2023 Ford Escape vs 2023 Ford Bronco Sport

Serving Wellington, OH

When it comes to compact crossovers, the 2023 Ford Escape and the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport stand apart with their unique capabilities and design. The Escape, now in its fourth generation, has long been a preferred choice in its class. On the other hand, the Bronco Sport made its debut as a new model in 2021. At Harrison Ford, our knowledgeable team is here to provide comprehensive details about these options, ensuring you can make an informed decision.

Performance

The 2023 Escape offers four powertrain options. Two gas engines are available: a 180-horsepower, three-cylinder, turbo 1.5-liter system and a 250-horsepower, four-cylinder, turbo 2.0-liter option. A 192-horsepower hybrid engine and a 210-horsepower plug-in hybrid system are also offered. As for the Bronco Sport, it shares the same gas engines as the Escape. However, all Bronco Sport trims come standard with all-wheel drive. The Bronco Sport Badlands trim adds trail control, tow hooks, skid plates, an upgraded drivetrain with an enhanced rear differential, all-terrain tires, and off-road suspension.

Appearance

The Escape boasts a graceful and curved profile, accentuated by modern, smooth lines over the side doors. Its octagon-shaped grille features an innovative mesh pattern, complemented by small air vents housing fog lights and unique double-element headlights topped with an LED bar. In contrast, the Bronco Sport showcases a tall, box-like profile with a curved front end and crisp side accents. The side lines gracefully round over the fenders and across the door panels, accompanied by extensive molding. The front fascia sports a robust bumper and a wraparound grille adorned with a prominent Bronco logo. The headlights add character with a round LED element adjacent to an LED bar.

Features

Both the Escape and the Bronco Sport come equipped with impressive features. Depending on the selected trim, you can find wireless Apple CarPlay with Android Auto, a wireless internet hotspot, forward collision mitigation, a power liftgate, USB ports, driver's side memory settings, a navigation system, heated seats, a wireless charging pad, a digital instrument panel, automated parking, leather upholstery, and much more in both models.
