One Clear Winner & Loser: 2023 Ford Bronco Sport vs. 2023 Jeep Compass AWD Torture Test!

Both are piles of shit

I just bought a bronco big bend sport I love it

In my opinion a closer comparison tot he Bronco Sport would actually be the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, as the Bronco Sport is based off of the Ford Escape platform, and the Escape is much closer in size to the Cherokee. Plus, the Cherokee Trailhawk can come with a 3.2L v6 or 2.0L turbo i4 both making 270 HP, which is closer to the Bronco Sport's 250HP.

Alto review amigoooooo

Wow, $46,000 for that Heritage Edition? I just traded my 2021 Big Bend in for the 2023 Badlands and paid $36,000. The Badlands listed for $40,000, but the dealer gave me $2000 more than I owed on the trade-in, another thousand off on the price of the Badlands because they were running a special, and another thousand because this was my third vehicle purchased from that dealership. Mine doesn't have leather seats, but it's the same truck. I love it. It's got plenty of power, is nice to look at, and handles the trails with ease.

Dude seriously these 2 4x4's are the reason why I traded my 2018 jeep cherokee sport 4x4 for my older Toyota 4 runner 4x4. Not only does this give me an suv with way more room inside but it puts me totally in control of when my suv is put into 4wd mode. I'd like the bronco alot more if it actually looked like the version its suppose to look like. Remember these are suppose to be retro back to the original broncos and they're not.

Well to be honest the vehicle both the compas and the cherokee both are in AWD until they hit 45mph then the system cuts the rear diff out all together.

$46,000? Add the tax and you are approaching $50,000! I would put a little more money and go to the Lexus NX which is kind of peace of mind.

Just bought a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands Edition with 55K in great condition for about 30K. Happy to give up 55K of mainly highway miles from the prior owner, in order to save about 16K on the price of a new one.

46k for a compact cross over. Overpriced by 10k

Did you say $46k wth . What a rip off.

I'm sorry, but the bronco colors are ugly. White wheels look cheesy, but it's just my option.

Put the Bronco Tires on the Jeep. They look wider and sidewall traction too.

Im a Dodge guy, so Jeep for me. That Bronco is hideous

I would be embarrassed to drive the ronald mcdonal bronco. Every time I see one on the street I tried to look at the idiot driving it. It is one ugly rippoff

Boaring

Your mom didnt wreck because she forgot to put the vehicle in 4wd. She wrecked because she was driving way too fast for the conditions. Any idiot can get any vehicle moving in the snow and ice. It's the stopping and turning that are the hard parts.

Same compass is available in india at 35k$

Does the compass not have a rear locker still like the Cherokee?

Next test. See how the wife manages to navigate streets, grocery store parking lots, driving off curbs, driving over curbs, stopping, going, and unloading groceries. These cars will only see dirt when there is no pavement. Though they will do well in New York City during the recent floods.

In Iowa at this moment you can get a fairly well loaded 2023 Jeep Compass for $34,000. In Iowa City the most expensive one I have seen on a lot is $42K. Not sure who...or where you are paying $46K?

Don't forget 2 non-American vehicles

46k for the cheapest bronco? Car prices are ridiculous high

And plenty of idiots will go out and buy one and continue to wonder why they live paycheck to paycheck. Clown cars for clowns.

The Bronco Sport is great! Got my wife a 23 Big Bend that she loves! A few things would make it even better. It needs to be a few inch's wider and at least 6 inches longer. That would make it feel much roomier. It's a tight fit for me in the passenger seat at 6,1 235lbs. The escape is a foot longer than the Bronco Sport and Ford will be discontinuing the Escape next year.

Gayest vehicles of all time. Commonly sighted in the long johns silvers parking lot

I love that Bronco!

50K for a Jeep Compass. 😂 anywho. Thanks for the review.

Please do a ford explorer 3.0

I guess I was expecting the Bronco Sport to be compared to the Cherokee, not the Compass

Jeep is the ONLY answer!

Trouble is, you have to spend to get away from the 1.5 3-cylinder, a gutless engine that deliver slow speed, sub-par mpg, and sounds like a John Deere tractor. The 2.0 is only available with Heritage Limited Edition or Badlands trims. From my test drives, none of the Bronco Sports are really much fun to be in. And for this trim level, the price exceeds what it offers.

I found the Bronco Sport interior is plastic fantastic. Reminded me of my old Honda Element. Bought the TrailHawk for under $40k.

I would like to see a Subaru Forester tested on the On-X-Offroad.

Despite the enormous price tag, the Bronco Sport just embarrassed about 90% of the car's you test. Just saying, awesome job FORD 👍

I would buy a Subaru forester wilderness over both of those.

Tires suck on both.

The big thing no reviewer brings up is Jeep offers rebates on the Compass that drop the price thousands less than the BS. And when it’s in “rock” mode it seemed to be about the same off road although I think the BS would ultimately perform better because you can “lock” the rear end but it does cost more for that and the more powerful engine. And the interior decision could go either way but to me it’s much nicer in the Compass.

Bad tires on the Compass

I’d definitely choose the bronco sport. The Compass isnt worth buying at any price; it’s just a fiat with a different body. It would be cool if the Bronco sport badlands came with solid axles.

In America you do not have the Plug In version which I own this makes a hugh difference since the electronic motor in the back had max. torque at "0" speed you should make same test on the Grand Cherookee since you have the 4XE version available in America

Aren't these just small suvs?

Stop talking about my mom.

I would rather have the full size bronco base model with a manual for about 10k less money.

Rav4 in the back dancing "peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat"

Lol. I love how Tommy and Soyfen had the exact same take on bothering with GOAT mode versus just let the computer do it for you. Awesome.

I had a Jeep Liberty I bought new in 2002. A lot of people said the Libby was a joke, but I never got stuck in any New England winter in the 65K miles I had it.

Hearing the prices of these stopped me in my tracks. Just based on looks these look like a 21-25k MSRP vehicles

The Bronco sport looks incredible
