Chinese electric Bronco pre sales start November 18th


Recommended Posts

Video of the Bronco New Energy Global Premiere in Chengdu is below. It begins with an intro by a big shot from Ford China, Shan Ge. The head honcho himself makes an appearance at 5:13.

Do we like it that much?  (Genuinely asking)

 

Good question, I do wonder about how it would fit into the NA lineup-its longer/wilder then the BOF Bronco in North America.

 

It would butt into the Explorer sales space, which I'm not sure if Ford would want to do that. 

 

Ford still has a gaping opening below the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be better off filled maybe by something more car like that would be a legitimate Edge replacement. 

 

IMO it would be better just to make the Bronco and Sport a P/HEV short term then move to an EREV setup by the end of the decade.

The Puma answers some of this; smaller than BS and mild hybrid. Square it off a bit for rugged off-road chops but keep it low enough to fit in FRAP.

So then the Puma answers none of it if you're suggesting to change the styling lol.

 

I saw Pumas all over in the UK last year - I think it'd do well here, it has some style to it, unlike the EcoSport, which was weird looking.

A lot of them Chinese YouTubers have posted their video reviews over the past 3 weeks

With respect, if there had been a flood of orders, wouldn’t Ford be crowing about it to the moon?
