If you’re looking for an adventure SUV, the 2025 Ford Bronco and the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport stand out from the crowd. They are both built for the trails, but the big Bronco is more suitable for extreme off-roading, whereas the smaller Bronco Sport is more city-friendly. Here’s a comparison between the two to know what to expect during a test drive at your Ford dealership.
Comparing the 2025 Ford Bronco vs. the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport at Your Ford Dealership
Engine Options
Designed with tough terrains in mind, the 2025 Bronco offers a selection of highly capable powertrains. Its base engine, a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4, delivers 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque and pairs with a seven-speed manual transmission, giving you the confidence to tackle most off-roading situations. Four-wheel drive is standard, and with a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, the Bronco is well-equipped for whatever the day brings.
Perfect for daily driving and casual adventures, the Bronco Sport comes standard with a 180-hp 1.5L EcoBoost engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive, delivering EPA estimates of 25 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, as well as a towing capacity of 2,200 pounds. Both models offer more powerful powertrains, offering up to 418 horsepower in the Bronco and 250 horsepower in the Bronco Sport.
Terrain Capabilities
Each of the two models comes equipped with Ford’s G.O.A.T. drive modes, allowing you to go over all types of terrain. The entry model of each of the two lineups comes standard with five modes, but the upper trims bring more capability with up to seven terrain modes in select grades. However, the Bronco has an advantage, thanks to standard HOSS performance-oriented suspensions and a minimum ground clearance of 8.3 inches.
Smooth to handle on paved and unpaved roads alike, the Bronco Sport has a ground clearance of 7.8 inches and comes standard with a range of driver assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, evasive steering assistance, and intersection assistance. These features make it easier to drive in rush-hour traffic.
Design
The two Bronco models are also different in terms of design. The big Bronco can be had in two-door and four-door configurations, with capacity for four or five riders. With a shorter wheelbase, the two-door variant is a great choice if you need enhanced maneuverability on narrow trails.
The four-door variant offers enhanced space and comfort. Both variants have removable doors and a removable top, so you can enjoy open-air adventures. All Bronco Sport trim levels are offered in a four-door, five-seat configuration with fixed doors and roof.
