2024 Ford Bronco Sport / Master of Image

The Bronco Sport uses image to its advantage. So can it back up its nameplate and style? And is it competent enough to go toe-to-toe with the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4 and countless others? Let's find out.

I own the big bend so far I love it!

[@zibafairchild6185]

Same.

[@jeremytd7072]

Nice to see you getting some other car brands. I think it’s important for the channel’s growth. Nice job as always. The innuendo is 👊

[@mkadair]

Well done!

[@nintense1]

I had one as a loaner for couple weeks, and it was great. Fit and finish is better than my US made, and the size is very useful for a Cuv. I think Ford should offer it in a manual transmission, or at least add pedals to the steering column.

[@Realistick]

If they offered it with a manual and the 2.0l, I'd probably buy it for the channel, that would be an awesome spec!

[@user-in3ik2pv2o]

I love my 2024 big bend

The Bronco Sport Badlands has pillaged "offroad CUV" crown from the recently deceased Cherokee. Definitely one step up from a Wilderness Subaru if you're looking for that.

Hello, what camera used ? and is it the camera that show these colors or the edit ?

[@Realistick]

Sony A7C with some basic color correction in final cut pro!

[@damilolaakanni]

1:39 the first and second generation Escape were the best ones, IMO. No other generation can match the durability and reliability of those two.

[@Realistick]

I do think those had the best approach to a small suv out of the Escape’s lineage. The Bronco sport has some of that boxy, pragmatic goodness too. Though I can’t personally attest to the old escape’s abilities or quality🥴I’ll take your word for it

[@isaacdejong6483]

I have a 23 Maverick 2.0 AWD. The sticker was $29k. Yes it does not have the upgraded AWD system of the Bronco Sport, but I think the Maverick with the 2.0 is a WAY better value than the Bronco Sports. I cannot believe what they get for the Bronco Sports. They look cool, but I'd rather have a CX-9 or a RAV-4.

I went with a forester. I like these but I feel that they’re a bit overpriced.

[@Doc1855]

When Ford started building the old Escort, it was aimed to compete with the Japanese imports. The Escorts were super reliable. So since Ford has proven itself to produce very reliable vehicles, then why don’t they do it with all of their vehicles? Are they trying to fail? In the mid 90s, Toyota donated 50, V6, 5spd manual transmission Camry’s to the CHP in California to try to persuade California to start buying Camry’s for use on their CHP vehicles . If they would have been an American built vehicle, CA would have bought them. The Crown Vic was super reliable, but now Ford, GM are just building Junk.

[@Realistick]

I agree, my 90s mustang might look rough, but I really trust that car more than I should. It does seem like they invest more into certain models and all of the other's don't receive the same degree of quality. If they can curb the electrical issues (some of which apply to the powertrains), and quality control, I think they could change their reputation. Some of their engines are pretty good and the Bronco-line has more character/attention to detail than any chevy suv imo.

[@darcibuckle6442]

I’m super confused how this is labelled as a 2024 review and yet you’re driving a 2022…???

[@Realistick]

Good question, as I explained in the video, all details and pricing are for the 2024, the car itself is unchanged. After getting press cars for a year, I noticed other big outlets labelling 2023 cars as 2024 (even though we drove the same exact cars). The reasoning is that it would be pointless to tell everyone about trims/numbers from two years ago. That said, I wouldn't make the video if the car received any sort of refresh.

[@Doc1855]

I like the new Bronco, but the that 1.3 turbo is not up to par and reliability on both models are not up to par. The Forester and Rav are a much better option.

[@0HOON0]

Strange that Ford doesn't offer the hybrid setup from the Maverick.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

Agreed. Really like the looks....externally...but everything under the paint and style is subpar. Love my Forester 6MT.

[@Doc1855]

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic My Forester is a Touring. I wish I could have gotten it with a manual transmission. I Hate the horrible CVT. It steals the engine of hp, torque and mpg.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

@@Doc1855 We just got a used 2020 Premium Outback. It's shit in comparison to my 6MT. I feel no connection to the road, like I'm on a snowmobile on feet of fluffy snow. The entirity of the 3500lb machine being paired through a rubber band CVT is lifeless and appliance-like. My Forester feels like a steamroller in comparison. I FEEL an ACTUAL connection to the road, as if the car is mechanically linked through axles and gears to my foot and butt....because....well....it is.

[@Doc1855]

@@0HOON0 It’s because it’s not reliable enough yet

[@alengreen589]

looks not bad but at the end I would buy a Japanese Car in this class. Thanks 😀
