Bronco Sport tops Consumer Reports' "Most Reliable Compact SUV" list

[Larryjaquins]

Yeah, especially surprising for the BS with it being a first year model. The vast majority of the vehicles on that list have been out for at least one model year. I believe the only all-new-for-2021 model was the Tucson.

Tucson aren’t new. They have been out for awhile.

Thats great to see! But I have wonder why the BS is ranked so highly yet the Escape is so low considering they share a platform and engines?

The current, fourth generation has only been out for a year.

We own both and I can tell each and everyone of you bronco owners they are not even close to the same , they share some parts and electronic pieces and not much else. I have had my first edition for about 10 months now and absolutely not one complaint and we have owned are 2017 escape since new in 2017 without any complaints .

You have the previous generation Escape...I believe this was in reference to the 2020+ Escape, which much different than 2019-.

Actually both engines are very different, escapes engine is a 1.5 4 cylinder unlike the bronco 1.5 3 cylinder. And the bronco badlands and first edition 2.0 differs with the size of the turbos .

Yes , I stand corrected . Thanks. I did not know that they used the 1.5 3 cylinder in the 2020,2021 escape.

Yup! The 2020+ Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Lincoln Corsair all share the same platform

(Also props for Ford for such a versatile platform that you'd have a hard time telling is the same except for a few shared interior bits maybe)

I'm about to pass 10k on my BL within the next week or two and so far, no issues.

Remember when Consumer Reports pegged the Bronco Sport as the expected least reliable Ford?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Guess Ford's check hadn't cleared the Consumer Report AP office in April...

How’s you mileage now , compared to when you first purchased. Mine is 27 highway 17.5 city hills of Pittsburgh.

Not the same, the vehicle, gearing, engine, suspension, different set up.
Change one link then you get something else.

That is the point I was making, I didn’t think it was the same .
