Ford’s Bronco lineup is competing with Jeep across both full-size and compact off-road SUVs. After driving a loaded 2026 Bronco Outer Banks, a Wrangler-owning reviewer praised its appeal and said Ford’s revived rivalry has made Jeep’s position less secure. In the compact segment, the Bronco Sport offers more space, slightly better fuel economy and stronger trail hardware in Badlands trim, while the Jeep Compass has more power in its base engine, a more road-focused ride and better five-year resale value. The current Bronco Sport is 1,887 millimeters wide, placing it around the 38th percentile among the SUVs compared in one measurement database.

Ford and Jeep pushing each other like this should mean better options for anyone shopping compact SUVs this year.

The Bronco Sport's extra space over the Compass makes it worth a look if trail capability matters more than saving a few thousand.
