The Ford Bronco Sport provides an excellent balance between on- and off-road performance. However, we still get plenty of people coming through the Zarowny Ford showroom asking about a comparison between the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport vs. 2025 Jeep Wrangler. The current Bronco Sport provides plenty of power and efficiency, and more passenger-friendly interior options compared to its Jeep rival. Follow along with us while we take a closer look at these two interesting SUV platforms.

Capability
Performance
The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport is available with two engine options: a 180-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-litre engine or a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine making 250 horsepower. Both of these are very competitive against the Wrangler’s available engine options. Additionally, the Bronco Sport is significantly more fuel-efficient than the Wrangler, making it the superior option for daily commuting.
Off-Road Capacity
Most people are well-educated on what the Wrangler can do when it leaves the comfort of the pavement. The 2025 Bronco Sport is also available with off-road systems and design features to make it more than a match for the Wrangler. Bronco Sport customers will get the GOAT terrain management system as standard equipment, as well as an available Rally Mode. Ford designers have included the following features to enhance the Bronco Sport’s off-road capability:
- 8 inches of ground clearance
- 24 inches of water fording
- One-Pedal Driving Mode
- Recovery hooks
- Ford Trail Control
- Bilstein shock absorbers
Design
Passenger-Friendly Interior
Both off-road-ready SUVs have two rows of seats that can hold up to five passengers. However, the 2025 Bronco Sport offers more legroom in the front and rear seats compared to the Wrangler. Additionally, the Ford SUV offers more interior upholstery options than its Jeep rival.
Cargo Volume
One area where the 2025 Bronco Sport clearly outshines the Jeep Wrangler is with functional cargo volume. When the interior of the Ford SUV is properly configured, it can offer up to 1,846 litres of cargo space. The 2025 Wrangler tops out at less than half that amount of cargo volume. Additionally, Ford has made a rubberized cargo area available in several Bronco Sport trims.
Technology
Connectivity Features
Ford and Jeep have included cutting edge connectivity in their respective off-road SUVs. However, the Bronco Sport has wireless access to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites of applications. Additionally, the 2025 Bronco Sport is equipped with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, the largest in the class.
Safety
The 2025 Bronco Sport and Wrangler each have their own safety systems. However, the Ford Co-Pilot360® could be more comprehensive by offering:
- Auto High Beams
- BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Rear-View Camera with Parking Sensors
- Lane Keeping System
- Pre-Collision Assist with Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
