You have many options when it comes to buying a midsize SUV. However, two stand out for their capability, reliability, and overall driving experience — the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport and the 2024 Honda CR-V. These crossover SUVs share some similarities, such as having seating for up to five people, but the Bronco Sport is designed for off-road adventures, while the CR-V is more suitable for family road trips and the daily commute.
Our team at Planet Ford in Dallas, Texas, created this guide to highlight the key features of each SUV so you can decide which one fits your lifestyle.
This thrilling small SUV comes standard with four-wheel drive and Ford's unique G.O.A.T Modes, which equip the Ford Bronco Sport to “go over any type of terrain.” This SUV has four doors and two rows of seats, and it's fun to drive, whether over challenging terrain or on city streets.
The Ford Bronco Sport includes many exciting features that you're sure to enjoy.
One of the best aspects of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is its exterior styling, which has a boxy, rugged appearance to match its off-road capabilities. On the front of the Bronco Sport, you'll notice the unique round lights with horizontal light accents that give this small SUV a distinct look. For 2024, Ford is offering the Bronco Sport in a retro-style trim called Bronco Sport Free Wheeling, which has colorful stripes along the body panels and Ebony Red painted wheels. The other trims are Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks, and the rough-and-ready Badlands.
The Ford Bronco Sport interior features two rows of seats that can fit up to five people. Depending on the trim, you can get easy-to-clean cloth seats or leather-trimmed heated front seats. The Badlands trim can come with optional rubberized cargo floor mats for easy cleaning after a day in the mud or sand. With the second-row seats folded flat, you can get up to 65.2 cubic feet of cargo space to carry adventure gear and supplies.
All the Bronco Sport trims come with the SYNC 3 infotainment system with voice recognition controls and an 8-inch touch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, FordPass Connect, and SiriusXM satellite radio come standard across the lineup.
The Ford Bronco Sport performance features include a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with an output of 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque for the four lower trims, and the Badlands gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The G.O.A.T. Modes system has Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand modes for the lower trims, and the Badlands gets Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl modes.
You'll appreciate the Ford Bronco Sport's fuel economy, with a combined 26 mpg for the 1.5-liter engine and a combined 23 mpg for the 2.0-liter engine.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the 2024 Bronco Sport an overall rating of Good, and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives this SUV an overall five-star rating. Ford equips the 2024 Bronco Sport with its Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technologies with key features, such as a forward mitigation system, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, a lane mitigation system, and automatic high-beam headlights.
The 2024 Honda CR-V is designed for urban adventures and family road trips and is offered as a gas-only version or as a hybrid. Honda gives the CR-V standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive that comes standard on the Sport Touring Hybrid trim. This SUV also has four doors with two rows of seats that can fit up to five people.
The 2024 Honda CR-V includes many appealing features.
The 2024 CR-V has conservative lines, with a long wheelbase and a wide stance. It's only with available features such as roof rails and black-painted wheels that it takes on a more sporty appearance. This SUV comes in three gas-only trims: the LX, EX, and EX-L; and three hybrid trims: the Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and the Sport Touring Hybrid.
On all but the base LX trim, you'll get heated front seats, a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The top trims have attractive features, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, leather-trimmed seats, and an automatic-dimming rearview mirror. Depending on the seating configuration, the CR-V can get up to 39 cubic feet of storage space in the gas-only version.
The CR-V comes with Honda's infotainment system with a 7-inch touch screen for the lower trims and a 9-inch version for the upper trims. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility come standard, with the three upper trims having wireless connectivity. For the ultimate listening experience, choose the Sport Touring Hybrid trim to get a 12-speaker premium Bose sound system.
Under the hood of the gas-only CR-V trims, you'll find a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an output of 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Choose the hybrid trims, and you'll get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors that deliver 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.
The NHSTA has not yet rated the 2024 CR-V, but the IIHS gives this SUV a Top Safety Pick+ rating. The 2024 CR-V comes with Honda Sensing driver-assist technologies. Key features of this bundle of safety features include a forward collision warning with a collision mitigation braking system, a lane mitigation system, and automatic high-beam headlights. On all but the LX trim, the CR-V also comes with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
