Do you love the feeling of adrenaline pumping through your veins? Does jumping out of a plane or bungee jumping off a cliff sound like your idea of a great weekend? Then you’re in need of a spirited SUV to take you to all your thrilling excursions.
The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Cherokee are two models known for their bold spirit, but which one has the capabilities your active lifestyle calls for? Drivers throughout the areas of Hamilton, Madison, and Morrisville, NY, can turn to their friends at Friendly Ford of Hamilton for the answer.

These SUVs are not your standard models. Instead, they have a spirit of exploration and a heart for adventure. This is shown in their superior constructions, sitting nearly nine inches off the ground so that you can soar over rocks and tree stumps in your path.
When a stream or river crosses your path, you may prefer to be behind the wheel of the 2021 Ford Bronco. With 23.6 inches of water fording, nothing stands in this daring ride’s way. However, when it comes to off-road, every inch matters, so you may have a hard time in high waters with only 20 inches of water fording with the Cherokee.
Additionally, the Bronco Sport makes 4-wheel drive a standard amenity, so every model is ready to tackle some of the trickiest terrains. If you want 4×4 on your Jeep Cherokee, though, you’ll need to add it on.
Bring your friends along for the journey with seating for five in the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Cherokee. When you pile everyone in, you may prefer the extra space the Ford SUV offers:
Ford Bronco Sport
Front Headroom: 41.5 inches
Rear Headroom: 41.7 inches
Front Hip Room: 55.2 inches
Rear Hip Room: 53.4 inches
Jeep Cherokee
Front Headroom: 39.4 inches
Rear Headroom: 38.5 inches
Front Hip Room: 53.8 inches
Rear Hip Room: 49.9 inches
As you can see, the Bronco Sport has much more headroom all around than the Cherokee, so taller explorers will want to choose the Bronco Sport.

In addition to plenty of passenger space, you need an exploration vehicle with a roomy cargo area for all your gear. Once again, the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Cherokee vary significantly in this area:

Cherokee |
|
Behind Rear Seat |
32.5 cubic feet |
25.8 cubic feet |
|
Behind Front Seat |
65.2 cubic feet |
54.7 cubic feet |
While both SUVs have configurable interiors to expand cargo room as needed, the Bronco Sport has more space overall for your bulkiest camping equipment.
One of the unique features of the Bronco Sport is its safari-style roof. This flat feature stores up to 150 pounds, allowing you to store extra cross-country essentials up top, as well as a place to attach your mountain bikes. The Cherokee is available with roof racks, but the safari roof is unique to the Bronco Sport.
