2021 Jeep Cherokee vs 2021 Ford Bronco Sport
When it comes to dependable off-road capabilities in a compact SUV, few can hold a candle to the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. Equipped with reliable mechanics, ample cabin amenities, and reliable safety features, this model is more than ready to tackle whatever the day has in store for you. To demonstrate our point, we at Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge have compiled this overview that pits the Cherokee against the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport.
Safety
Whether you plan to use your SUV for weekend adventures or weekday errands, you can count on the 2021 Cherokee to keep you out of harm’s way. Though it shares several standard safety features with the 2021 Bronco Sport, such as Blind Spot Monitoring1 and Lane Departure Warning2, the Jeep has a few advancements that you won’t find in the Ford. For instance, select models are available with ParkSense® Rear Park Assist with Full Stop3, which brings you to a halt when backing into a spot at Sauk Trail Reservoir. That way, you can avoid coming into contact with a wall or barrier. And for more difficult maneuvers, trust that optional Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist3 will be there to handle the steering while you work the gas and gear shift.
Interior
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee continues to prove that it’s a high-tech SUV when we direct our focus to its interior. To begin, you can equip this model with a 8.4-inch touchscreen to make accessing media and other functions easier than ever before. The same can’t be said about the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, since it only offers an 8.0-inch infotainment system as an upgrade. To make matters worse, this model also lacks SiriusXM® Guardian4—something you’ll find on certain versions of the Cherokee to help with remote access for enhanced convenience. Even when we address comfort, the Jeep still comes out on top, thanks in part to its optional ventilated front-row seats. The Ford, however, doesn’t offer this amenity, which might make summer drives rather uncomfortable.
Performance
At last, it’s finally time to see how the Jeep Cherokee and Ford Bronco Sport perform. Though they both offer 181 horsepower with their standard engines, the former starts to build up a lead when we examine its optional systems. For instance, its available 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder powertrain easily tops its competitor’s similar machinery, churning out 271 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque at a remarkable fuel economy rating of 23/31 MPG city/hwy5. When the Ford is equipped with its 2.0L turbo engine, you might be disappointed with its 250 horsepower, 277 lb.-ft. of torque, and 21/26 MPG city/hwy6. As if that weren’t bad enough, the Bronco Sport also only supplies a 2,200-lb. maximum trailering rating7, whereas the Cherokee arms you with a 4,500-lb. maximum towing capacity7.
Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge is certain you’ll agree that between the 2021 Jeep Cherokee vs 2021 Ford Bronco Sport near Frankfort, IL, the former is superior. To learn more about this well-rounded SUV, contact us today and chat with a staff member!
