The Ford Bronco Sport is a new compact SUV -- and a very highly anticipated one. Today I'm reviewing the Bronco Sport, and I'll review all the quirks and features of the Ford Bronco Sport. I'm also going to drive the new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport and tell you what it's like behind the wheel.

Before you complain this isn’t a “real” Bronco, remember that not everyone wants the big full-size Bronco with removable everything and a much higher price tag. Think of this as a far more capable, better-looking alternative to boring bland crossovers and you’ll have a better perspective on it.
Well, yeah isn't that the reason why it is a "Baby" Bronco?
edit: this was a mistake
now I get a notification every time someone replies to Doug's comment
So true! But nothing’s more fun than the pride, community and experience of driving a jeep in or off-road.
Why are you uploading this on a Monday instead of a Tuesday?
Hey
I don’t know how people think AWD CVT Subaru’s are adventurous when there are many fun vehicles like these that have 4x4 low range. Gears and way more power than a Subaru
My 1998 wrangler has more power than 85% of all Subaru SUVs sold
18:45 Thats a shoe holder. Doug missed the little shoe icon on the back, what a quirk!! Perfect place for Doug to put his backup pair of New Balances.
Ford actually gave Doug an engine this time, he's moving up in the world.
As someone who isn’t too crazy about newer vehicles, Ford did a good job with the 2021 Bronco lineup. Hopefully this convinces automakers to start making cars people actually want again.
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
Dodge has recreated all their cars so I guess car designers have run out of ideas. I bought a Bronco but had a Taurus SHO, superb vehicle. But the world wants these ugly ass SUVs so here we are!
At this point, the Cars and Bids marketing just a "sneak-peek" into the upcoming vids for us
@F Ù Ć Ķ • М È ! ! ! • I WĄNT ŞĘX • OPÉN MY CANÁL ! you have a way with words
Honestly thats the best marketing ploy i could think of
Uhhhh, that's always what it has been. Go back and watch the other videos.

It almost sounds like you are complaining about that
They’re gonna sell so many Broncos and Bronco Sports. Chevy missed an opportunity with the Blazer. Would’ve loved to seen that rivalry.
dead right. another ford that's absolutely going to fly out of dealerships
Yeah, the Blazer is now basically a blown up hatchback with plastic cladding (which is true of most small SUVs)...
This is sort of a misconception, as the blazer is the fastest moving car in the industry. I completely agree as far as I wish it would’ve been more of a off-roader than a mundane crossover, but either way it’s still selling
@@richardnavratil9661 That's exactly what this Bronco Sport is as well... But the standard Bronco is cool.
While I don’t like the Chevy blazer it is the fastest-selling car in America
toyota is kind of missing out since they canceled the FJ cruiser.
FACTS!!!
Rather have the FJ than this. Meh.
In the U.S.
@@pennylessplantation They still sell the FJ overseas?
@@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13 yes
I really dig this. It’s different. Pretty much every Crossover on the road today looks like the same regardless of the brand. The baby Bronco doesn’t look like anything else on the road and that’s great. Really excited to see these things on the road.
I love how they made the fancy alloy off-road wheels look like steelies with a gunmetal finish.
I noticed that too. Very cool
We’ve come full circle. We just spent 20 years trying to make plastic wheel covers on steel wheels look like alloys, and now someone intentionally designed alloys to look like steelies. Love these btw.
@@neonnoodle1169 also, my car has plastic wheel covers on alloy wheels.
I'm just waiting for people to put hub caps on them
@@neonnoodle1169 I wholeheartedly agree. I think steel wheels could look really good if you put a nice finish on them. I think it's kind of a shame steel wheels are looked down upon as a cost cutting measure because they're so practical.
Doug’s the type of guy to say “you too” when the waiter says enjoy your food
I do that when on phone with customer care agents 😭
He's the type of guy to say "I love you goodbye" on the phone accidentally when talking to friends
🤣🤣🤣
google user - you tell phone agents to _enjoy their food?_
You're creating much happiness and comfort in the world.
They say he goes to the bathroom to fart
5:00 - Doug being excited about a bottle opener in a 2021 car.
Me with my grandfather's 1998 Lada Riva station wagon: hold my roof gutter.
I like this way more than I should. I’m far more into the Sport than the upcoming full Bronco. I absolutely love the looks for something in this class. It’s like a smaller more affordable Land Rover Defender, and I think that’s on purpose. And I absolutely love those 17” wheels!
Oh look. Its my fav color. Ochre
WIZARD! Didn’t expect to see you here. Do you thing these turbo 3 cylinders will be reliable?
@@robertshea4652 Idk man maybe not. 3 cylinders have never been good news in SUVs. Tbh I’d wait for a v6 or v8.
Oh hey wizard didn't expect you here
Wiiiiiiiiizarrd!
@@Jasonlopez00 You didn't expect to see a car mechanic watch one of the most popular automotive youtuber?
I'm starting to think the car industry is adding more easter eggs just to see if Doug can find them all
Waiting for someone to hide the words QUIRKS AND FEATURES in in interior compartment molded-in texture.
This is what the escape shouldve evolved to. Not the abomination the escape is now
Sure, my heart goes to the full sized bronco. But I love this too.
They tried to make the new gen Escape less boxy so that they can make a boxy crossover and give it a cool name
You wouldn't buy this if it was called a Ford Escape, right
Honestly I believe this is what the explorer should have been. Only a little bit bigger. Instead it became a bland corporate vehicle.
Isn't the Ford Escape a 2014Focus with CUV cosmetics now.
Spot on review Doug. You explained this Bronco sport better than other reviewers who glance over things. Most of them are just car salesmen...you are an enthusist and it shows. I agree that the badlands wheel look more .....bad ass!
I think it's funny how tough a grader Doug is. If he likes something, it'll get a 3 out of 10. If he loves something and really compliments it, maybe a 6 out of 10. Makes me wonder what deserves a 10 out of 10.
I swear companies add more quirks and weird small details because of doug
What's whith those damn sexual bot accounts?
We've gotta report them
@@simpleinverso8628 lol im reporting them all
@@ProjectEurobeat same
I think the people who designed the Riviera went back in time to add in all those quirks retroactively because of doug
They should’ve called it the COLT. I would love to see the enthusiasts reaction to that!
Pretty sure Dodge or Mitsubishi own that nameplate.
Why not Pinto?
Actually amazing
Pretty sure if they did, they’d have copyright infringement from colt, the gun manufacturer
@@dtay8913 It would need a fire mode then
It looks and has so many things that resemble the first and second gen escape! Finally a good looking escape again!
I think it looks like assss but that's just me
@@jizzyjake6783 I guess it isn’t for everyone! Do you like any of the broncos?
I like the more simple look, and the steelies look great imo, reminds me of the crown vic, I wanna see them swapped onto stuff lol
Dough: is driving
Doug: "Before I start driving..."
I guess the H is silent.
Doug, the type of guy to say “Jumping Bronco” while pointing at a picture of a “Bucking Bronco”.
Do not disrespect Father Douglas
Doug is the type of guy to put in the milk before the cereal.
🤣
@@BobThe9534 I do that
Jeep has been doing this for years.
Note: Doug DeMuro is your tall uncle who always complains about backseat legroom when driving during the holidays.
it would help if he said how tall he is
@@mulletman65 He’s 6’3 sometimes 6’4
@@David-dx5wz 😂
Yeah, but that's while your mom being 4`11 hogs the roomy passenger seat.
@F Ù С Ķ • М Е ! • I WĄNT ŞĘX • OPÉN MY CANÁL ! stfu
Doug: I am thoroughly impressed by the handling, the looks, the cool factor is of the charts, the driving comfort, in short, it doesn’t get much better than this in the segment, and for that it gets a 39 out of 100 ...
The Freelander/LR2 have always been my must have SUVs because of their styling, which to me was the epitome of compact SUV design. The Bronco Sport definitely evokes those designs and is much more attainable which makes this my next purchase for sure!
Doug: this car is amazing
Doug score: 2
he just saying
Lmao
He's not used to peasant vehicles anymore. 😉 Personally, I'm fine with cheap plastic IF the car is reliable, so Toyota.
nah, everything gets a 7
@@bendeleted9155 Cheap plastic some places but you need a good feeling steering wheel and arm rests, minimum.
Those wheels look like a throwback to the fox body 10 holes from the 80’s
Wow can't believe I didn't notice that lol
@jayjaylenchase75 really? I got a set sitting in the corner of my shop. I might be getting a 83 gt and that will be the home of the 10 holes along with some 275's to make it look mean
jayjaylenchase75 not really.... I got 2 sets I’ll sell cheap
Ford: “Reimagined the Bronco”
doug’s version of the bronco: *”has steel wheels like from a Crown Vic”*
I skipped thru him going over the wheels cuz I already knew the options. Did he actually say they were steel? I ask because they are aluminum and not steel, despite looking like a "steelie".
I think I would buy this instead of the regular Bronco. It's capable, compact, price friendly, fun, and it seems like a bang for your buck.
Edit: It also looks pretty comfortable.
This is what the successor to the 2011 Escape should’ve been.
Completely agree. I had Ford escapes for company vehicles and was disappointed when they changed it to look like all the other ones. I liked my boxy escape with that you could open the back glass independant from the whole hatch.
Probably why they brought this into the line up, to replace the old escape that had a huge following for off road capability
"Cool factor is HUGE right now, its absolutely nuts"
cool factor 6/10
Doug's logic 😂😂
For a bland retro styled mini SUV. 6/10 is just about right.
Right!?
@F Ù Ć Ķ • М È ! ! ! • I WĄNT ŞĘX • OPÉN MY CANÁL ! WTF
Definitely referring to the cooler, non-Sport, Broncos
I was in the market for a Wranger and 4Runner and bought the Bronco Sport. Made the most sense budget wise and it was more practical. It reminded me of the LR2s and the Average Joe's Defender. It's a great ride! It's a great offroader that serves as a perfect daily driver as well!
Doug: "There's only one Ford badge on the whole car."
Me, seeing the 20:00 mark: "THEN WHAT'S THAT ON THE ENGINE COWL?!"
To be fair, he did say only one badge on the outside of the vehicle.
The bronco sport almost resembles the original Ford Escape more than the new Ford Escape.
yup ugly
Yeah it’s kind of crazy looking back at the 1st gen Rav-4, CR-V and Escape and seeing just how “off road-y” they were. Back then they were meant as more capable lifestyle vehicles. Now most crossovers are just bloated hatchbacks. It’s a shame.
Because its literally a Ford Escape platform with different cosmetic looks.
Eh that’s a stretch. Box abrupt edges yes but the design is far more rugged.
@@lrburns4 it is the same exact platform as an escape, engine, transmission, suspension, almost everything except looks, he says it in the video even, it’s a unibody too.
15 second infotainment startup. CinemaSins is gonna be pissed.
Nice one
My 2020 Ford Escape takes about that long for the infotainment to start up, but it just shows a ford logo and you are worried it might never start.
Would much rather an animation so I would at least know when it will start working.
Edit: This is on cool mornings (8 degrees C or less)
2020 what a strange year. Find CinemaSins in a car review.
Insert "ding" sound here
Same issue with the Aviator.
i saw this thing on the street the other day and just thought "oh please god, no" because I thought this was what the actual production bronco ended up as.
I feel like I’m the only one who isn’t a fan of this design. I like regular redesigned bronco more
Personally I agree with you about the Bronco Doug. I like the styling and it's boxy exterior. I will have to go and test drive one when this situation we are all in clears up. Have a safe trip dude.
"Fun factor is higher than any other vehicle like this... and it gets a 4 out of 10"
That's because he didn't take it off-road... Had he takin it out in some sand and saw that it can handle stuff like that his score inevitably would have been higher...
@@notlNSIGHT exactly for Doug, a score of 4/10 is pretty high score i would say.
"Cool factor is huge right now... 6/10"
I wanna see Doug design a car comprised of all the best quirks and features he's found
It would be a Toyota century.
It's called The Homer
@@jeffreydevoti7000 Yep homer simpson already made it.
good ass idea
I love cars with this much attention to detail with regards to their target audience. This is not a car for everyone, this is for a specific person and the designers have catered to that person.
I love that little thing. Great video! From one Doug to another.
That start-up graphic would be so annoying. I hope they give you the option to turn it off.
It's probably a distraction while the system boots up, 15 sec is a little indulgent though, hopefully can still start the engine atleast
Same with auto start
And maybe it’s me but it looks super cheesy. Reminds me of a 1998 video game. Hopefully it looks better in person.
@@neonnoodle1169 Soon we'll have to watch a Quilted Northern animation to wipe our ass. Actually a million dollar idea. TP dispenser with a screen that plays advertisements just like at the gas pump.
I've become everything I hate.
Relly easter
Great, now I can go full O.J. on the freeway. I've been waiting for this day since the 90's.
Incorrect. You'll only be able to go about 75% OJ. He used a full-size Bronco.
@@ericl3266 lol
🤣
Lmao!
It even has an OJ paint job
Butch Bronco.
Great OG signal Orange.
If you want to navigate narrow trails further up the mountain, this is the perfect size. Love the higher roof too. If I were in Western Slope region I’d totally get this.
I like this design so much. A reasonably sized SUV which still looks like an SUV and has its own face.
It looks like Ford asked Land Rover to freshen up a 2010 Ford Escape (back when an Escape was SUV-like). And that's not a bad thing.
I was saying the same thing. I was like “man this thing kinda looks like a 2010 escape” which isn’t a bad thing at all. I’m glad Ford is going “back in time” with their styling.
Yup, the Escape actually looked fairly nice back then! The 3.0L V6 had good power as well! Glad to see the boxes are coming back!
@@jaysson1151 Now if only the more powerful engines would come along with them! Love my V6 escape.
Matt Tay well the Badlands trim has the 2.0L Ecoboost which is not too shabby on the power, but also has more low end torque.
He’s gotta start off roading in these types of cars. That’d bring these videos to the next level
The driving aspect of all of these videos from the super cars to the off roaders is pretty worthless
@@derekm914 Totally. Let me drive the speed limit down this city street. You can barely tell a McLaren from a VW Beetle with that driving test.
I have owned the older broncos a 1986 and a 1991 bronco 2. They are amazing. I would love to do a video review on one of this newer one
they are so excited to see you drive it because the concept car has been around for soooo long!
In cheaper cars is called "cheap material", in expensive cars is called "durable material"
I agree ✋😔
It is supposed to be a durable rugged vehicle, not a luxury car
Right lol people complain about GMs "cheap plastic" Silverado interior and when Ford does the same thing it's "durable".
You do know there are different types of plastic, right?
@@GoatDust yes and in this case they’re just cheap
My day is incomplete without Doug’s “Thiss”

«Quirks and Features»
Thissss
DO A VIDEO ON the JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK BEING A REBADGED MASERATI LEVANTE BUT VERY CAPABLE
Also, Cars and Bids, even though it’s been out for like a few months now
I'm liking the Retro (but updated and refreshed) look of many vehicles that came out in the last 10 years. I always said I wanted the late sixties early seventies look but I wanted a modern interior and Driveline and these cars and trucks and SUVs are exactly that. Now I just got to wait long enough for a used one to be in my price range LOL
I dont get all the weird criticism for these. Almost every negative comment I've read seems to come from someone who simply isn't part of the intended market for these. The Sport is not the vehicle to compete with the wrangler, thats for the full-size Bronco . When put up against the CR-V, Rav4, Traverse etc....I think it looks like a decent package. Im a wrangler guy, the full-size bronco intrigues me this isn't my kind of vehicle but for a small family that isn't really into cars or 4x4s but goes camping a couple times a year or into outdoors recreationaly and wants something kinda cool and a bit more rugged I think it looks like a great package.
Coming soon: A Horror Movie Where The Main Character Is Trying To Escape From A Psycho Killer But Has To Wait 15 Seconds For The Bronco Animation To End Before They Can Escape
The real horror is your capitalization!
Okay okay you’re onto something
You realize you can drive before the animation is done right, or are you just that stupid.
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee why u so mean
With that lil 1.5L or 2L they not going nowhere fast
American car industry is going backwards in time with design. Well, I'm waiting for the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado revival! 🧐
govt motors? lol
looks better than a shitty range rover
Aren't we all?
A SUV with big tail fins that is ten feet tall...
I'm waiting for that too, sounds fuckin sick.
My 2020 4Runner actually has those lights on the tailgate that are independent of the rest of the car also. Definitely one of my favorite features.
Great job..I think this is right up my alley.
Let's be honest, when you finally need that build-in bottle opener you'll have forgotten you had it in the first place.
Idk man one time i went to my room grabed my reef flip flop and went back downstairs to use that as a bottle opener. Bc i couldnt fine one
Amy hard square edge (you don’t care about damaging) can be a bottle opener. 😉
@@dougfromsoanierana true. One of the most valuable skills I learned in college.
@@dougfromsoanierana im pretty sure thats why they added it. Too many bumpers with bottle cap damage on em
Doug Trapp - I don't have a beer all the time, but when I do I uncap a bottle on somebody's Lambo...
I was expecting a “ I’ve borrowed this new Bronco from my buddy OJ here in California .”
It never came
LOL. They should make a special edition. "OJ"
He's saving that for a white normal bronco
I know Ford would never do it, but I’d love to see a “Runner Edition” Bronco. It would be a 2 or 4 door Bronco with special white paint, black leather interior, and chrome wheels.
@@romulas-cushmanproject3273 Thad be awesome!
If they didn't call the orange color OJ, they missed out!!
I think I love this vehicle. It has a real personality, unlike so many other compact SUV offerings...
Thanks Doug.. I appreciate your.. views and test drives.
I'm glad the bottle opener is in the back and not by the driver lol
I never understood the wisdom of making a bottle opener a feature of a motor vehicle.
Why?
@@pgo2372 Maybe because it’s illegal to drink and drive?
@@MichaelMiller-rg6or I think they had tailgating in mind
@@MCO18 Yeah lol
Doug is the kind of person that hides his own Easter eggs and still gets excited when he finds them
Dead meme
@@keptkozy no
finally a new joke of the Doug is the type of guy memes
😂😂😂
I am so glad that they kept the classic styling!
I think the brake hold feature you mentioned is actually the button to disable the auto stop feature. It looks the same as our expedition.
Doug: "Thisssssss"
My wife: Ughhhhh! 😂
My wife and I love it , Thissssssss always makes us smile or even laugh 😂 we love dough daddy my wife is pretty cool and sexy at same time I got lucky
Are we married to the same woman?
are... are you seananners?
That 15 second animation when the car starts is gonna get annoying really quick
Rich Santoro Probably not, but I bet FORscan is able to disable it.
I imagine there is a software setting to disable.
adam sandbur absolutely, it’s a very fisher price. It would’ve been cool when I was 10 years old but not now when I’m 50 and I can actually afford the damn thing
I agree with you. But i also believe that it's just a video playback while the actual infotainment is booting up instead of a blank screen/logo
Just throw it in reverse right away. Works in my Jeep to get rid of the boot-up screen.
At 1:32 the standard engine is a 1.5 litre 3 cylinder turbo charged motor. That engine won't last long under normal driving stress
I'm legitimately thinking about getting this as my next car (as soon as I get a better paying job). I have also thought about getting the 2 door Bronco, but it might be a bit too big and expensive for me, and this seems like it has just enough horsepower and room for my needs. I'd have to try both to see what I like, but I do LOVE the looks of these two vehicles especially with the circular hubcaps, they look so badass.
The base 2 door is about the same as a sport badlands but you actually lose cargo space get worse gas mileage get 1 less seat and get the worst tires
Doug looks like the human version of Mark Zuckerberg
Looks like the human version of a hybrid
True
HAHAHAHAHAHA in a few days, when everybody's gonna see this, your comment is gonna get like 5k likes aha
Like the wut?!
Nah, he’s more like a young jay leno.
Regular car: is covered on this cheap ugly plastic
Off-roader: it has this very durable rubbery material engineered for durability
Cheap plastic is hard and loud, high quality plastic is much softer and quieter when you hit it
@@BransonBecker name 1 car I'm genuinely curious.
@@Andrew20pp For example in cars that I have used, I had a limited edition ford excursion, a mid range 2004 f150, a 2000 dodge ram 1500 base model, and a 2012 Nissan Altima base model. The Nissan and dodge, both being base models, used very hard plastic that scratched easily and rattled with my music. The f150 and excursion were both higher trim levels and used softer plastic that didn't rattle and felt way nicer to the touch.
Thank goodness durable materials have durability.
@@Andrew20pp The new Defender's interior is all rubber and plastic but its well put together. The mechanical and electronic bits are a different story tho. Acura and Lexus is also good with plastics and tactile feel.
This is absolutely the most thorough overview/review of the Bronco Sport anywhere.
I want a full size bronco but realise that I wouldn’t be able to get the one I want so I’m looking into this as an alternative. I’m a huge Ford fan, and was really excited to see them bring back the Bronco
I’m old enough to remember when it was called a Nissan Xterra
i was waiting for the med kit in the tailgate
Man, I swear you were way off with your comment then I checked the X-Terra and, wow, totally so.
I remember when it was called the Bronco II. In 1984.
Yeah, Nissan could have released this with an Xterra badge and nobody would have batted an eye. The Xterra was a decent enough size though.
The Xterra was a body on frame SUV though, this is ultimately a Ford Escape underneath. Granted with some modifications and it does look nicer than any other unibody SUV I could think of right away.
When I first saw this car, I thought I was looking at a 2012 ford escape NYC taxi
Hey Doug, they brought the rubber interior back I heard because of how well many loved it in the Explorer Sport Track truck. You should try to review one of those
This is actually my favorite of the two Bronco models Ford currently offers. Fun fact: During the mid to late 80s, Ford did actually offered a "Baby Bronco" based on the then new Ranger platform called the Bronco II.
And it was an abortion that survived
Finally doug has his favourite old school steel rims!
Fun fact, they’re actually alloys, just styled to look like steelies.
@@AbdulazizAladwani-ke7in Good question, and I’m not sure. Could be that people just expect alloys and would be upset if their new crossover’s wheels began to rust after a few seasons?
Deoug is Doug's Korean cousin.
@@AbdulazizAladwani-ke7in I assume Ford put some thought in to this. Perhaps to reduce weight and make the car feel faster, steel rims are pretty heavy.
Seems the Ford PR guys have finally seen that Doug is the right way to get a car review out there? Hopefully other manufacturers will follow
Likley yes, I think he'll get a drivable big bronco earlier than most, but the supply chain is so shot I doubt Ford has a drivable full size bronco. They just delayed deliveries again and the demand is still crazy. It's a rare instance where publicity is the last thing they need.
Theres better car reviewers. Doug just goes over how tail gate opens and if it got anything weird
@@Elmamaguebo16 you watch your mouth you peasant.
@@burgerbandit3646 says the bum
@@Elmamaguebo16 there are better reviewers, but Doug is great because he is show casing features that other reviewers don't care about. It helps potential buyers compare the differences with cars and which suits them better.
I was looking at this recently and the more I see it the more I like it. I am not sure of all the different variants but on the website for ford builds I just pick the camper option lol I would probably go for the biggest or 2nd biggest lol but I love that color and style :D
I don't own a car but I keep watching these cars reviews videos because I love this guy, hes funny he loves what hes doing and far more I HAVE A DREAM.
Can’t wait to see these things “rock-crawling” in the Costco parking lot
It’s called mall crawling
Can't wait to see people wearing running shoes to actually go out running.
@@scottbott8525 It is based on the same platform as the Escape, but there are many videos/tests that show this being off-road capable.
I highly doubt many people will go on crazy trails in this thing, but probably will give some confidence to those willing to do some light off-roading.
@@scottbott8525 basic trails that are a bit too much for a car
I’ve heard that joke a million times. It’s not met to go off-road, it’s meant to be capable when you need it to be in for example a snow storm
The good old “we have Broncos at home” edition.
Lmao
Why is the replies filled with sex bots?????
Best bottle opener I've ever seen :O
I just saw one on Convoy Doug down here in Kearny Mesa.
It looks like what Land Rovers new Discoveries should’ve looked like, it looks just like a modern discovery 2
I find it more akin to the old Freelander
@@JackBandicootsBunker I'm getting Freelander front, Disco 2 roof and 1st gen Escape vibes
That's what I was thinking! Nothing will look as good as the disco2 tho
It looks very much a cross between the Land Rover Freelander and what we see in the UK the Dacia Duster.
No one:
Doug as he’s driving: “Before I start driving”
I noticed that too 😂
While he's driving. Hahahaha.
No one?
This is a really cool crossover. If I were in the market for a compact crossover this would be it.
This is what I wish the third gen escape would have looked like
Kinda weird they don't have a snow mode. I feel like people are going to go over snow much more often than rocks or sand
I believe that’s what “slippery” mode is intended for. Not sure why they didn’t opt to call it snow but 🤷♀️
Leather on the center console but not the steering wheel seems like a really odd/bad choice.
Ford's had that 'new' gear selector since at least 2017 (our 2017 Fusion had one); Jaguar started using it with the 2007 XF.
The design of the Bronco Sport seems to owe a lot to Land Rover; the clamshell hood and the bump up in the roof, which is a signature design cue for the Land Rover Discovery. I like Land Rover's designs, so I like this.
I bought one a few weeks back. I have an Outer Banks edition. The looks I get in it is crazy. There’s not many on the road and due to the semiconductor shortage, it may be a rare sight for a short while. It’s gives you a big truck feel in a small frame. Nice equipment. The 3 cylinder turbocharge does have enough power but it does make a funny sound at lower speeds. My wish is that tailgate had a two finger handle near latch buttons, cupholder LEDs remain lit (only displays when you turn on vehicle. No USB outlet in rear seat. I agree that the steering wheel material could be better and the center storage needs an LED in it.
Will you take it on light off road trails?
They should test usability in dark places, I'll bet none of them do that.
"The theory is you can hose it off so if you throw gear back here that's dirty, or muddy, or DOG..."
Just throw that dog in. What's the RSPCA gonna do?
I've always needed a cargo area where I can throw my gear when it gets all dog.
15:01 What does he expect the steering wheel to be made of??
@@robertjebediahfreeman Soft touch plastic or leather
Makes sense. I am considering this vehicle.
Looks incomplete without a spare tire on the back
It really does
Maybe an after market bumper will fix that but it would be hard and awkward with the upwards raising tailgate
As a 2nd gen CRV owner, having a swinging rear hatch is annoying as hell. I say no tire on the back is a good thing.
@@Tool0GT92 I own a 07 Suzuki Grand Vitara with a swing gate and rear spare. It doesn’t bother me at all. Only thing is it swings in the wrong direction against the curb because the Japanese drive on the other side of the road lol.
@@irishuwould5185 I park on the left side of my garage so I have to open both doors because it blocks the right side if I have to take things out.
Looks great, like the attention to detail
Doug is honestly so funny😂 happy new year Doug!!!
Dougs the kind of guy to say “now, before I start driving” WHILE he’s driving...
Hopefully since Ford came out with a Bronco that actually resembles their old broncos, Chevrolet will follow suit and actually make a K5 Blazer again instead of what they call the "Blazer" now
I like the blazer but the heritage is just not right
@@seanade3900 yeah i like it but you can't go from an iconic K5 Blazer that's known for size and power and then turn it into a grocery getter
Chevy is dropping the bag hard rn. Thats what happens when you take fed money.
patrick kimbrell they do that to all cars no days.
@@MatanuskaHIGH that's the biggest thing that bothers me. The blazer wasn't a car and now it basically is. They should have made a new blazer that look like the Tahoe but only had two doors
Excellent review. 👏🏻
Ford has truly knocked this one out of the park.
Looks good but ultimately will be known as a piece of crap. I bet Consumer Reports will tear it apart; cheap plastics, tires that will last about 25K, probably only gets 25-26 mpg combined and POOR reliability like most Fords. PS There has already been one recall and it just came out.
And into the junkyard.
