Also keep in mind that the F-150 hybrid is rated at 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, so I'm guessing they might be hitting the practical limits for torque output in the 10R transmission too.

I've seen discussion says it's based on the same platform Ford territory uses...So def a unibody vehicle. Not really related to Bronco except for the same boxy shape and probably not really off-road capable I assume😂

Turns out to be larger than the Bronco or Everest, so go figure.

The electric motor inside in F-150's R10 transmission is only 47 HP but the Ranger PHEV has the same R10 transmission setup and it's electric motor is 100 HP. Don't know if it could be increased further.

If anything it would lead to quick and easy things that can be turned back down like selling more V6 Broncos or 2 door Broncos. That is the first thing that pops into my head.

https://fordauthority.com/2025/07/trump-bill-allows-ford-to-get-away-scot-free-with-cafe-violations/ Apparently this will go into place starting in September. It's hard to say how much of an impact this sort of thing will have. Internally, Ford's probably still planning on meeting those efficiency targets anticipating for them to be reinstated at some point in the future. But who knows, it could influence some of Ford's future product decisions.

Would absolutely buy this if available here!

You may want to rethink your position. From today's Autoline Daily. Go to the 1:30 mark. https://www.autoline.tv/daily/ad-4094-stellantis-throws-in-the-towel-with-fuel-cells-volvo-to-shift-suv-production-to-u-s-mercedes-reveals-1st-all-electric-wagon/

The model name is technically call "Bronco New Energy" not Bronco. But the grille just says Bronco of course like Bronco Sport. Bronco New Energy has fixed roof and longer so not the same body. Similar styling for sure.

Tesla will introduce a new stretched Model YL for China that may partly explain why the Model X was pulled. The longer Model YL is apparently a 6-seat SUV roughly 7 inches longer with a 6-inch longer wheelbase. It’s also a bit taller based on data being reported. https://electrek.co/2025/07/16/tesla-announces-model-yl-larger-6-seater-suv-coming-fall/

Nothing...? My opinion which is not exactly popular around here but all the moves Farley is making points in one direction - that he is planning to exit passenger car business in Europe. 1. Get rid of all the volume products 2. Move the biggest remaining selling model (Puma) under Ford Otosan which has robust business with Transit franchise 3. JV with VW on EV with easy exit if the business does not catch on 4. Boost export capacity outside EU (e.g. South Africa, Thailand, India, China - although India is cancelled again) 5. ??? 6. Profit I think Farley saw what Ford Australia did and is feeling pretty confident that he can duplicate it in Europe relying primarily on imported products: Puma (Ford Otosan Romania) Territory (China) Next gen Bronco Sport (Mexico?) Compact EV to replace Explorer and Capri (Louisville?) Next gen Mach E (Mexico?) Mustang (Flat Rock) Bronco (Detroit) Ranger (Thailand/South Africa) Transit Courier (Ford Otosan Romania) Transit Connect (VW) Transit Custom (Ford Otosan Turkey) Transit (Ford Otosan Turkey)

Best guess is that 110 kW range extender power rating refers to electrical output, not the engine itself. If so the 147 HP seems appropriate compared to regular 1.5L EB engine output. Also possible though less likely is that engine is modified to operate under Miller cycle.

I feel it could be popular in the states against the 4Runner, but it’s an EV-EREV so it would kinda be in a league of its own.

Bronco, Bronco EV and Bronco EREV. Or some other trim names to distinguish them. Looks like the same body/styling.

True. 😎

You said that 2 years ago about the other quality guy. LOL

So what I don't understand is that this is called just "Ford Bronco"? While they're also selling our Bronco?

in NJ we are looking at 20% monthly increase in our electrical rates, but apparently their is some sort of offset so it isn't as high. https://newjerseymonitor.com/2025/06/18/new-jersey-utilities-to-cut-60-from-electric-bills-to-offset-controversial-price-spike/ Its downright stupid along with the cancellation of the off shore wind mill program they had, not sure how they plan on making up the shortcomings in power generation in state either.

Yeah that is what I thought also, just makes you wonder what product they are planning on building in the EU, apparently the Capri and Explorer aren't doing too hot sales wise and they have a ton of extra production space with no new product to fill it, from what we know.

There is no next gen Kuga. Farley already made up his mind to kill it. I would be really surprised if Kuga is still around in 2 years. In order for there to be a next gen Kuga, design would need to be locked in by now but we know with Ford China and Ford US out of the program, there is not enough volume to support a new gen. Ford Taiwan is already preparing to replace its Kuga with Territory. There is no going back.

My guess is that it's the same engine, just detuned to provide better fuel economy over a very narrow power band since it's sole purpose is to generate electricity and doesn't actually propel the vehicle.

Says here the car is 5 meters long. I assume that is with the spare tire. So if you take away the spare tire, it is roughly 4.8 meters long... about the same size as ICE Bronco. Much bigger than Bronco Sport or Escape. Edit: ICE Bronco is 4.8 meter with spare tire so if this thing is 5 meters long, it is actually longer than the "big" Bronco. Here are the stats on this new Bronco EV... it is a big boy https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/202507/1307474.html#pvareaid=102624 Length: 5025mm or 197.8" Width: 1960mm or 77.2" Height: 1815 or 1825mm or 71.8" Wheelbase: 2950mm or 116.1" Track width: 1670mm or 65.7" Curb Weight: 2630kg or 5798lbs Gross Vehicle Weight: 3030kg or 6680lbs Compare with ICE Bronco (Big Bend Hard top) Length: 4811mm or 189.4" Width: 1928mm or 75.9" Height: 1877mm or 73.9" Wheelbase: 2950mm or 116.1" Track width: 1651mm or 65" Curb Weight: 2026kg or 4467lbs Gross Vehicle Weight: 2685kg or 5920lbs Note the identical wheelbase of the two Bronco. I don't know what to make of it yet since we don't know if Bronco EV is BOF or unibody.

I wonder what engine they are using in the EREV-the power numbers are down quite a bit vs the 1.5 3 cyc Ecoboost.

I believe him but we won’t know if it’s working for another 1-2 years.
