So, you’re thinking of trading in your Ford Bronco for the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. Or perhaps you’re shopping around and wondering what distinguishes these two auto beasts. Read on to discover the differences that make each entry in Ford’s iconic Bronco line distinct.

2021 Ford Bronco Sport On-the-Road Commutes or Bronco-Style Off-Road Fun

Both makes were unveiled with impressive features. The Sport is a brand-new line that brings the benefits of the Bronco to daily driving experiences. While the Bronco has earned a well-deserved reputation as an off-road monster, the Sport’s size, handling, and four-door-only design make it ideal for trips to work or trips to your local store.

Size Matters

In today’s auto world, sportier often equates with smaller. Bronco’s Sport line is no exception in this regard. In comparison to the Bronco’s maximum size dimensions of 190.5 inches in length, 79.3 inches in width, and 75.2 inches in height, the Sport’s top measurements are t17.3 inches long, 74 inches wide, and 74 inches high.

Cost Efficiency

The Sport is out of the gates with a starting price of around $27,000. Meanwhile, the Bronco comes in at a minimum of roughly $28,500 with a maximum price for the Wildtrak model at nearly $48,000. The priciest member of the Sport line, on the other hand, is the First Edition at just over $38,000.

Model Variables

Both the traditional Bronco and the Sport have the following models: Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands. The Badlands offers premium off-road capabilities in both lines. The Black Diamond and Wildtrak are absent from the Sport line. Bronco Sports also switch the Wildtrak for the First Edition as the most luxury model available.

Interior Accents

Both models come with standard infotainment features, but the Bronco boasts a few more interior design options. Ebony is the standard color for the Sport. The new Bronco, meanwhile, offers up white and gray combos with red accents or brown and black with yellow accents.

Exterior Contrasts

As mentioned, the Sport arrives in a smaller package with only four-door options. The Bronco, in contrast, is larger and more rugged in appearance. You also get mostly two-door options with this off-roader. While most color choices are the same, the reds and blues are slightly different in each make. In addition, the Sport serves up a new color offering called Kodiak Brown.

Power-Ups

With its greater emphasis on power, the traditional Bronco predictably comes equipped with a heftier engine with 270-horsepower. In contrast, the Sport holds a 181-horsepower engine, although you can upgrade to 245-horsepower with the premium models. Your engine will also come in EcoBoost three-cylinder form with the Sport, whereas the Bronco is charged with a four-cylinder engine.

Hauling and Towing

If you’re betting on strength, the senior Bronco has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and a payload in the range of under 1,400 pounds. For comparison, the baby Bronco Sport can tow as much as 2,200 pounds with a payload of about 1,000 pounds.
