When you’re in the market for an SUV like the Ford Bronco Sport or the Toyota RAV4, power is obviously on your mind. While both models have a lot to offer, only one will keep up with all your adventures. Let’s find out which one is destined to be your on- and off-road companion.
The Ford Bronco Sport?is built to go anywhere. It has a standard 4x4 system and can also adjust to current driving conditions with the Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes™ . This system provides up to seven selectable drive modes to choose from, including:
- Slippery
- Mud/Ruts
- Sand
- Rock Crawl
While the Toyota RAV4 also has selective drive modes to choose from, you’ll be limited to only four. Additionally, you won’t find standard 4WD in this SUV—in fact, it doesn’t even offer this rugged drivetrain as an add-on option.
The Bronco Sport is also prepared to power through the elements. Its available 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 engine offers up to 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque which is perfect for tackling whatever the trail throws your way.
Let’s kick it over to the competition to see how it stacks up! Unfortunately, right off the bat, you won’t have as much power under the hood since the motor of the RAV4 tops out at 203 horsepower.
When you’re driving around town, having a spacious cabin interior is a must. SUVs are known for their comfortable interiors, but you may also be interested in how big their trunks are. Let’s find out what kind of equipment you can bring along with the Ford Bronco or the Toyota RAV4.
The Ford Bronco and the Toyota RAV4 can both carry a lot of cargo. Each SUV features a large trunk and 60/40 split-folding rear seats that allow you to load even more when needed.
When it comes to measurements, they offer similar amounts of storage space with more than 55 cubic feet to work with.
The Ford features more ways to stash all your essentials, though. For example, you can store valuables or extra supplies in an under-seat storage compartment, zippered seatback pockets , or with the MOLLE Straps System . A flip-up rear window allows you to quickly grab something from the trunk, slide in additional cargo, or load longer items like kayak paddles.
The Toyota RAV4, on the other hand, doesn’t offer any comparable storage features to these, so you may not be able to organize your gear as easily.
Whether you’re driving to work alone or bringing along the whole family on a day trip, connectivity and access to entertainment is a must. After taking a vote for which album to play first, you can easily queue up the playlist to make everyone happy.
Both SUVs enable you to stay connected wherever you go. A Wi-Fi hotspot is included in the Ford Bronco Sport and the Toyota RAV4 to help you and your adventure companions stay connected no matter where you roam.
Both models also feature user-friendly infotainment systems that include smartphone compatibility, including Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ .
Whether you’re blasting your favorite tunes or listening to a podcast about the National Park you’re on your way to, you’ll be able to view your entertainment through a center 8-inch touchscreen in either the Bronco Sport or the RAV4.
But, once you head off the path less traveled, you may prefer the display in the Ford Bronco Sport. When you add on the available 180-Degree Camera , you’ll have an expanded view of the trail in front of you. The best part is it has a Split View feature so you can keep an eye on both the road and your entertainment.
This feature is not found in the RAV4, so you won’t be treated to a special view of bumps and rocks ahead.
With a more capable drivetrain, unique storage features, and unique camera views, the Ford Bronco Sport is the clear choice for adventure seekers in Virgina Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, VA. Visit Cavalier Ford Greenbrier to learn more about the Bronco Sport and take a test drive.
