What Is The Difference Between The Bronco And The Bronco Sport?

      Many people are not aware there is a difference between The Bronco and The Bronco Sport. Ford’s new Bronco won’t be here until months from now, but there’s plenty of talk about this off-roader. With it’s similar name, the 2021 Bronco Sport is bound to confuse some people but it has arrived at Schmit Bros and that's why we have this article. There are some differences, but the Bronco Sport really does have off-roading capability. This blog looks at the way these new SUV siblings are similar and different.

The Bronco Sport seats five and has around 105 cubic feet of interior space.

The four-door Bronco seats five in about 110 cubic feet of space.  However, there is a two-door Bronco that seats four and is sized more like the Bronco Sport. 
 

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

Bronco Sport is based on the transverse-engine, FWD-based, unitized body-and-chassis Ford Escape crossover. These are typically described as "car-based SUVs," but as Ford doesn't sell sedans anymore, the description "unibody" will have to suffice.
 

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 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.
 

In conclusion, these are two different models in so many ways. What’s remarkable is that the Bronco Sport isn’t likely to disappoint someone who wants an off-roader. It’s got capability that is hard to find in similarly priced rivals.
