2021 Jeep Wrangler vs 2021 Ford Bronco

2021 Jeep Wrangler vs 2021 Ford Bronco

The Jeep Wrangler is well-known as the most capable off-roading vehicle available. With an iconic look, amazing history, and fun features, it is the off-roading vehicle of choice for drivers who want to tackle the trails less traveled.

However, 2021 has introduced a new competitor into its class--the Ford Bronco. After years of sitting on a shelf, Ford dusted off the signature Bronco nameplate and brought a rich off-roading history to a new generation of Ford Broncos.

Thankfully, Jeep is more than up to the challenge, especially with its new Wrangler 4xe--a plug-in hybrid version that delivers an amazing amount of horsepower and torque, as well as an exceptional driving range.

With so much history and capability between the two vehicles, drivers might have a difficult time deciding which one is right for them.

Wrangler vs Bronco - Design

 

Before 2021, there was no vehicle quite like the Jeep Wrangler. With its legendary looks and removable doors and roof, everyone knew the vehicle when it drove down the street.

Like the Wrangler, Ford brought the outside in with removable body panels on the 2021 Bronco. The Bronco is also a uniquely designed vehicle, but it seems like it is trying to hard to match the Wrangler's swagger.

Wrangler vs Bronco - Performance

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is powered by a 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged inline-four engine as well as two electric motors that provide a combined 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque to drivers. It can accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h in 6 seconds flat, in addition to towing up to 1,587 kg.

As a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the Wrangler 4xe delivers an all-electric range up to 34 km and a total hybrid driving range up to 595 km.

The standard engine on the 2021 Ford Bronco cannot live up to the Wrangler 4xe's power. The Ford's turbocharged can also tow 1,587 kg, but it only produces 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. However, the Bronco does offer an optional engine upgrade to a twin-turbo 2.7-litre V6 that delivers 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque but the same towing capability--and it still is not as powerful as the 4xe.

Wrangler vs Bronco - Models and Pricing

 

Starting at $54,995, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is offered in three model versions: Unlimited Sahara, Unlimited Sahara High Altitude, and Unlimited Rubicon. Leather-faced seats and a Uconnect 4C NAV multimedia center with 8.4-inch touchscreen come standard on even the lowest-priced model.

Starting at $40,499, the 2021 Ford Bronco features six models designed around the types of adventures that drivers wish to tackle: Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Badlands, Outer Banks, and WildTrak. All models come outfitted with an 8-inch touchscreen, Ford's latest Sync 4 multimedia system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

In the end, it is easy to see which off-roading vehicle wins in a battle between Jeep and Ford. With more power, better performance, amazing fuel economy, and legendary capability, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes out on top.
