Many people don’t realize there is a pretty substantial difference between The Ford Bronco and The Ford Bronco Sport. With a similar name, the Bronco Sport name is bound to confuse some people, and we get it! However, we’d love to break down the differences to help you find what you need in a Ford Bronco! Here’s a list of things that make the 2 Broncos different:
-The Bronco Sport has off-roading capability.
-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, but we are speaking in the more traditional sense of the OG Bronco, not the 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 because Ford doesn't sell sedans anymore, the description "unibody" works well with this!
-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 Ford 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.
These are two different models in many ways. What’s remarkable is that the Bronco Sport is perfect for someone who wants an off roader in a Ford model. It’s got a capability that is hard to find in similarly priced rivals.
