The Ford Bronco is back. This SUV debuted in 1965. At first, it was a smaller size SUV that competed with Jeep. By the late 1970s, the Bronco evolved into a full-size SUV. However, the Bronco’s run came to an end in 1996 when it was discontinued so Ford could focus on their Expedition model. Demand for the Ford Bronco is back though.

The Bronco has an iconic look and favorable performance that has stood the test of time and has loyal drivers anticipating its return. Today’s buyers are looking for something adventurous and fun to drive, and the 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport both deliver.

Bronco vs. Bronco Sport Engine

If you want to drive a Bronco of your very own, you get to pick between the Bronco and the Bronco Sport. The Bronco is the more powerful of the two options, which may be more suitable for your driving needs.  This vehicle has a base 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that can produce 270 horsepower. You can also upgrade the Bronco’s engine to a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 option that has an output of 310 horsepower. Additionally, you have the option to pick from either a 10-speed automatic transmission or a seven-speed manual transmission.

On the other hand, the Bronco Sport features a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine under the hood. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and produces up to 180 horsepower. You can upgrade the Bronco Sport’s engine to a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder power plant.

Off-Roading

Off-roaders are the target audience of the Ford Bronco. If you love taking your vehicle on adventures through tough terrain, the Bronco is the SUV for you. Both models have rubber floor coverings, footwell drain holes, and easy-to-clean seat fabric. While the Bronco is the slightly more favorable option for the off-roader, the Bronco Sport is also an outstanding choice. It has Normal, Sport, Eco, Slippery, and Sand driving modes, plus 4×4 capabilities that disperse power to all four wheels for assistance with traction.

Safety

Whether you want the Ford Bronco for off-roading purposes or you’re looking for a unique family SUV, you want your vehicle to be safe. Both the Bronco and Bronco Sport come standard with Ford Co-Pilot 360 and LED lights. If you opt for the Bronco Sport, this vehicle has optional driver-assist safety technology features like lane center assist and intelligent active cruise control.

Trim Levels

The Ford Bronco comes in seven different trim levels. There’s the base trim, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Badlands, Wildtrak, and First Edition. Meanwhile, the Bronco Sport is available in the base trim, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and First Edition. For those seeking a rugged SUV with high-end enhancements, the Bronco Badlands and Wildtrak are great picks. If you’re more interested in affordable options, the Bronco Sport base trim and Big Bend are suitable options.
