Subaru Crosstrek vs. Ford Bronco Sport

Standard All-Wheel Drive

Both the Subaru Crosstrek and Ford Bronco Sport models come equipped with standard all-wheel drive, which lets you maintain better traction and control in bad weather, on rugged terrain, and on your everyday outings around the city. However, the Subaru Crosstrek lineup comes with the legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which sends power to all the wheels at the same time and will automatically divert it to the wheels with the most traction, resulting in the most control and optimal handling wherever you go.

The new Subaru Crosstrek lineup comes with a standard 7-inch touchscreen display and the Bronco Sport lineup has a standard 8-inch touchscreen. Although it has a larger standard touchscreen, that's the largest touchscreen offered in the Bronco Sport lineup. All other Crosstrek models than the Base trim provide a larger 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen display, giving you user-friendly control of calls, apps, messages, and more with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
