Can't tell, but I can tell you about the Bronco Sport Badlands and the Lariat Tremor, I can't notice any difference in ride quality
My guess is the Bronco should be feel more "bumpy" I'd never drove one before

Bronco, or Bronco Sport?

It doesn't really compare to the Maverick.

Pretty similar to any other new body-on-frame 4x4. Not very smooth, probably worse than the Maverick, but pretty decent with street tires. My biggest complaint is the creaking noises from the optional hardtop flexing.

Ride a factor, yes. But more importantly is cabin feel.

I was given a Bronco Sport as a curtesy car when my Mav was in the shop and I have to say I did really enjoy it. It was "zippy" and both fun and comfortable to drive. Ultimately though I was happy to get my Mav back as it is a much better option for me with my hobbies and interests (not to mention the hybrid gas milage.) Can't speak on actual the Bronco itself, but between the Sport and Mav I would get a Maverick again. If you don't really have any use for a truck bed or towing, the Bronco Sport could be a better option. The Sport of course has all those off road options, etc, but really if you are going to use those you would probably just get a regular Bronco.

Full size bronco. I had a 2 door hardtop 2.3 manual. It was slow, lumbering, and i aveaged 17mpg. The worst thing was the road and wind noise paired with the shitty base sound system. Interior plastics felt beefier but still scratched easily

I have a 24 Lariat Hybrid and my has a 24 Bronco Sport Big Bend. I drive it on occassion and not a big fan. It is a nice vehicle and she loves it, but I find it to be very rough. Maybe that is because it is an AWD and my Maverick is a Front wheel drive. I also have gotten to like the Hybrid engine and not feeling the shifts of the transmission, I can really notice driving the gas engine when in her Bronco Sport.

I have both, the Maverick is much quieter, smoother, and more responsive. But the Bronco is way more fun

The Bronco Sport, It’s got a 105 inch wheel base, Your Mav has a 121” wheel base. With that you also have a much lower CG.
Much better stability especially at higher speeds.
And more time between bumps for the vehicle to regain its composure.
Hence a better ride.

It’s that simple.

I rode in a buddies Suzuki Samurai. It beat me.
Rode in an older 2 door jeep. The ride sucked. But both of these were great off road.

We rolled the Suzuki into a lake, completely submerged. We could swim and were not fat couch potato’s, we were fine and we both stayed in the water and hooked up the tow straps. It was a trip.

The Cowboy Cadillacs had it pulled out in twenty minutes.
We drove it home I shit you not !

It was not over engineered. ECM was waterproof. Molded in solid expoxy. Connectors were water tight.

The seats dried out in days, with fans.
We changed the oil and he had to replace the battery a month later.
Seems it didn’t like sandy lake water.
He drove it to work for several years after that fantastic submarine move.

it was a true, “Hold my beer” moment.
Boring stories of glory Dayz~~~
:’P

The Bronco ride difference is noticeable. Rough ride with everyday driving. It’s very very loud in the cabin. It is very capable off road.

Maverick ride is more car like and noticeably quieter than the Bronco but is much less off road oriented (at least the Lariat. The tremor pkg may change that but haven’t driven one off road.
