Road Test

The resurrected Bronco has clearly been designed to compete with the iconic Jeep Wrangler. We found the boxy Bronco to be a superior daily-driver to the Jeep in many ways, with better handling and a more comfortable ride, yet like the Jeep it’s an immensely-capable off-roader. Unusually long stopping distances in our testing, underwhelming fuel economy, and elevated wind noise compromise its road-test score compared to most other mainstream two-row midsized SUVs, although it’s competitive when viewed against off-road-capable models such as the Toyota 4Runner, Land Rover Defender, and Wrangler.
