- With almost unlimited features for adventure seekers as well as very good off-road capabilities, the Bronco Sport really puts the "U" in SUV. Is this the only Bronco that you need?

He forgot to mention one of the most important things while tailgating. He didn't mention the bottle opener lol
This is by far the best review I’ve watched to date! So thorough but practical, but also done with the perspective of the Bronco sport for what it is. People forget there was a small Bronco II available back in the day on the ranger platform. As a single mom who commutes but wants to hit the hockey arena, mountains or snow but also have good fuel economy and spend under $45,000 CAN- this is the vehicle for me!! (Outer Banks)Well done and brilliant marketing by Ford. Appreciate it!
I have seen ford reliability tester bringing this car in impossible off road rocks that i thought was impossible to do. But the bronco did it. This car is incredible. It is a really great car. I hope it will bring up ford in the charts.
First review I ever see the bottom view of a car and kuddos on showing that rear seat secret cargo space. Also, thank you for showing it with your family. During weekends we’ll be four as well.
More i see review on the bronco sports more i like it. It is high on my list now.
Great review. One of the few detailed reviews I've seen on this vehicle. Very informative.
I have seen about 75 videos on this topic. Your presentation is excellent and possibly the best. Thank you.
Sometimes it’s the little things. Love those lights on the hatch and how you can their aim. Brilliant!
The Bronco Sport styling reminds me of a Land Rover Defender or Discovery.
Much more like a Freelander 2
Ford did own Land Rover for a bit. Sold them off with a pile of others thank goodness.
I originally was considering the land rover defender but the price range across the bronco sport trim levels changed my mind
I love the full size Bronco but man they did a great job with styling on the Bronco Sport Badlands it looks so much more appealing!! Love that front end, it reminds me of a R.R. Defender or the old Nissan Pro 4X Xterra.
Are you you saying it reminds you of a Ford motor company copy of those vehicles you mentioned? Hmmm?
@@turkey0165 probably more of a Mashup of vehicles over the years
Great review!... well informed on all the features available on the Bronco Sport.. I really like it! Perfect for a small family for adventure!
Just found your channel, great stuff you have a new subscriber!
I love how excited you get when it comes to SUV Utility Vehicles.
you mean SUVUVs?
I can relate to your comment about this making a good family vehicle. I could see taking a vehicle like this on trips to the mountains or camping. I think this vehicle is going to be a real challenge to the compact SUVs from Jeep like the Compass and Cherokee. In my view, this Bronco is actually more Jeep-esque than they are.
Great review.
Great review. Thank you
Great review! I have been looking for a new compact SUV for work and life. Work has me do a lot of off-roading in remote locations, so this looked good. I appreciate that your review, unlike several others I have watched, actually included information on the accessories inside the vehicle. I had no idea it had a shelf/table option for the back and a storage compartment in the seat, both things that would be helpful with work. Thanks!!
The Bronco Sport has the sufficient off road capabilities for 99% of the population.
Everyone that says that it’s not good, that you need the real Bronco has no idea what they are talking about.
The Bronco Sport has a much better ride quality and is a lot more practical for everyday use.
Unless you’re a hardcore off roader, no one needs the “real” Bronco. The Bronco Sport is actually a great car.
If you are still looking for a a compact SUV, I’d suggest you look at the Toyota RAV4. I have one it’s amazing, and in the long run it will be more reliable than the Ford.
Great looking. I want it in the four cylinder trim only. Great job Ford.
Just got mine today. Can’t wait to break it in!!
Go find some dirt!!!
I love that color
Puts me in mind of my 2008 Ford Escape which was a very good vehicle.
I actually liked the boxy style of the 2008 vs the newer Escape
Same here! That's why I intend to replace my current 2006 Ford Escape with the Bronco Sport 😊
Love the styling of th Bronco sport compared to Escape. Would love a hybrid engine though.
Can you please list all the optional accessories in this model? That trunk shelf is an upgrade right?
With all the Chevy trucks having transmission issues I’m going to lean toward Ford for future reference. It’s a brand new vehicle in a 50 plus year market. Let’s be honest gas is crazy I’m seeing a lot of Range Rover inspiration. It’s a good design nothing lacks here. Literally let the wife know that it’s not worth getting anything else other then the bronco for her needs. It’s super slick for a gen 2
I'M SOLD !!!! I was torn between the Subaru Forrester and this vehicle but now my mind is made up.
Gonna save to buy the sports badlands. That's all the Bronco I will need.
I was told by Ford that the badlands edition is not compatible with the stand up mountain bike option because the rear seat does not fold up because of that little storage space. This is part of the reason i wanted a sport and badlands edition. If you want a badlands edition and mountain bike, expect to keep the bike outside on a rack or roof.
That I did not know. Thanks!
Got the wife a Badlands area 51 loaded. Love it so far drives and rides good and got 30.5 MPG on a 215 mile trip. Nice to have something that gets over 19.5 mpg. Wish the seats had 10 way like my front tilted a bit.
Were you running on premium/midgrade/regular unleaded during the 215 mile trip?
Any overheating issues or transmission problems?
@@firstnamelastname9661 no one bit put over 5,000 miles. That problem was some reporters playing in the sand and the clutch got hot Ford probably changed the software abit. Plus they had it in the wrong mode.
@@patmason7276 good to hear. Please keep us updated on how it drives and goes along the way. I would like to know how reliable it is. Thank you sir
@@firstnamelastname9661 10:4
which would you pick between this and cherokee trailhawk for offroad?
Could the lack of storage under driver side back seat be because of gas tank location?
As the very happy owner of a 2010 2-door JK that's staying with me until the wheels fall off, and as someone who's looking to replace said JK as my daily driver, I'm seriously considering the Bronco Sport Badlands as my next purchase.
I kind of wish they offered the Badlands trim on the Maverick. How cool would the Maverick be with a 1-inch lift, skidplates, GOAT modes and the Bronco Sport's rear diff?
Great review. Not that much leg room for the back seats though. This one from the review is just a great looking vehicle. Which it had better gas mileage too.
It will be interesting to see if Ford gives this a PHEV option for 2024
Did you drive this from Ontario to BC? Curious what the mileage was like if so? Or maybe that was Blue Mountain...
Very good job Ford. The only thing i would have added is retractable seat at the rear to have more legroom if we use it in city for 4 adults. We don’t need the full cargo everytime, so having a way to gain more legroom at the rear, would have made this car really perfect
Any mention of the MPG?
Ford has a new edition of their infotainment system, the Sync 4 which is supposedly a great improvement over the Sync 3, and can get over the air updates. Why they would not put the newest version of that system in a *brand new vehicle* that is making it's debut on the world stage is baffling.
In a way the Bronco Sport looks kind of like a throwback to the 1st gen Escape
Been trying to find a sport badlands for weeks, no luck. Decided to include a 4x4 ranger super crew cab in my search… still looking. Dealerships are selling hopes instead of cars right now… it’s bad.
how did the kids fit in the back with their car seats/booster seats?
They fit fine. Not loads of room but they didn’t complain which is the most important thing. I guarantee you that if it was too tight, I would have heard. 😆
1:17 stylin' Bronco... how many of these little easter eggs does this thing have?
may i ask the name of the place where youve gone tubing? appreciate it
Hi this was at Cypress mountain in Vancouver.
It has so much Landrover Freelander 2 in it ( which was made by ford when ford owned LR )
That was my first take on it too.
Reminds me of the old discontinued Honda Element.
Tried the smaller engine and you’re right, under powered, I got the 2.0 engine
Kinda disappointed I didn’t get the cargo shelf with mine
Or the ledges to add one
Yea I really wanted that cargo shelf. They stuck us with buying a cargo rack. They did throw in a yeti soft cooler. The rack that came with the vehicle was $1,543.00.😳
@@patmason7276 thats cool...I tried to get a Bronco ball hat, they directed me to the ford merch store hahaha
@@frh-freerangehuman Rule number one never buy a vehicle that is just coming out. Lesson learned.
@@patmason7276 its funny because thats always been my rule as well. But as I was on a bit of a decision making time crunch, I decided to make the jump and break my rule. As a lifetime Chrysler guy I made the switch to Ford when I bought the Ford Flex and I had the best luck of any car I'd had previously, so hopefully that luck continues.
@@frh-freerangehuman Same here my wife had her truck totaled and we need to find something fast. Way my luck always runs can't plan crap. I've always had good luck with Ford was a tech 31 years drive them hard just keep it serviced.
Styling is the best feature of the new Bronco, but a Toyota 4 runner is much better. Take the designers from Bronco and lend them to the Toyota Team and create a new SUV using the Toyota engine and trans, then we would see the perfect SUV...
Put a VW 2.0l turbo diesel motor in it and it would be perfect.
if youre building this online and want the interior bike rack on the badlands you have to sacrifice all of these options for some reason:
Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror
6-Way Power Passenger Leather Seats
Door Handles - Body Color
Remote Start System
Steering Wheel - Heated and Leather-Wrapped
Wireless Charging Pad
Leather-Trimmed Seats with Mini-Perforation
Ebony/Brown
really dumb. same if you wanted to add the center console safe.
and you cant build a badlands with the rooftop tent.... really? the maxed out most rugged sport model and you cant add a semi serious piece of overlanding gear?
The bronco sport is basically an escape...
The Bronco Sport is probably one of the reasons why Honda is bringing the Element back.
Has that been confirmed? I heard fans were asking for the Element, but I never heard Honda say they were doing it.
@@treads2595 no idea, I thought it is for real haha
11:30, probably not extended all the way because of the whole gas tank thing. Want a gas tank and some ground clearance? There are some trade offs that have to be made.
beautiful vehicle and beautiful wife. Congrats!
Thank-you!
They should of named this something besides bronco. This is just going to be viewed by most people as an inferior vehicle to the bigger Bronco.
Men who have a complex and need to compensate for something always make this type of comment. Definitely not inferior to a vehicle that will eat a ton more gas and that most people will never take off road, or take the doors or roof off of. For most people its superior and it’s definitely superior when people can get a BS fully loaded instead of the people that can’t afford or barely afford the Bronco and get it base.
For soccer mom's another Escape.
Which one would you take? This or an Escape?
Beg to differ, but this SUV does not scream soccer mom (says this former soccer mom). ⚽️
@@oklahomalane No offence intended dear lady.
I am married to a retired soccer mom.
But it is pretty tame, not citified, mini van tame,but it's pretty tame none the less.I saw one up close in a dealer show room recently.
We owned mini vans, just to be clear, raising four boys who played soccer, football, lacrosse and cross country track.
I am ordering a 4x4 Bronco for 2022,trading in an RDX Acura,which is also pretty tame. Lol.
@@EverydayReviews2022 If I won one on a game show (not likely), I would definently take the Bronco Sport of the two.
This is the vehicle Subaru refuses to make. Turbo engine. Normal sequential automatic and all wheel drive. This kills the Forrester,
Plus, Forester just looks so blah.
yeah I'm a long time Subaru owner, but since they moved all their bigger vehicles to CVT only, NOPE
@@scottibass, their CVT is just awful. Especially off road.
Oh yeah this is way better than the forrester, more expensive though.
Here's how the conversation is gonna go.
Hey, I got a new ride!
Really! What did ya get?
A Ford Bronco.
Oh man, they look great.
Yea...but its not the one you think. Ots a different one. Looks like the old Ford Flex.
Oh...cool.
Looks like the design is trying to be a Landrover 110
this is the type of vehicle you see in the ditch at first snowfall
Isn't that usually the big SUV's?
Getting famous off of comments day 275, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙🤙🤙
“Toyota FJ”!
Terrible on gas!!!!
My FJ makes this thing look tiny.
But Can it CRAB WALK??? LOL
Nice job… and Free Palestine 🇵🇸
get out of here , that's not a real Bronco , that's a 2021 Ford Escape Sport Badlands edition hahahaha..
It's a Bronco Sport.
@@DoubleJabSlipRightHand nope , it looks like a Bronco
These American brands have low resale value no thanks.
Bronco and trailblazer huge disappointment, it doesn’t look good in person, a poor mans Volvo 💩💩💩💩
Everyone has an opinion. I get stopped daily with compliments on my sport. Thumbs up all over the place, people taking pictures every day. On my 93 Bronco I never had a soul take a picture, give me a thumbs up or compliment it.
@@DoubleJabSlipRightHand enjoy your bronco. 👍
