Bronco Sport Badlands Takes 1st Place in On-Road + Off-Road Comparison vs RAV4 TRD, Outback, Jeep Wrangler! [Motor Trend]

[Osco]

Just wish the interior of the Bronco Sport was as good as Jeep's top tier (ventilated seats, better materials, passenger lumbar, heated rear seats etc.)

Been thru a cold winter and a hot summer with my BS Base model.
I find the seats great and I cannot Imagine needing heated seats or better ventilation.
My lumbar set up is perfect..

I would have thought the same when I lived in Minnesota... now I live in Florida and it almost seems necessary down here. Also pricey to pay and not get passenger adjustable lumbar...

This is why the purists who write off the Sport as "just an Escape with a Bronco badge" irk me. Technically thats not wrong, but its more than that. The Escape is a good vehicle but I doubt it could do this. Plus the Sport just looks so much cooler. Not everyone needs or wants the rough edge capability (or price tag) of the big Bronco or a Wrangler, but some people like myself want something a bit more than a normal crossover.

Crossovers are here to stay, so wouldn't you want them to be more interesting like the Broncos Sport?

Heh, and the big bronco is just a Ranger.

Personally, I think the test and comparison is rather silly.
The Bronco Sport didn’t “win” so much as it demonstrated that it is, under their test conditions, a better all around vehicle. It has excellent balance but arguably cannot compete head on at what a specialist vehicle excels at. That is hardly an issue as that is what it was designed to do - for me, that is the take away. Ford set out to make an excellent compromise vehicle and that is exactly what they did. And that is a good thing.
