The Ford Bronco New Energy is an upcoming battery electric and range extender mid-size crossover SUV to be manufactured by Ford's joint venture with Jiangling Motors using the Bronco nameplate.

Overview

The Bronco New Energy is Ford's first extended-range EV. It is also larger than the regular four-door Bronco, being 8 inches (200 mm) longer and the wheelbase is 11 inches (280 mm) longer. (The regular 4-door Bronco's length and wheelbase are 189.4 in (4,810 mm) and 105.1 in (2,670 mm), respectively).[2]

It is not mechanically related to either the Bronco or the Bronco Sport, the latter of which is unavailable in China.

Design and features

The Bronco New Energy shares design cues with both Bronco and Bronco Sport models, sharing the headlight design with the regular Bronco and the plastic cladding of the Bronco Sport. The Bronco New Energy also inherits the swinging rear tailgate and the rear-mounted spare tire from the regular Bronco.[3]

The Bronco is equipped with an ADAS system with a sensor suite that includes 30 sensors, including a LiDAR sensor mounted above the windshield.[4]

Spy shots of a prototype model from May 2025 show that the interior features a large central touchscreen of unknown size.[5]

Powertrain

The Bronco New Energy is available with either pure electric or extended-range (EREV) powertrains which both have all-wheel-drive as standard. Electric models pair a 174 hp (130 kW; 176 PS) front motor with a 271 hp (202 kW; 275 PS) rear motor for a total of 445 horsepower (332 kW; 451 PS), while EREV models use the same front motor with a 241 hp (180 kW; 244 PS) for a total of 416 horsepower (310 kW; 422 PS).[4][6][7]

Both versions use LFP battery packs supplied by BYD's FinDreams division. Electric models have a 105.4 kWh pack providing 650 kilometres (404 mi) of range on the CLTC cycle, while EREV models use a 43.7 kWh battery providing 220 kilometres (137 mi) of range. EREV models are also equipped with a 147 horsepower (110 kW; 149 PS) 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine generator that is not mechanically connected to the wheels that can provide a combined range of 1,220 kilometres (758 mi).[4][6][7]
