Ford Bronco vs Subaru Crosstrek

Two versatile SUVs designed for those that like to explore Marshall, Jefferson, and Waskom, Texas, as they go from one activity to the next are the Ford Bronco and Subaru Crosstrek. Which model will be better at keeping up with your on-the-go lifestyle? Find out below, where our Marshall Ford team gives you a side-by-side look at the Ford Bronco vs. Subaru Crosstrek!

The Capabilities of the Bronco vs Crosstrek

Let's first look at the performance these two SUVs offer. The Subaru Crosstrek comes standard with its impressive all-wheel-drive system, plus it offers available X-MODE®. With this, the Crosstrek can further enhance the Vehicle Dynamics Control system to minimize wheel spin for better traction on slippery surfaces. It can also crank out up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque.

On the other hand, you have the Ford Bronco, which provides even more sure-footed handling over any type of terrain, thanks to its own standard 4X4 system as well as G.O.A.T Modes™ and the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension.

The Bronco also is capable of producing up to 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it comes with a higher available ground clearance of 11.6 inches to safely cross water and ride over obstacles. The Crosstrek has a ground clearance of just 8.7 inches.

Inside the Ford Bronco vs Subaru Crosstrek

Each vehicle offers great versatility, which lets you get a more compact SUV for easy maneuvering, while still having room inside for passengers and any supplies you need to take with you for the day. Although, you can pack up more in the Bronco compared to the Crosstrek.

Along with having up to 108.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Bronco has an additional 38.3 cubic feet of cargo volume in the back. With the seats folded down, this expands to a maximum of 83 cubic feet of cargo volume.

With the Subaru Crosstrek, there is 100.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, along with 20.8 cubic feet of cargo volume. At most, you can use 55.3 cubic feet of its interior volume for cargo. You can also have unlimited headroom in the Bronco when you take off the roof and even the doors for true, open-air driving, which is something you can't do with the Subaru Crosstrek.

After a day outdoors, whether spent fishing, dirt biking, or playing with your dog at the park, it will be easy to clean out the interior of your Ford Bronco. That is because it offers its Interior Water Management, which lets you wash out the floors and drain away all the dirt and mud.

The Tech Within the Crosstrek vs Bronco

Each vehicle comes with an advanced infotainment system, although the touchscreen you get in the Bronco is eight inches, while the Crosstrek comes with a smaller, 6.5-inch display. Plus, the display in the Bronco features swipe capability, so you can easily control it just like your smartphone.

While both also feature the ability to integrate your smartphone to the center display for access to your messages, music, and various applications, only the Bronco lets you do so wirelessly. Also, you'll get easier functionality with the infotainment system in the Ford Bronco, since it offers available enhanced voice recognition. This allows you to speak in a more conversational tone, so you can easily search for nearby gas stations, get traffic updates, and more.

Time for a Test Drive in the Bronco
