Would you rather have the affordable-yet-still-very-capable Bronco Sport, or would you rather pay extra and land in a full-size Bronco? Let us know in the comments, and check out our full coverage at the link: edmu.in/3uSjooT
If you don't already know the difference, I'd wager the Bronco Sport is the one for you.
I saw it today and thought it was cute and was surprised to find out what it was..I do like it..wish I could afford it loll
Still a bronco
Nah I’d say the Bronco is for you if you don’t know since it’s the better one.
Jaja the best comment ever
😂😂😂
We have the Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the 1.5L Turbo Charged Engine. We are at 28.9 MPG and have been holding at that for months. The 1.5 in Sport mode is fun to drive and has a lot of "zip" when needed. Taking it trail riding is fun and it does what we need it to do but it mostly stays on pavement....like most vehicles out there.
Although the full-size would be nice we just don't use our vehicles like most dream of when buying the "Off Roaders"...the dream of rock climbing, going 50 miles an hour through mud, through rivers and down mountain sides like we see Off-Roaders advertised in Commercials.
I owned a Jeep Wrangler Sahara (Never left the pavement) and a Hummer H3 (Took it on the Beach....Once). Loved both of those vehicles for their own reasons but like 90% of the people who buy "Off-Road" and never leave the pavement....I can't see myself dropping that much for the Big Bronco other than for the Status of owning it.
I own a bronco sport outer banks also. Love it!! Mine also is getting same gas mileage as what you've stated.
same with my raptor. I didnt spend 70k to get it beat up lol.
@@walkaway. 😂👍 How are you liking your raptor? That is a awesome looking truck
Sport mode 😂
Anything with a "Sport mode" is simply just adjusting shift points.
Most people think its a button from F&F thag you hit, and get a shot of nitrous 😂
@@SANTANA1deep no one said anything about nitrous troll.
They're both rad. I own the big Bronco and always do a head turn when a Sport drives by. They look like little Land Rover Defenders but with better color options :D
Why thank u lol i have the exact bronco sport in this video.
If i want a bronco sport are there any cheaper, less brand-y cars that similar/equivalent??
@@loganuselmann1853 I don’t know what you mean by “brandy-y”, but I’d say the closest equivalent to the Bronco Sport is probably the Jeep Cherokee.
@@reverb508 I mean like less popular versions? Like the generic brand of cereal is less expensive than well known or popular brands.
@@loganuselmann1853 Nissan Rogue? Rav4?
I'd go for the Bronco Sport. Especially as a daily driver. I don't do a lot of off road driving, so I don't need all the tech the full size Bronco offers. And the Bronco sits too high above the ground.
Just a few corrections:
1.The Bronco does not compete with the Honda Passport. The Passport can't even compete with the 4runner, despite the 4runner being 9 years older.
2.As at the date of this comment (23rd February 2022), there are now three engine options for the Bronco, the third engine being a 3.0 twin turbo V6. You can only get that engine on the Raptor, though. Power and torque haven't been confirmed for the Bronco Raptor, but based on the 2023 Ranger Raptor with a similar, if not the same engine, power is expected to be rated at about 392 HP. I'm guessing 400 because of the added weight.
i think he meant the bronco SPORT competed with the passport maybe??
Personally in a practical approach I would buy the Bronco Sport, however the Kid in me wants the Bronco! Realistically My next vehicle will be the Bronco Sport!
That answered every question that other videos had failed to communicate, great video.
I've had my 4 door full size Badlands Sasquatch soft top with the Lux package for 5 months now and I absolutely love it. Driving around with the top down is pretty incredible with no crossbar behind the driver seat for the full open-air experience. I've also never owned anything that has gotten more compliments around town, everyone loves the way the real Bronco looks. Plus I get around 19 mpg in my 2.3L which has more than enough power with the 300 horsepower. Full size Bronco all day every day!
Any reliability issues so far ? I’m asking because I’m going to order one
@@adenbaksh4843 coming up on the 1 year mark and over 10k miles, not one issue so far!
For those saying the Bronco Sport sucks, it really doesn't. Took mine to Silver Lake Sand Dunes in West Michigan and it ripped through the sand easily. I did throw on bigger tires and a lift, still costed less than the real Bronco.
I live in North Muskegon, Silver Lake is awesome, that is great to hear!
@@iNullias probably, but I did take it out quite a few times. I ended up trading it in for a 2 door bronco (I ordered it) about a month ago with a good trade in deal lol. Fullsize bronco is badass
@@NoobMaster-kt7tfhope you’re enjoying it I’m about to trade in my 2019 f150 for a full size since I don’t need a truck anymore
Great comparison and review. Best I've seen so far.
I bought the Bronco Sport fully loaded Badlands edition and I’m very happy with it. My husband and I already took it driving on the Dragon US 129 and it handled quite well and was zippy and fun.
Love my Bronco Sport. I considered trading for a Bronco but after watching this it really wouldn't be worth the price increase for how little offroading I do. Thanks
I bought the Bronco Sport in May. I really like it. It has more than enough power in traffic. I have the 1.5. Freeway gas mileage, gets 30 all day long. I purchased it knowing I wouldn’t be trail blazing. It handles really well on South Dakota gravel, county roads. It’s loaded and I’m really glad I bought it!😎
Really, only 30 mpg on the freeway with a tiny 1.5? I would have thought it would have gotten higher mileage than that. Back in the '90s I used get 28 - 29 mpg on the freeway in a '93 (C4) Vette coupe with its 5.7 liter V8 when just cruising along.
Early reservation holder for a Bronco Base 4 door…test drove it and a Bronco Sport Big Bend. Left with Big Bend for my needs. Added Toto 245 65R17 tires to it, still gets good mileage, looks great and is very capable off road.
Excellent comparison video. I like the Bronco Sport, but I'm glad I opted for the Bronco. Especially in the trim level I chose (Badlands with Sasquatch & Lux). Experienced what it was capable of when I attended a Bronco Off-Roadeo in Moab, Utah recently. LOTS of fun and very off-road capable.
This video really helped me out. My wife is in love with the sport... but i was drawn to the cool factor of the regular. Some strong points were made in favor of the sport. Thanks for the honest reviews.
Great video! I bought the Bronco Sport first edition and love it....also needed something large enough for our 2 German Shepherds in the cargo area....wondering if I should have gotten the Bronco for more space....but as you showed, it's not that much bigger it seems...plus it's more pricey.
I want the big bronco but how my pockets are set up right now I’ll settle for the baby bronco 😂
That's me bro lol
So wait, the bigger more powerful vehicle gets worse gas mileage and has more interior space? Whoa!
I had a 2014 Ford escape which is basically the same car and when I went camping now I'm 5'7 I know I could lay down in the back but it was pretty darn close like inches and when it was me and my dog in there along with some camping stuff it was fairly enough room but it was enough as long as you don't roll over in your sleep a lot and I would definitely say you want the two leader I had a 2014 Ford escape and I put a tiny lift on and I'll train tires basically trying to turn it into what the broncosport is now and I freaking loved it and it did amazingly well for not hardcore off-roading but dealing with mud snow I was in Flagstaff at the time so a lot of snow and ice and just getting out there to go camping and stuff it was actually really good and the braking system to keep traction actually works really well under light load but if you get to the point where you have to floor to get out you're just going to be spinning but when you're just cruising and not pushing the gas pedal a lot it actually modulates the tires really well to not get stuck for something that was never meant to do that and I'm sure the bronco sport does even better now with it's different drive modes I actually have a bronco in order and I'm and I didn't realize the gas mileage would be so terrible on the bronco it has a 2-liter with a 7-speed manual I know it's basically a brick but I really thought that I would get it better gas mileage I've read a lot of people only getting like 15 miles GMC Sierra with my 5.3 LS V8
Good video. I already put a order in for a Bronco sport
Not all big Broncos are capable of getting "up the mountain". It's not until you get half-way up the models do you get the skid plates. If you want the unlocking anti-roll bar, that's pretty close to the top of the totem pole. However, the Sport Badlands has an 4WD that is very capable and has a clutch to lock the rear diff. Sure, it's not a true locking diff, but the clutch does a great job. Would I take a Sport Badlands rock crawling, probably not, but I sure have taken mine up a cinder cone volcano and a number of dirt roads. It's a fun truck! PS: It's got enough oomph to pull a tear-drop camper.
Really wish I could pull the top off the Bronco II because that would be a slam-dunk decision. Did I say Bronco II? I meant, well you know what I meant.
I'd prefer the Ford Bronco Sport. 😍
I just bought a 2022 Bronco sport big bend and love it
How are you with mpg. I've only driven like 150miles with mine but in florida with flat roads usually cruising about 65 i'm getting about 36mpg combined which is way off from what i was told.
Now have 4,800 city/freeway driving on my 2022 BS Badlands. Some light off roading is in its future. Love it!
Without watching the video, This comparison to me, is like a 4runner vs a Highlander. But go on Edmunds Cars, do your thing!!!
Bronco sport it is. appreciate the comparison!
I definitely want the sport
Thank you for the video. What about the seats? I love the F150 platinum seats. Can you get those seats in either the Bronco or Sport?
This is exact this video I needed
I have the Bronco Sport Badlands 2021, and i love it. It is a really good car. I took it with all options. I must say the car is very well sound insulated, that you can listen classical music with quality sounding at low volume. You don’t hear other cars, the engine sounds is very subtle, with low very low wind noise. With music at low volume you don’t hear the engine at constant speed. The sound system B&O is excellent with real surround sound. And i like you hear a nice low turbo sound when you accelerate that is not disturbing the music. The Bronco Sport Badland 2.0L turbo is fantastic.
its about time someone made this video…thanks. that said they should have made the Sport version with a 2-door option
I’ve already decided that the Bronco Sport will be my next car. I can’t wait to get a new car, after 14 years, later this year!
The 250hp Bronco Sport seems sweet
Liked your video but have a question. The push bar on the front of the bigger Bronco. Can you get it for the Bronco Big Bend and if so where can you find that bar and for how much?
Direct from Ford. I added it to my Badlands. You can only get it for the full-size Bronco. accessories.ford.com/products/bronco-2021-safari-bar-kit
I'm curious how this 3 banger feels ?!
May go drive both tomorrow
I own a Bronco Sport and I love it !
I have a '23 Bronco Wildtrak fully equipped with Sasquatch Hoss and Lux package. It is a great vehicle but, the windows rattle and it is loud from wind noise. I do not off roading so I think I could go for the Bronco Sport.
I have the hardtop big bronco and I drive 50mi a day back and forth to work and it’s perfectly fine. Wind noise isn’t an issue, you can HEAR it slightly when you’re up to 60/70mph but not as bad as described. Maybe if you’re used to zero noise/noise cancelling cabins but convos in normal voices are easily had. I average about 19mpg but that’s about what I did with my mustang. The big bronco is an easy daily driver and glad I went with it, it’s def my beach crawler!
I agree, I have a bmw and the noise is a big difference but it’s no where near close as bad as described, the gas it’s also pretty close considering I’m getting like 20 on the bmw and 18 on the Bronco
Did I miss him talking about the frame difference? It is huge!
I was looking at the Bronco because o liked the looks of them. Then I seen the Bronco Sport so I went with what was practical for my needs. If i was in my 20's or 30's heck yesh i would have bought the Bronco for the wild fun of it. I am happy with my choice of the sport. It does everything I need for. It all comes down to personal choice because they're both great vehicles..
I have a 22’ sport and for what I do, I love mine. 😊
Nice! I like Bronco Sport ❤
For me it came down to price. The big Bronco base is going for about 55k+ in my area, the Bronco sport is still at MSRP. So we got the '22 baby Bronco Big Bend. I couldn't bring myself to pay so much over MSRP for the big one and the local dealership said we would have to wait to place an order for a 2023 model to get it at its proper cost. Wind noise is probably my chief complaint of the sport, especially compared to the Dodge Durango or my wife's Discovery. That and there is a strange rumble under my left foot when I'm driving between 10 and 25 mph. But I like it. It's responsive when getting on the gas pedal, more so than the Tiguan I had before it with a bigger motor. MPG is not as advertised, but neither was my fusion until about 5k, so I assume that is going to be the same here. It's definitely not the worst vehicle I've purchased (Kia Optima, I'm looking at you). Got it in the ugly cyber orange which still looks yellow to me, but the looks and points from those in town are probably making it grow on me as well lol.
If you think wind noise is bad in the Sport, be glad you didnt get the big Bronco lol
Well stated👍
Bronco Sport it is.Thank you for the video
Omg!! Thank you for your time and yoir dedication on your job and explaining details. You just put my mimd @ ease since I am debating wether to get the baby Bronco😁Or "the" Bronco I am trading my 2022 mercedez for one of these 2.🙄🙉🙊🙊..
Can you take it for a long highway trip without the 3 cyl overheating and going in limp mode?
When Bronco sport came out i thought it's a joke, like cmon Ford, is it a legendary Bronco? No waaaay! And now i see, the real Bronco look legendary like his previous models!
Meanwhile in UK 🇬🇧 petrol ⛽️ (gas prices) are around $2.15 per litre, or $8.15 per US 🇺🇸 Gallon 😬
Enough price difference to get the top spec sport, trailer with two dirt bikes so you can do everything better than the cost of the Bronco alone.
Nice vedėo👌👍😎🤩😍🌹🌹
you see back in the 80's there were two broncos... the full size and bronco 2...
thanks for clarification they are different classes. no need to go further
The Bronco Sport can hold its own off roading. Plenty of videos out there. For 99% of people the Bronco Sport is the better option. If you do extreme off roading then the regular Bronco. Ended up buying a Bronco Sport Big Bend 2 weeks ago!
I have a full size 4 door bronco with a hard top and it ain’t as loud as people make it sound, yeah compared to the sport but it still pretty decent, I’m able to hold conversation, even listen to music with the cheap speakers on half volume doing 70 on the highway
Hey Ford, make a Bronco sport with two doors, a manual transmission, and a n/a 2.3ltr and I'll buy one if it comes in at under 23k.
BTW, you can keep the power windows, seats, mirrors, etc.
Sigh. Remember when the dual rear hatch, open window or open whole hatch was the standard rather than a novelty?
Heck, our 1975 Chevy Blazer could roll the rear window down, or drop the tailgate.
It's a pity that you didn't do more comparison of how much Bronco is more capable than Bronco sport. Because the fact that it is more capable is no question. The real thing is: how much does the extra price tag actually buy?
Can a Bronco Sport handle street pot holes better than the average suv for city driving?
I have 6000 miles on a Bronco Sport, over mixed roads in and out of town. My previous two vehicles were Ford Escapes, and those are great vehicles, but I would say yes - the Bronco handles the potholes and rough shoulders much better.
@@GilStrachanElectrospec Thanks!!
Yes, ride quality is great on bad roads.
It reminds me of the Bronco and Bronco II that Ford made in the 1980s
Can you get one with the 5.0?
@KFC Man street legal version no, but Ford does offer the Bronco DR for people who want to run Baja and the like. The DR comes with the 5.0.
Bronquito 🚙
Bronco sport badlands here. Bought it as it suits my lifestyle.. big bronco, cool AF, but would never use it for its intended use.. refuse to drive a big bronco to the mall and soccer games for the kids while dropping wads of cash for gas and never get it hog wash dirty and smash the suspension... 1.5 bronconsport...no way. Not a trustworthy engine. Not buying a 1.5 due to name. If i have to drive it in sport mode for on ramps to highways to get up...you get my point......bronco sport badlands I ended up with. Mountain biking fisherman, and downhill skier. It was the sweet spot for me . It's the vehicle that sits in between a outback and a 4 runner. . Thats my Best description. Bronco sport badlands is a little beast.. I had the option of a top trim 1.5 OB vs a bare bones badlands...2.0. Didn't think twice once I test drove
I'm not sure I could handle the noise and poor gas mileage of the full size bronco, when I go off-road I'm usually on gravel trails, have trouble with the thought of taking a $60,000 vehicle and beating it up off-road. Leaning towards bronco sport, waiting for the hype to die down, and for the hybrid version to come out.
My wife wants a mini bronco.
I drove the 1.5 liter with the 8 speed and wasn't a fan. It never knew what gear it wanted to be in. Was under powered. Maybe the badlands edition is better with the 2 L. That's getting really expensive though for a mini bronco and is approaching the cost of the regular bronco I want.
Really, I should just get her the outer banks mini bronco and she'll be happy, get decent gas mileage Then I'll buy a truck and and eventually older wrangler or used 2 door Bronco when you can actually get ahold of one.
is it those knobby all terrain tire noise you're hearing in the bronco and not the wind noise? or likely its those removable tops is the reason you're hearing the wind noise. there's always a downside to every good side I guess.
The Bronco Sport shares design cues from the first gen Explorer. However, the first gen Explorer was based on the Ranger platform much like the full-sized Bronco.
I'll go get a Bronco when they offer it with the 5.0 like it should
I would need the Bronco for the places I love to go. The Bronco Sport would not be an option for us.
The Bronco Sport was always supposed to be available first.
If you price the sport with all, the off road goodies and build the bronco with the same off road goodies the price gets really close.
Sport at its luxury price point is pretty cost effective
Ok im not sure why Bronco sport keeps getting compare size wise to a subaru crosstrek, though I've never parked my Bronco sport next to crosstrek, my daughter owns a forester and tbough I've never actually measured the length of each. When parked next to one another They are pretty close lengthwise.
If you want to rock crawl or do high speed baja style offroading and look cool driving down the street then the bronco. If you want something that makes sense everyday driving and still be pretty good offroad and the cool factor is not a prority then the bronco sport makes more sense especially the 250hp badlands with some proper offroad tires. Its pretty impressive what they can do offroad.
I think that was a bad idea, just have 1 Bronco and that's it.
Idk probably dose not happening very often . The Jeeps spare is easily accessible. Just imagine you are heading out to go camping in you're Bronco Sport and have it fully loaded with gear and have a flat tire going to look like a yard sell on the side of the road to access the spare.
I take both bronco style
I'm 5'10 and fit in my sport without issue. You literally just move the passenger side forward and you will fit fine.
How about the Ford Escape...
Or the Bronco Escape, rather than the Bronco Sport.
The Bronco Sport is incredibly small. The back seats are virtually useless by anything older then a 12yr old.
Very ignorant comment.
Right. Ford should make it a little more longer.
There is plenty of room in this market for both variations. People have differing needs and desires.
It’s okay they both live up to the Bronco name. Do not dismiss the Bronco Sport, especially in the Badlands Trim. My girlfriend has a Bronco Sport and I have a 2door Bronco..
I love my 2024 bronco sport big bend
Bronco sport👍🏻
Bronco sport should be named Bronco Colt
Today, Bronco Sport cost $40k and Bronco Black Diamond are $65k.
Both are a massive ripoff price wise and APR's currently at 7%
Big differences, but, the sport looks better.
Shame the bronco motors have been blowing up made in Detroit. The bronco sport no problems made in Mexico lol.
With the Full-size Bronco, you can get a manual transmission unlike the baby Bronco
As soon as it’s feasible. I’m trading in my Bronco Sport outer banks for a full size manual. I actually really really like my sport, but god damn I miss driving a manual, and I just know I would love driving a manual big Bronco. Not to to mention it’s getting harder and harder to get manual transmissions.
@GDO I've always wanted to learn to drive manual transmission but I don't own a manual or know anyone who has a manual transmission so I can learn on
@@gdo3510 you can thank millennials for that. They can’t learn how to do things
I have a Bronco Sport. I’m not really a macho man who needs to continuously exaggerate my manhood. I am a female RN who needed a car to go back and forth to work (500 miles a week). Since Ford won’t produce cars anymore I had to give my poor 2015 Taurus SHO a respit and look for a new car. My Taurus has 202k miles and still runs like a beast. Anyway, I had looked for months at mid size SUVs and cars. I like the look and size of the Sport and I get 30 mpg. Taurus got 22. People can hate but it’s a good car. And I can park it like a normal person and pay way less in fuel. It does say Bronco on it so where is the problem? Bitch at Ford not the consumers haters
I wish choosing between a bronco or a bronco sport is as simple as choosing between an iphone 14 or an iphone 14 pro.
Bronco sport should be named after the much smaller Bronco II
It’s almost like when they had the bronco and the bronco two but this time it’s not a dangerous flip over hazard and much more appealing to the eyes
Difference? Everything.
Some how if they make a hybrid and add at least 10 more mpg I would be all over this car I don’t care if come a little more in the long run it would be worth it
I'm waiting for the hype to slow down, and the hybrid version.
@@johndaltroff2241 same brah 19 mpg doesn’t seem to advance for 2022 I can find something cheaper with the same utility
You know what? I’m just gonna buy both.
Do you think people need you to explain that these cars are not the same? It should be quite clear just from appearance that they don't have the same equipment. They are aimed at VERY different buyers.
a $24k price difference probably means comparisons of any kind are going to be moot
I think it was piss poor marketing by Ford to have 2 versions... I waited 15 months and finally have my REEEL Bronco but I used to see many Bronco Sports popping up and many people thought they bought "the Bronco" I feel bad for anyone who could not wait or thought they bought the real Bronco. Could not blame them tho look at the Chevy "Blazer" not hard to believe that WAS the real Bronco.
