2025 Jeep Compas vs Ford Bronco Sport
2025 Jeep Compass vs Ford Bronco Sport: City Comfort Meets Trail Power
If you’re shopping for a compact SUV comparison in 2025, the Jeep Compass and Ford Bronco Sport both bring serious appeal. The Compass comes standard with a 2.0-litre I-4 engine pushing out 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. The Bronco Sport steps ahead slightly with its turbocharged 1.5-litre I-3, generating 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft. While both use an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD, fuel efficiency tells a different story. The Compass delivers 8.8 L/100 km combined, while the Bronco Sport averages 9.3 L/100 km. For daily commuting or highway cruising between Calgary and Banff, Compass finds a better balance between strength and economy. Those who prioritize extra horsepower might lean toward the Bronco, but it comes with a higher fuel cost.
Interior Space and Everyday Utility
Both SUVs offer practical comfort, but the Ford edges out slightly in cargo room with up to 65.19 cubic feet, compared to the Compass at 59.8 cubic feet. Rear seats in both fold flat for added space. The Compass includes synthetic leather seating on select trims, heated and power-adjustable front seats, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. The Bronco Sport provides cloth seating, also with heating and power adjustability, but ups the screen to 12.30 inches. For tech lovers, either works well, but Jeep offers a simpler, more refined interface that feels ideal for Calgary's changing seasons and road conditions. Smart key entry, remote start, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are all standard, ensuring comfort is part of the daily drive.
Safety and Trail Confidence
On paper, both SUVs stack up well for safety. They share 7 airbags and similar NHTSA ratings, but Jeep Compass holds an advantage with standard cornering lights and fog lamps—features handy in low-visibility Alberta winters. The Bronco Sport, meanwhile, leans more into urban safety with adaptive cruise control on higher trims. But where the Compass wins points is with its snow-ready windshield wiper de-icer and off-road DNA. If you’re eyeing weekend escapes to Kananaskis or Glenmore Reservoir, the Jeep Compass off-road Calgary shoppers love is more suited to mixed driving needs. With a towing capacity of 1,179 lbs, it also pulls ahead of the Bronco Sport’s 915 lbs rating.
Warranty and Value That Feels Local
The two models offer nearly identical warranties: 36 months/60,000 km comprehensive, and 60 months/100,000 km for the powertrain and roadside assistance. The Compass starts at $35,400 CAD, while the Bronco Sport starts at $38,495 CAD. That makes the Compass not only more affordable at entry but also better equipped for Calgary’s climate and terrain without compromise. For those seeking the best SUV for city and trail driving, the 2025 Jeep Compass offers more value where it matters.
