Ford Bronco Sport vs. Jeep Wrangler

Confidence Around Every Corner

In today’s dynamic world, safety must evolve beyond the basics. Advanced monitoring systems include pre-collision alerts and lane-keeping technology to help keep you and your loved ones safe. With the Ford Bronco Sport, the standard Ford Co-Pilot 360® Assist+ suite helps you move through life more confidently. This suite comes standard with features like:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Intersection Assist
• Lane-Keeping System
• And more!

While the Jeep Wrangler offers a few of the same features, it doesn’t have its own suite like the Bronco Sport. As a result, many of these features are added a la carte and are optional. Why does this matter? In this comparison between the Bronco Sport and the Wrangler, only the Ford was awarded a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), offering greater peace of mind for your family outings.

Stay Connected Without Missing a Beat

How do you stay connected to the digital world and remain safe? With intuitive smartphone integration, of course! The Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Wrangler each have a connectivity suite, allowing for seamless integration of your smartphone via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Still, a quick comparison shows that not all infotainment systems are created equally.

Only the Bronco Sport blends entertainment and safety with its more advanced connectivity features, enabling this SUV to become an extension of your personal and professional life.

Designed for the Day-to-Day Grind (and Then Some)

The Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Wrangler each feature two engine options, allowing you to choose the powertrain best suited for your daily travels. While the Wrangler may offer more performance output for quicker acceleration, the Bronco Sport has the features needed to adapt to every situation. Equipped with five standard drive modes, the Bronco Sport was built for your changing needs, including:

• ECO: Adjusts vehicle output to conserve fuel, maximizing the time between refills.
• Sport: Enhances throttle response, delivering a more spirited and engaging commute.
• Normal: Balances vehicle configurations, providing a smooth and comfortable ride.

While the Wrangler is renowned for its off-roading capabilities, it may not perform as well as the Bronco Sport in an on-road situation.

Leave the Pavement Behind

For nearly 40 years, the Jeep Wrangler has dominated the off-roading scene. Its optional Trail Rated® badge is a testament to its Mother Nature-traversing capabilities. But perhaps it's time for a change. The Ford Bronco Sport is ready to go head-to-head against the off-road icon to prove its place in the natural world.

Standard G.O.A.T. Modes® (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) give you the confidence to trek far past the trailhead. Featuring Slippery and Off-Road modes, the Bronco Sport seamlessly adjusts to various terrain conditions. This is doubly true when you drive select trim levels with two additional modes: Rock Crawl and Rally.

The Bronco Sport also features the available class-exclusive Trail 1-Pedal Driving, which lets you focus more on the environment. Enhancing this is available Ford Trail Control™. When equipped, this feature locks your vehicle’s speed at under 20 MPH, automatically braking and accelerating for you, so you only have to focus on steering.

Pack It in, Stretch out, Roll On

It’s clear that the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Wrangler have the capability needed to go anywhere, but which offers a carefully crafted interior that expands effortlessly to your changing needs? One glance inside shows which SUV truly adapts to your dynamic life.

In addition to more space and options, the Ford Bronco Sport also features the exclusive Safari Style Roof. This unique design's extra height allows for two upright bikes, making it easier to transport travel gear or host rainy-day picnics while camping.

Fuel Your Week—And Your Weekend

On the hunt for your new companion, you know that fuel efficiency plays a major role in daily commutes and long journeys alike. At first glance, the Jeep Wrangler’s standard EPA-estimated 17 city/23 highway MPG rating seems savvy—but take a closer look. With soccer practice, lunch meetings, and the occasional weekend escape, you may need to make frequent trips to the gas station.

The Ford Bronco Sport sets a new standard with an EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway MPG rating, offering greater flexibility for the daily grind and spur-of-the-moment adventures. Fewer fuel stops and more travel miles can mean more memories made.

So, if your plans shift between packed schedules and peaceful getaways, it’s clear which SUV is better suited to fuel the rhythm of your life.
