Ford Bronco Sport vs Bronco: Pumping Out Performance

---

Ultimately, your decision will rely on your preference in performance, interior, and technology. So, let’s start off with your expected performance in both models.

For the standard engine of the 2022 Bronco 4-door base model, drivers receive a 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine that pumps out a mighty 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This lineup also offers an available 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 engine that achieves peak performance at 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Meanwhile, the standard Bronco Sport uses a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, which allows for 180 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. At most, Sport drivers can command 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque with the help of the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine.

Clearly, the original Ford Bronco has a firm grip on higher power configurations. However, it’s important to note that both models have standard 4x4 all-wheel drivetrain. That means no matter which model you choose, you’ll have the option to maximize your vehicle’s performance.

The system redistributes your engine’s available power to all four of your wheels when traveling on tough terrain. That way, you can improve handling and traction when met with wet, slippery, muddy, or inclined roads.

Next, we’ll talk interior. Here is a simplified table with the interior dimensions of both models:

Again, the original Bronco excels in providing as much space as possible. Though both models have the same 5-seat passenger capacity, the Bronco offers more inches overall for your riders. This is obvious in its 108.2 cubic feet of passenger volume.

Also, the original Bronco adds 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space, compared to the Sport model. That means you and your passengers can pack way more personal gear for your next adventure.

However, this is not to say that the Bronco Sport does not come with its own advantages. Being that the Sport is the smaller model, this makes the vehicle much more versatile when traveling through tight spaces like compressed parking spots and narrow city streets.

Therefore, the smaller build found in the Bronco Sport could be the perfect pairing for you and your crew.

Finally, let’s cover technology. It’s no surprise that Ford has designed both of these models with plenty of systems to help you enjoy your journey.

For example, the Ford Bronco offers an available Advanced 4x4 with Automatic On-Demand Engagement and Trail Control™ for off-roading. This system is meant to deliver all the tools you need to dominate your off-road experience. It also offers an optional, segment-exclusive 12-inch SYNC® 4 system with over-the-air updates, and available FordPass™ Performance App with off-road navigation.

On the other hand, the Bronco Sport features the Terrain Management System™ with up to seven G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) Modes. Switch to one of these driving modes and your vehicle will automatically adjust according to the type of terrain you’re traveling on.

Plus, the Sport offers an available front 180-Degree Camera with split view, and an optional 10-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®.
