If common internet knowledge is to be believed, the ultimate off-roader is a body-on-frame vehicle with a big engine. However, the is no one size fits all solution, and some vehicle manufacturers have figured that out. The full-size body-on-frame Ford Bronco is coming, but before it does, its smaller unibody chassis crossover sibling is going on sale, and Ford believes it will be a bigger seller than the full-size SUV. The Bronco Sport comes with either an efficient 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a small footprint but a roomy cabin, and serious off-road chops. That means the Bronco Sport should make for a great daily driver, family vehicle, and something that offers plenty of capability for those seeking adventure.
While the Bronco Sport shares a platform with the Ford Escape, it only comes with all-wheel drive, has a new suspension design, and can be equipped with a clever twin-clutch differential and terrain management system. To show us that the Bronco Sport has genuine off-road credibility, Ford sanitized some vehicles and led us through dusty, tight, and technical trails in the Hungry Valley Vehicular Recreation area, north of Los Angeles in California.
