Ford Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler: Power & Performance Specs
Before we review anything else, it's important that we dive deep into what lies under the hoods of both the 2021 Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. When opting for the base trim of the Bronco, you'll find a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine. You can choose either a 2-door or 4-door model along with either a standard 7-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic transmission.
If you're someone who thrives off of a powerful and smooth ride, you have the freedom to choose a different available engine option that can deliver just that. Select the available 2.7L EcoBoost® engine, that when mated to the 10-speed transmission, can crank out a whopping 310 horsepower.
On the other hand, we have the Jeep Wrangler. There's no denying its standard 3.6L V6 engine is incredible, however, your transmission choices are much less impressive; either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Advanced Technology Highlights
While some of the design features of the 2021 Ford Bronco might be nostalgic, it's quite the opposite in regard to the advanced technology amenities this SUV brings to the table. In fact, one look inside the cabin, the word that might pop into your head would be futuristic. The high-quality standard 8-inch touchscreen display connects you to some amazing features thanks to the SYNC® 4 system. This system gives you access to popular features like Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and much more.
As for the Jeep Wrangler, the standard trim level is quite unimpressive in terms of advanced technology. You'll only find a 5-inch touchscreen display, and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ are not standard.
Who Has the Better Interior?
While the exterior of the 2021 Ford Bronco is completely captivating, so is the interior. You might be getting down and dirty during your off-roading adventures, but you'll be doing it in style thanks to jaw- dropping seating choices. Choose from available leather-trimmed durable cloth, and marine-grade vinyl seats. You'll be happy to know that getting messy doesn't mean you have to pay the price; you'll have the option of rubberized washable floors with integrated drains.
When it comes to interior style, the Jeep Wrangler is undeniably rugged. However, when it comes to other interior features, the Bronco has the upper hand. For instance, the standard Wrangler comes with crank windows and manual door locks, whereas the Bronco gives its drivers power door locks and power windows on its standard trim, to make your driving experience totally hassle-free.
