The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Rises Above Its Off-Road Rivals
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport outshines midsize other SUVs in its class, clearly stepping out front of the pack when placed bumper-to-bumper against the competition. We'll take a look at the powertrain, cargo space, and towing capacity of the new Ford Bronco to see how it stacks up against off-road rivals.
You can check out the growing new Ford Bronco Sport inventory at Hixson Ford of Leesville to see what this standout midsize SUV offers. But first, let's see why it outshines top competitors.
Ford Bronco Sport Vs. Jeep Compass
- The Bronco Sport offers both the 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine that delivers 181 horsepower or 250 horsepower, respectively, outclassing the Compass' lone 2.4-liter engine, which outputs 200 horsepower. The turbocharged performance of the Bronco Sport gives it better acceleration and off-road capabilities.
- With 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, the Bronco Sport offers significantly more room for gear and adventure essentials compared to the 27.2 cubic feet of the Compass.
- The Bronco Sport tows up to 2,200 pounds, offering a slight edge over the Compass's 2,000-pound towing max. This makes the Bronco Sport more versatile for towing small trailers, boats, or extra gear.
Ford Bronco Sport Vs. Toyota RAV4
- The Bronco Sport delivers a turbocharged engine that offers enhanced off-road handling and better performance on uneven terrain, giving it an advantage over the RAV4's naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine, which is focused more on fuel efficiency than rugged power. For off-road enthusiasts, the Bronco Sport boasts an EcoBoost® 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter engine - the latter of which delivers 47 additional horsepower - and is designed to deliver more responsive control and power on any terrain.
- While the RAV4 edges out the Bronco Sport in overall cargo capacity with 37.5 cubic feet, the Bronco Sport's 32.5 cubic feet are designed with versatility in mind. The Bronco's innovative storage solutions, like the exclusive MOLLE Straps System, under-seat compartments, and multi-level loading options, make it more practical for adventure gear, despite the slightly smaller volume.
- Both the Bronco Sport and RAV4 offer similar towing capacities at 2,200 pounds, but the Bronco Sport's more rugged build and superior off-road capability make it better suited for towing through tougher environments. Conquer Vernon Parish trails outside Leesville and explore Louisiana bayous in a Ford Bronco Sport, thanks to the SUV's Terrain Management System™ that offers five exclusive G.O.A.T. Modes®.
Ford Bronco Sport Vs. Subaru Forester
- The Bronco Sport provides the turbocharged EcoBoost® engine that delivers more torque - 277 pound-feet - than the Forester's 2.5-liter flat-four (178 pound-feet), giving it a noticeable edge in power, particularly when climbing steep trails or navigating rough off-road conditions.
- While the Subaru Forester offers 31.1 cubic feet of cargo space, the Bronco Sport slightly surpasses it with 32.5 cubic feet. This extra storage space, combined with the flexible layout options and exclusive safari style roof for the Bronco Sport, makes it a better choice for storing camping gear, outdoor equipment, or luggage for long trips.
- The Bronco Sport takes a clear lead in towing, with 2,200 pounds of capability compared to 1,500 pounds for the Forester. For drivers who need to tow small trailers or recreational vehicles, the Bronco Sport provides significantly more versatility and strength for those weekend getaways.
