Ford Bronco Sport vs Jeep Cherokee

Both the Bronco Sport and the Jeep Cherokee have two engine options that can reach north of 200 horsepower. You also have standard 4x4 capabilities, so you can get the traction you need on or off the road.

If you’re headed off the beaten path, you’ll want the ability to adjust your SUV’s drive to the terrain. The Cherokee has a standard system called Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. Meanwhile, the Bronco Sport has its version, the standard Terrain Management System™, with five standard G.O.A.T. Modes™. Depending on which Bronco Sport model you choose, you can get additional drive modes, like Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl.

The Cherokee does have one extra mode if you opt for the available Jeep Active Drive Lock 4x4 System, but ultimately has fewer drive modes than the Bronco Sport.

The Bronco Sport and the Jeep Cherokee are built to head into the great outdoors. Each has its own standard roof rails to secure kayaks or bikes so you can bring along whatever you want on your adventure.

The Bronco Sport has a safari-style roof that allows you to do that and support a tent when stationary. You can then spend the night even in places where the ground isn’t suitable for camping.

Need to grab something out of your trunk? The Jeep Cherokee has an available hands-free power liftgate. Meanwhile, the Bronco Sport lets you grab items out of your trunk without opening the liftgate via its standard flip-up rear glass. You can access cargo while not entirely unpacking.
 

Technology features are found in both the Cherokee and the Bronco Sport. They each have their own suite of driver-assistive systems that can help keep you safe while you’re on the go.

On top of that, each SUV has its own infotainment system that lets you stream music, get directions, and make calls hands-free. If you want to stay connected, both SUVs have standard Wi-Fi hotspots that multiple passengers can use at once.

The Bronco Sport takes the technology a step further with its breadcrumb navigation feature. Using a GPS, this system allows you to drop virtual breadcrumbs as you drive so you can retrace your vehicle’s path.
