The 2024 Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport bring exceptional versatility and rugged performance, challenging their Jeep counterparts with innovative features, robust engineering, and unparalleled comfort. At Whaling City Ford in New London, CT, we take pride in offering these impressive SUVs to drivers ready to explore their potential. Whether you have an eye on a new Ford Bronco or Ford Bronco Sport or are considering trading in your Jeep for something new, the following comparison highlights some notable differences that distinguish the Ford models as the better choice.
Performance and Capability
The 2024 Ford Bronco offers a range of trims that rival Jeep Wrangler trims, combining off-road capability with sophisticated handling. The base Ford Bronco trim receives power from a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, making 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, outpacing many Jeep Wrangler trims in efficiency and raw power. The Ford Bronco Badlands trim adds advanced off-road suspension and a Terrain Management System ideal for adventurous Groton-area drivers, creating a versatile platform for challenging terrains.
In the compact SUV segment, the Ford Bronco Sport SUV is a formidable competitor to the Jeep Compass. Its Big Bend trim has a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine generating 181 horsepower and standard 4x4 capabilities, delivering reliable and responsive driving. Moving up to the Outer Banks trim adds luxury amenities and advanced technology, including the SYNC 4 infotainment system with smartphone integration and navigation.
Interior Design and Technology
The Ford Bronco focuses on creating an engaging cabin environment with durable materials, practical layouts, and intuitive technology. Jeep's interiors often emphasize rugged simplicity, while the Ford Bronco leans into a more balanced approach, blending practicality with modern amenities. In Old Saybrook, drivers will enjoy the Ford Bronco Wildtrak trim, which offers marine-grade vinyl upholstery and a rubberized floor for easy cleaning after outdoor adventures.
For those seeking refined comfort in a smaller package, the Ford Bronco Sport stands apart from Jeep Compass trims with its clever use of space and thoughtful details. The Ford Bronco Sport Heritage Limited trim includes premium finishes and advanced driver-assistance features, making daily commutes or weekend trips more enjoyable.
