The new Ford Bronco, which was recently revealed after more than two decades inactive, has returned as one of the benchmark SUVs in its segment, straight to the heart of its rival in this technical comparison. At the moment it will not be marketed in Europe, but in the United States it is already available for orders before it lands in dealerships in the spring of 2021.

How big is? The dimensions of the Ford 4x4 vary depending on the body option. If we choose the two-door version, we are facing a vehicle with a length of 4,412 mm, a width of 1,927 mm and a height of 1,826 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,550 mm. If, on the other hand, we choose the four-door option, the length increases to 4,810 m, the height to 1,852 mm and the wheelbase to 2,949 mm, with a similar width. At the moment the volumetric capacity of its trunk has not been disclosed.

The engines available in the new Bronco are two gasoline engines. The first is a 2.3 EcoBoost turbo petrol unit that delivers 270 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque, available with both a seven-speed manual transmission and a ten-speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, the 2.7-liter V6 engine delivers 310 hp and 542 Nm of torque. It is only available with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both include a permanent all-wheel drive system.

In the engine section, we find both gasoline and diesel engines. The first are the 2.0 turbo with 270 hp and 400 Nm of torque, available only with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the diesel is the 200 hp 2.2 CRD four-cylinder, also available with an eight-speed automatic transmission. In the United States, a version with a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 285 hp is also marketed.

conclusion

As you have seen, there are important differences between the two 4x4s. The Ford Bronco is slightly larger in its three-door version, but the Jeep Wrangler is slightly larger in its five-door version. But the good news is, there are much more replacement parts for Jeep wrangler like Jeep JL switchback led turn signal, led headlights, fog lights etc. There are also differences in terms of engines, since the Bronco is only available with gasoline engines and the Wrangler offers diesel engines as well. Off-road dimensions are slightly better on the Jeep, as are US prices. We will have to wait to know all the details of the Bronco when it lands in dealerships next year.
