Ford says its intended Bronco Sport buyers are more focused on off-road ability, so some degree of suspension complexity is involved in the tow rating, too.īoth the Escape and Bronco Sport get a set of drive modes, but the basic Normal or Sport found in the Escape transforms into a terrain-management system in the Bronco Sport with Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand modes-adding on Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes on the most off-road-ready versions. (With the turbo-3, both top off at a 2,000-lb tow rating.) The difference likely comes down to the all-wheel-drive systems offered on each: A simpler design on the turbo-4 Escape, a more complex system with a twin-clutch rear differential in the Bronco Sport. So it’s unusual that the off-roader of the pair is rated lower in towing: 2,200 pounds max in the Bronco Sport, versus up to 3,500 lb in the Escape. ![]() The curb weight of the Bronco Sport has not been made official, but it’s likely within range of the 3,500-lb Escape with AWD. Escapes also come in Hybrid and plug-in Hybrid form, but it’s not confirmed if, or when, the Bronco Sport will offer either of those. Rated at 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque in the Bronco Sport and 250 hp in the Escape, the engine’s teamed to the 8-speed that comes with a transmission cooler and paddle shift controls in the Bronco Sport.Įscapes with all-wheel drive come with EPA combined ratings of 28 mpg in the 1.5-liter and 26 mpg in the 2.0-liter, and we expect similar ratings from the Bronco Sport. We’re interested in that, but we’re compelled by the 2.0-liter turbo-4 found in the top Escapes and in the costliest Bronco Sports. Base models get the 181-horsepower turbo-3, coupled to an 8-speed automatic-a perfectly adequate powertrain in the Escape, one that should measure up just as moderately in a Bronco Sport that will carry the added weight of standard all-wheel drive. The Bronco Sport and Escape share a pair of inline engines that made their debut last year.
