If you’re looking for a compact SUV that handles the trail as well as it does your everyday commute look no further than the 2023 Bronco Sport. But how well does it measure up to the 2024 Jeep Compass? There’s only one way to know—by pitting them against each other to see how they rank. Let’s take a look!
Key Takeaways:
- The Bronco Sport’s seven G.O.A.T. modes making hitting rough terrain fun and safe!
- The Jeep Compass’ base engine has slightly more power, but the Bronco Sport has greater towing capacity.
- The Bronco Sport’s interior tech is far superior to that of the Jeep Compass.
Is the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Powerful?
There’s no denying the Sport’s engine options and off-road capability are superior to the Jeep Compass. The Sport is ready for whatever tough terrain stands before it, thanks to all-wheel drive (AWD) or Badlands’ Enhanced AWD and standard Terrain Management System with seven G.O.A.T. modes, such as Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand, Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl.
The Bronco Sport features a 181-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder as its base engine, but you have the option of a 245-hp turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, should you need more get up and go. They pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the upgrade brings superior cooling components and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The lux Badlands features a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock, 17-inch wheels with all terrain tires, and a 1.0-inch suspension lift for more ground clearance. The Sport has a maximum 2,200-pound towing capacity.
The Jeep Compass’ 2.0L turbo with an 8-speed automatic has more oomph, at 200-horsepower, but its tow rating capacity is lower, at 2,000 pounds. While the Compass’ engine is more powerful, the Sport wins the category in towing and off-road capabilities.
What Technology Is Seen From the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport?
If you’re looking for more up-to-date tech, the Bronco Sport makes the grade, with its effortless connectivity and user-friendly SYNC 3 interface on an 8.0-inch touchscreen that features touch-sensitive controls and voice commands. Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System gives you full control on your drive and makes reaching your destination that much easier.
In comparison, the 2024 Jeep Compass, which offers essential perks, doesn’t equal the Sports tech prowess Wireless smartphone compatibility, remote vehicle commands, Jeep’s Uconnect 5 interface are featured, but aren’t user-friendly and feel slightly more outdated.
Is the Interior of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Comfortable?
The cabin of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is known to show more panache than the Jeep Compass, which is certainly comfortable but more utilitarian. Ford has put their all into the Sport’s detail and craftsmanship and uses high quality materials throughout. The Sport seats five very comfortably, offering ample head and leg room for all occupants.
The Sport also wins points in cargo and storage and is very accommodating with an underseat storage bin, slide-out table in the storage area and precise Cargo Management System.
In comparison, the Jeep Compass does not skimp on its interior, with an 8-way powered driver seat with manual lumbar support and mix of vinyl and cloth upholstery. Unfortunately, however, it can’t beat the Bronco Sport's clever interior design.
