Shared with the new F-150 is an optional 12-inch infotainment system, controlling, amongst the usual elements, Ford’s curiously named G.O.A.T terrain response system.Īs mentioned, the Bronco will not be built in right-hand-drive form and therefore will not be offered by Ford in the UK. Given the open nature of the cabin, Ford has ensured the whole space is weatherproof, complete with waterproof digital interfaces and drainage holes in the cabin floor. The removable doors are frameless, making them more manageable when off the cars, and on four-door models they fit into the rear cargo space. Both rigid and soft-tops are available, and while the process of removing these components is not a one-touch experience, Ford has put a lot of effort into making the process as pain-free as possible, ensuring the whole system is able to be done by just one person. Like the Jeep Wrangler, the new Bronco has a removable top and doors for that proper outdoor experience. We'll have to wait until 2022 to see what changes the Raptor receives, with the initial teaser revealing very little. Even the F-150 Raptor has swapped a V8 for a 3.5-litre V6, so don't expect it to come with eight cylinders, but a higher power output, chassis tweaks and a more aggressive design are all likely to come as part of the package. > Land Rover Defender review – an icon reborn Ford’s decision to build the Bronco as a body-on-frame is also an interesting contrast to Land Rover’s decision to build the new Defender on a more car-like monocoque chassis.
It’s no longer based directly on an F-150 chassis as it traditionally was though, instead the new Bronco shares its underlying architecture with the smaller (and RHD-friendly) Ford Ranger. Following the reveal of the standard car in July 2020, Ford has teased a range-topping Bronco Raptor before its full announcement in 2022. Before you get too excited though, the model will be off the menu in all guises for the UK and other right-hand-drive markets, but there’s still a lot to like about the rugged new off-roader – and as a statement of intent for the company’s future products internationally it’s a fascinating insight into Ford’s future.įirst of all the Bronco is not a car-based SUV in the usual sense, rather a more rugged body-on-frame off-roader in the same style as its key rival the Jeep Wrangler.
