The Better Bronco? | 2021 Ford Bronco Sport

Although related to the Ford Escape, the Bronco Sport is a go-anywhere subcompact crossover targeted at shoppers of the Jeep Compass and Subaru Crosstrek. With the best off road numbers in this tiny but growing segment, the Bronco Sport looks like the one to beat.

This looks better than the Escape, in my opinion, especially with the yellow or red. If I were to choose, I'd choose this over the Escape.

[@yessitsme6884]

For sure, this is a proper descendant of the original Escape. But it seems to be much smaller than I expected, can't wait to see in person to judge for myself. I liked my original Escape because of the 70 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the seats down.

[@wbae1340]

I think this looks much better, very well done appearance. It would just be hard with the current engine and tech options lacking in the bronco that the escape has

[@James-il3tq]

I'd be concerned about reliability of any new Ford model. Look how the new Explorer has been a disaster of reliability issues.

[@DaddyDan77]

The current Escape is actually a wagon - shhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell the buyers. I loathe CUVs in general but the Bronco Sport Badlands is one that I would seriously shop if I had to daily drive one.

[@wbae1340]

@@James-il3tq We have a 21 explorer, seems they fixed a lot of the issues they had with the 20s. I think it’s less of full reliability, and more the overall price you are spending on the vehicle. A lot these fords are in many cases more than the competition which shouldn’t be the case. We have family that owns a dealership so going with the explorer beat any car imaginable in terms of affordability. But if it was all my money, ya I would have to turn to Toyota, honda, Mazda, etc. Heck, there are Lincoln’s that are the same price as a lot of fords which is a good option

Thank you! That was a GREAT review! My wife has a Bronco Sport Outer Banks on order in Kodiak Brown. She’s never been as excited about any car we’ve had like she is about this one. She had put a deposit down on a Bronco at first, but when we looked at what she really needed, she backed off to the Bronco Sport. She’ll be replacing her 2011 Escape Limited (FWD) with the Duratec-4. I think she’ll love the AWD, the 180 hp EcoBoost and the B&O sound system. She’ll be on (and off) the road sometime in March-you’ve been warned!!!

[@BarakTheWonderer]

@Charles Bue Thanks for your thoughts. I am a former Land Rover owner who knows many other former LR owners. And even have lived in Great Britain for a number of years. LR's have a great mystique and are unique. But unfortunately they are poorly engineered, with parts from suppliers that are also built to less than industry standards. Stuff fails, and at at a rate higher than entry level vehicles from manufacturers of many countries. Yes LR's can be kept on the road - if one has many, many thousands of dollars, euros, pounds or yen to spare - AND TIME. At some point the lack of reliability (which is easily documented by ALL automotive magazines on all continents Haha!), dependability and the cost to own outside of the purchase price just outweigh their uniqueness to drive. It's hard to imagine the number of owners it's had who finally just gave up. BMW, Ford, Tata, Now Tata with a Chinese manufacturer (Chery?). LR doesn't have many more years left. Stock up on parts now! ;)

[@CC-gt3ro]

Even ford officials were saying the new Escape was designed more for woman. I knew immediately it would not sell as well than other suv. But with the Bronco Sport they really have a winner. It is a car for men and women. Everybody nearly like it. The review are incredibly positive. It will become the best seller for Ford behind the f150 very very fast. They maybe can touch the Toyota rav4 in the second year 2022 if the user report continue to be great and the car is reliable. Right now the consumer report for the bronco sport is already really good. Ford has put a lot of effort for quality and good design they could in this small suv. We see it is a very important vehicle for them. Bronco Sport will be very successful. I am certain.

A few issues I have with the Bronco Sport: 1) The lack of a power tail-gate 2) No hybrid 3) Glove box is not illuminated 4) Incandescent turn signals 5) Older software running Sync 6) Should be assembled in the USA (it uses a Iconic American label) 7) Not to confuse the public with the larger Bronco, should have been called Maverick.

[@DiaperGranny11]

Power liftgate is just another part that will break. Besides the lift glass more than makes up for it

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts as thoroughly as you are known for on this vehicle. I dislike when manufacturers use the Sport moniker on a smaller version of a vehicle instead of a new name. Aside from that I like this vehicle it does remind me of a mix between the 2002 Escape that I had, a Land Rover and its bigger brother Bronco. I really would prefer a midsize truck like a Colorado especially the ZR2 trim, but have also thought if I cannot get that a subcompact or compact crossover that has some off road goodies since I love to hunt, fish 🎣, camp, kayak, other outdoor activities. Like the Trailhawk versions of the Compass and Cherokee, RAV4 Adventure, Crosstrek, Outback, now this in a Badlands trim, among a couple others.

[@LY-uf2bh]

Great car, great review.

[@kevinaddington706]

Just picked up Bronco Sport today as a loaner vehicle. One of the things I learned with the front end collision safety feature is that when snow builds up on the front of the vehicle a warning shows on the display informing you that is is not operating. It has way more buttons then I would ever need. The infotainment display is a bit out of place. It faces strait out and it should be angled more towards the driver. The response time on the infotainment screen was lagging a bit, but it was in the low 20’s out. Drove home on the interstate in snow, it held the road well and I felt confident it was stable and wasn’t going to loose traction. Lacked a bit in power, would be nice to have more horsepower. Did not drive it yet to figure out all the driving modes, “goat mode” was interesting because I couldn’t figure out whether it was is 4 wheel drive also I could drive up into my yard which had a good 6” of snow. Like I mentioned earlier, it has a lot of buttons for accessories I’m not sure I would really need. Lights were controlled by a knob and it had 4 settings (at least I believe there were 4) the issue was that I couldn’t figure out whether there were I or just the driving lights were on. The shift dial is not something I would ask for, but that could be because it was the first one I drove with the dial shifter. I have it a few more days with it, so I will see if I can figure out how to work all the accessories.

[@tedybear915]

Anyone notice the fog lights turning on when turning left to right @6:22-6:53 Pretty cool. Thanks Alex

[@GHinWI]

good review, but i’ll go ahead and disagree about the rotary shifter. it takes ~a week to get used to, but i love mine. the advantage is it takes a lot less space in the interior-it’s just out of the way. also, i might be interested if the hybrid 2.5 from the escape were the base engine here. for the vast majority of consumers, that’s the best drivetrain ford has.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Agree about the rotary gear selector. Get over it Alex, join the 21st century. Big old shifter knobs make no sense with an automatic transmission. I loved the push buttons in my 64 Plymouth Fury. The floor shift automatic came along with bucket seats and then center consoles...all to look like you had a sporty manual shift. Just watch, in five years the shift lever/stick for automatics will be gone except in sports cars that still want to look like they have a manual....and good luck finding a manual transmission in five years. I spoze Alex really dislikes the new cars with buttons to control the transmission.

Nice review Alex. I would take the BS (Bronco Sport, lol) over the Crosstrek to avoid the Subie's CVT. But I would also probably go with the Cherokee over the Bronco Sport due to the low-range (2 speed transfer case) in the Cherokee - but I would drive both before making the decision.

On the other hand the Bronco Sport is continuing the mission of delivering good off road capabilities (for the segment) with decent on road qualities.

[@VARITHMS]

I was sceptical of not having a two speed transfer case until I drove a silverado with a ten speed. The first gear is very low compared to the older,4,5,&6 speeds. You'd have to be in a very tricky situation to need low range. The new ranger starts in first and skips 2nd under normal acceleration. Side thought and loosely related, reverse with a duramax Allison combination is comicaly slow without low range. Anyone that have drove one knows what I'm referring too.

I'd like to point out something that alot of auto guys are missing that they have pointed out reviewing the F150. I looked at a Bronco sport up close and found a bottle opener placed neatly in a spot on the passenger side when the hatch is open. The salesman i was talking too didn't even know it was there

I was expecting a trailblazer rival. I'm glad I was mistaken. The optional 2.0 l is no joke. Good for ford.
