Ford Bronco Sport vs Jeep Wrangler
When you’re looking for a vehicle to tackle adventurous terrain and take that big journey, you want to know that you’re choosing a model designed for whatever comes your way. Enter two of the biggest off-roading names in the industry: the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Wrangler.
At Century Ford of Mt. Airy, our team has crafted a thorough Bronco Sport vs. Wrangler comparison to show you how these two SUVs stack up against each other. Our friends in and around Mt Airy, MD, Woodbine, and Frederick, should read on to help them decide on their next adventure companion.

An important part of any vehicle—and even more so an adventurous one—is its fuel efficiency. While both the Bronco Sport and the Wrangler come with multiple engine options to choose from, what makes the most impact is how their standard engines help maximize their fuel economy.
The Bronco Sport comes equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine. Looking at the EPA-estimated fuel efficiency, we find a healthy 25 city/28 highway MPG. In contrast, the EPA-estimated fuel efficiency for the standard engine in the Wrangler is 17 city/23 highway MPG.
You can see that the Wrangler lags behind significantly in city and combined ratings, which leads to making more stops to fill up the tank.
As the captain of your vehicle, when you assemble the crew for a jaunt to the lake or an extended road trip, you’ll want everyone to be comfortable. Both these vehicles showcase a healthy appreciation for space within their respective interior cabins.
However, some dimensions are bigger than others, as seen below:

|---|---|---|
| FRONT LEGROOM | 42.4" | 41.2" |
| FRONT HIP ROOM | 55.2" | 53.9" |
| FRONT SHOULDER ROOM | 57.3" | 55.7" |
As you can see, the Bronco Sport offers more generous space overall for front passengers to stretch out their legs during longer treks.
Keeping you and your passengers safe is incredibly important. However, which vehicle does it best?
The Bronco Sport comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360™, a standard suite of driver-assistive technologies. These features essentially are your first line of defense against the hazards of the road.
Some of the systems included are:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- BLIS® (Blind Sport Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane-Keeping System
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
- Rear View Camera
The Wrangler also provides similar features to keep you alerted to danger and even, in certain situations, apply the brakes to help avoid a collision. However, in the Jeep Wrangler, these aren’t baseline amenities, like they are in the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. So, you’ll need to choose a higher trim level to make them available.
Now that our neighbors in and around Mt Airy, MD, Woodbine, and Frederick, have read our 2022 Ford Bronco Sport vs. Jeep Wrangler comparison, it’s time to make a decision. We think you’ll agree that the Bronco Sport has more to offer overall.
