Ford Bronco vs Ford Bronco Sport
The Ford Bronco vs. the Ford Bronco Sport: What's the difference between these two Ford SUVs?
If you're in a hurry and need to know which of these two bold SUVs is best for your lifestyle, here's the breakdown: The Ford Bronco is the larger and more rugged of these two SUVs, made for Pennsylvania shoppers who're looking to do some serious off-road adventuring, while the Ford Bronco Sport is slightly smaller, more comfortable for day-to-day driving and light off-road excursions.
That being said, there's a wealth of unique differences to delve into with these two models. So, if you want to be certain you're getting the right new Ford SUV for your needs, we'd love to get into the weeds and explore all the unique advantages to buying or leasing a new Ford Bronco or a new Ford Bronco Sport from Ciocca Ford of Souderton.
Pricing
Firstly, let us say that regardless of whether you opt for the new Ford Bronco or Ford Bronco Sport, you'll find competitive financing deals in spades here at Ciocca Ford of Sourderton. We serve shoppers from Quakertown to Harleysville every day, so finding the right lease deal or finance incentive for your budget is first on our list of priorities.
That being said, while the retail price can vary depending upon which trim you choose, the Ford Bronco Sport is slightly more affordable overall than the Ford Bronco. So, if you're looking for the lowest barrier to entry into our Ford SUV lineup, you should definitely consider the new Ford Bronco Sport. However, if you're willing to spend a bit extra for added capability and versatility, we think you'll find that the Ford Bronco is an attractive value proposition in its own right.
Exterior Design
Take just a glance at the new Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport side by side and you'll notice the main difference between the two is size. The Ford Bronco is considerably larger than the Ford Bronco Sport. As a body-on-frame SUV, the new Ford Bronco has a considerably larger wheelbase than the unibody Ford Bronco Sport. And with that difference in stature, you'll find that the Ford Bronco has a much more commanding road presence, standing taller than the Ford Bronco Sport and boasting a wider track to boot.
However, while the Ford Bronco Sport may be smaller, that actually works to its advantage in some cases. For example, if you've ever found yourself stuck in heavy traffic near the Quakertown Farmer's Market, having a smaller SUV like the Ford Bronco Sport can make it easier to negotiate your way around tight spaces or maneuver into streetside parking, so take that into account when making your decision.
It's also worth noting that the Ford Bronco can be had in both two-door and four-door variants, while the Ford Bronco Sport only comes in a Four Door body style.
Finally, the Ford Bronco features a removable soft top and removable doors, making it perfect for open air driving in the summertime around Lake Lenape Park in nearby Sellersville, PA. You won't find a removable roof or doors on the equipment list of the new Ford Bronco Sport, but it can be had with a sunroof.
Interior Design
Take a peek into the cabin of both the new Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport and you'll notice both similarities and differences. Both are clad in durable yet high-quality materials, so whether you're getting in from a day of hiking or just a day on the links at the Lederach Golf Course in Harleysville, you won't have to worry about excess wear and tear on the upholstery from the elements.
That said, despite being slightly shorter than the Ford Bronco, the Ford Bronco Sport offers a bit more head room up front, so keep that in mind if you're a taller driver. That said, the new Ford Bronco still has plenty of headroom itself, not to mention more overall legroom in its four-door model when compared with the Ford Bronco Sport.
In terms of seating capacity, the new Ford Bronco Sport can comfortably seat up to five passengers, while the four-door Ford Bronco matches that number and the two-door Ford Bronco accommodates up to four passengers.
As for ride quality, the new Ford Bronco Sport is slightly more comfortable on longer drives as a unibody SUV, while the Ford Bronco has a ride quality closer to most pickup trucks with its body-on-frame construction.
Performance
Take a look under the hood of both of these Ford SUVs and you'll note some key difference between their power plants. The Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, which can be upgraded to a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine for Lansdale, PA shoppers who're looking for an SUV with a bit more gusto.
By comparison, the Ford Bronco is much more powerful out of the gate and at the top end of its trim range. From the 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to the monstrous 418-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, the new Ford Bronco has brawn to spare for shopper who're looking to take on serious off-road adventures.
That being said, the Ford Bronco Sport does boast better overall fuel economy than its muscular sibling, achieving up to an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city / 28 mpg highway, so it's better for folks who want an SUV that they can drive in Souderton, PA during the week without worrying about a major bill at the pump.
Capability
Both the new Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport are great at tackling rough terrain or driving on the roads in inclement weather here in Pennsylvania. With standard advanced 4x4, the exceptional HOSS™ suspension system, and an available Terrain Management System™ with seven available G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport can handle everything from muddy slopes to fording streams if you so choose.
That being said, as a body-on-frame SUV with more rugged equipment available across its trim range, the new Ford Bronco does a bit better in serious off-road environments. With the available HOSS 2.0™, HOSS 3.0™, or HOSS 4.0™ suspension systems, electronic locking front and rear differentials, and a front stabilizer bar disconnect, the new Ford Bronco can confidently tackle everything from rock crawling to desert running with confidence.
Plus, the Ford Bronco boasts better overall towing capacity, allowing it to pull up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, so it can handle most camping trailers for the most adventurous shoppers. However, with the ability to tow up to 2,200 pounds when properly equipped, the new Ford Bronco Sport is still great if you want to take your small boat out to Nockamixon State Park in Quakertown, PA on the weekend.
