford Getrag 7MTI550 seven-speed manual gearbox that features a super-low "granny gear" first ratio for extreme rock crawling or Ford's version of the excellent 10-speed automatic co-developed with General Motors.

Bronco Sport

Bronco Sport shares the Ford Escape's eight-speed automatic across the range.

DRIVE SYSTEM

Bronco SUV

Base versions get the electric shift-on-the-fly unit from the F-150 that offers 2Hi, 4Hi, 4Lo, and neutral. The optional upgraded version features electromechanical shifting, has a full-time 4-Auto mode. Paired with locking front and rear differentials and the 4Hi or 4Lo modes in either case the Bronco offers serious traction. "G.O.A.T. Mode" (Goes Over Any Terrain) settings include normal, eco, sport, slippery, sand, Baja, mud, and rock crawl.

Bronco Sport

Base system gets a typical rear differential, while the upgraded system features a simple bevel gear driving halfshafts fitted with multiplate clutches that engage drive to each rear wheel. This system can provide torque vectoring. All Sports get Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand terrain-mode settings.

BODYWORK

Bronco SUV

Bronco is all about "Max Air," offering three hard and soft top designs, each of which offers various configurations between fully open and fully closed, plus removable doors. An industry-first waterproof, easily cleanable marine-grade vinyl upholstery and available rubberlike floor coverings with a drain in each footwell make cleanup a breeze.
