Thank you for the comparison on these two. As an owner of a ‘21 Bronco Sport, Big Bend, it’s shocking to see all of the downgrades on the ‘24 model. Mine does have the auto unlocking doors when grabbing the door handle. Mine also has auto high beams. The seats are not cloth, but a neoprene “wet suit” material. Maybe all of the recalls Ford has on them caused some cutting of corners. Just a caution to anyone looking at a Bronco Sport, there have been at least 5-6 recalls on mine in the last 3 years. A bad battery, a dead brake light, and recently a “catastrophic” water pump failure. If you are looking for head room, it does have it in spades and the cargo area is spacious. The overhead lights on the tailgate are wonderful, and you can’t go wrong with a built-in bottle opener in the back. Too many issues for me personally. Thank you again for the comparison; it’s given me a good rundown on a potential replacement for my BS.
being able to lock the door by touch on the handle is part of a convenience package... i have a big bend and i can lock it by touching the top of the handle

I have 2024 CX50. So far, zero problems and zero recalls.
my 24 big bend has everything you just mentioned
You didnt show the light in the mazda

The Mazda would likely be FAR more reliable and be a more comfortable daily driver
Ford needs to bring back to Thunderbird
the?
