PASSENGERS
HORSEPOWER
PASSENGER VOLUME
All adventures have one thing in common: the need for power. After all, your vehicle should put some pep in your step, both for common commutes and weekend trips into nature. Both the Ford and the Jeep have power, and they know how to use it. Which SUV provides the more engaging performance overall, though?
The Ford Bronco Sport can be outfitted with two separate engines:
- 1.5L EcoBoost®: 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque
- Available 2.0L EcoBoost®: 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque
The Ford’s base engine provides a peppy performance, which is very similar to the Jeep’s singular engine. Thanks to the Renegade’s 1.3L engine, drivers can experience 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. However, if you want to experience real speed and hauling capabilities, the Bronco Sport is available with a larger engine.
The Bronco Sport and the Renegade can perform on the road and off the road thanks to the standard 4x4 systems on either SUV. Plus, both models are built with high ground clearance and water-fording capabilities to make sure you leave your adventure unscathed.
Ford takes your next adventure to another level with its standard G.O.A.T. Modes™ system, which features five drive modes:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
On the other hand, the Renegade offers a comparable system: the available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. This feature utilizes similar modes to the Ford. However, for an enhanced ride, two additional drive modes are available on the Bronco Sport: Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl.
When you need to seat your party of five, you can choose either the Ford Bronco Sport or the Jeep Renegade. These SUVs provide spacious cabins to accommodate both tall and small passengers and drivers. With extra room on board, everyone can kick back and relax and enjoy the adventure ahead.
When taking a closer look at the Ford and the Jeep, their interior dimensions are similar. However, the Bronco Sport edges out the Renegade slightly. For starters, the Ford features 105.7 cubic feet of passenger space, while the Jeep taps out at 100 cubic feet.
How does that pan out between two rows? Let’s peek:
|
|
Ford Bronco Sport
|
Jeep Renegade
|
|---|---|---|
| Headroom (front/rear) | 41.5/41.7 inches | 41.1/40.5 inches |
| Legroom (front/rear) | 42.4/36.9 inches | 41.2/35.1 inches |
| Hip Room (front/rear) | 55.2/53.4 inches | 53.1/51.9 inches |
| Shoulder Room (front/rear) | 57.3/55.6 inches | 55.9/55.1 inches |
On top of more wiggle room inside the Bronco Sport, you’ll also have more cargo space to work with!
- Ford Cargo Space (behind first row/second row): 65.2/32.5 cubic feet
- Jeep Cargo Space (behind first row/second row): 50.8/18.5 cubic feet
The Renegade offers plenty of space for your equipment. However, if you need more room for long fishing poles or bulky camping gear, you’ll take a liking to the Ford. Plus, its standard flip-up rear glass and safari-style roof add extra packing convenience.
Whether you’ve got the highway or a rocky ascent ahead, the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Renegade will provide confidence for your every move. Each SUV is equipped with active and passive safety systems to make you feel calm, cool, and collected behind the wheel. Which SUV protects you better, though?
On board the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Renegade, you’ll find comprehensive safety suites! In fact, the Jeep’s driver-assistance features are quite like these Ford Co-Pilot360™ systems:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane-Keeping System
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
- Rear View Camera
Picture this: You’re driving on the highway and are quickly approaching a slow or stopped vehicle. You need to take immediate action. What do you do? You could slam on the brakes if the distance between you and the other vehicle is adequate. You can also let the Bronco Sport’s available Evasive Steering Assist take the lead.
This system can help you maneuver around the vehicle in your path by providing quick-acting steering support.
The Jeep Renegade’s safety suite helps you act on the fly. In the Ford Bronco Sport, it does it for you.
The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Renegade make a solid comparison. Both models have proven to be reliable adventure companions. However, if enhanced power, more interior space, and intuitive safety is what you’re looking to add to your Hondo, Castroville, and Uvalde, TX journeys, choose the Ford Bronco Sport.
