Interior Space and Body Configuration
One of the most notable differences between the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport is that the larger Ford Bronco can be had in 2-door or 4-door configuration. The Ford Bronco can also be had with a hard top or soft top roof, plus many other optional features.
If we compare the Ford Bronco Sport with the four-door version of the Ford Bronco, the interior passenger space is similarly roomy:
| Â | Total passenger volume | Front legroom | Rear legroom | Front headroom | Rear headroom |
| Ford Bronco | 108.2 cubic feet | 43.1 inches | 36.3 inches | 43.3 inches | 41.1 inches |
| Ford Bronco Sport | 105.7 cubic feet | 42.4 inches | 36.9 inches | 41.5 inches | 41.7 inches |
Cargo capacities are also generous. The Ford Bronco Sport can fit 32.5 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats and 65.2 cubic feet total. The 4-door Bronco can fit 38.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 83 cubic feet total.
Safety Technology
The 2021 Ford Bronco and 2021 Ford Bronco Sport have many overlapping safety technologies that have been developed and refined by Ford engineers over the years. Most of these technologies are compiled into the available Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ suite. There's also Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ Assist +, but if you stick with the regular suite, you can expect features such as:
- Lane-Keeping System
- BLIS® (blind spot information system) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Bumping up to the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist + system in the Ford Bronco Sport results in the following safety additions:
- Evasive Steering Assist
- Adaptative Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering
Off-Roading Capability
The Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport are SUVs you can confidently take over the most rugged, uneven terrain. The well-thought-out design of each vehicle gives them a leg-up when attempting to wade through water or climb over a rocky slope:Â Â Â
| Â | Maximum ground clearance | Maximum Water Fording Depth |
| Ford Bronco | 11.6 inches (2-door) or 11.5 inches (4-door) | 33.5 inches |
| Ford Bronco Sport | 8.8 inches | 23.6 inches |
Plus, each SUV can be enjoyed with G.O.A.T. Modesâ„¢ technology, a system that lets you move through various drive modes by turning a knob. In certain trims, the available modes include Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl. The base modes you can switch between are:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
