Doug Demuro isn't kind to Bronco Sport Interior

[BroncoKong Jr.]

The review is very positive, nearly a half-hour long, and this is your takeaway?

That's what she ... I can't go there.



I tried to express the dimensions to another poster as it pertains to the 2-dr/4-dr. The 2-dr has a larger driving cabin and much smaller cargo. The 4-dr gains cargo space, access to the rear via door, and smaller driver cabin. But yes, 4-dr buyers are buying for a larger trunk and rear access.

Please explain how the 4 door has a smaller driver cabin?

Just call it a Land Rover Sport and he'd be drooling alllll over it.

I think he was a bit too kind. The sport interior looks like a gm product from the 90's with a knockoff ipad glued to the dash as an afterthought.

I explained it on another thread.

I think Doug is a leggy fella.

Yes he seems to have long legs and a short body. He never complains about headroom.

2 Door Bronco - 35.7"
4 Door Bronco - 36.3"
Bronco Sport - 36.9"

To maintain "objective cred" he needed to call out one thing "he" didn't like - the steering wheel.
He probably even cleared that with Ford before he listed it.

The rest of the review was a gushing puff piece. And rightfully so I am not calling it fake - he had great points and the car is amazing.

My only gripe is he should not have criticized the smaller engine before driving it.
Anyway - he has repeatedly moaned about not getting press cars before - and not being taken seriously by the big 3 PR teams. And I think Ford has finally "put him on the list".
So good for him, he added a new style to auto reviews that before were dominated by porn-writing. Really, read some old R&T its written just like Penthouse.

For the good of the industry & hobby I hope other automakers follow suit and give Doug and other Youtubers cars early. And also so I don't need to listen to him gripe anymore about how he has millions of views but needs to beg for cars and use owners cars....tiring.

I just watched Doug Demuro's review of the Sport. The way he talks, he's naturally very expressive and positive, but even he had to admit there's some head scratchers in the sports interior. He begins talking about the interior at 9:20



Ford hasn't done a good job marketing big Broncos interior and I wonder if they're going to botch as many things in it as well.

Also, here's a screenshot of rear leg room in the sport just for fun (lol)

Overall, he really like the Bronco Sport. He cannot be 100% positive all the time. I suggest watching the entire thing for a more balanced view.

How does he get millions of views though?

When you look at the leg room dimensions for the sport, it also has .7 inches less front leg room than the 4 door bronco (42.4 sport vs 43.1 bronco), so to me it means i can have the front seat farther forward in the regular bronco and have the same room in the back seat. It appears to be a virtual tie in total leg room between 4 doors.

I didn't think it was too bad but i completely agree with him about the plastic use on the steering wheel, it should be leather wrapped.

The backseat shot was funny, it reminded me of Elf or something. Looks very uncomfortable.

You can upgrade to a leather steering wheel .

I watched the whole thing, and yes he is overall very positive. Infact, he didn't have a bad thing to say unless it came to the interior. He couldn't help but point out some real head scratchers about it. To name a few:

• Forced to watch a ~15 second video on the display on startup every time
• Mismatched interior materials (leather, high durability/rugged dash, cheap hard plastic, and rubber all in the same interior space)
• Cheap steering wheel

Incase you're wondering why I made a thread specifically targeting his review of the interior vs the entire video, I was trying to stay on-topic with the subject of the forum we're in which is Big Bronco, and how it relates. Ford's overall design and concept of both big and small bronco was knocked out of the park! But it seems like Ford was lazy on interior design in the sport, and I'm guessing that translates to big bronco ??‍

I wasn't trying to make the 10th thread about how the bronco sport is awesome overall, because we already know that...
