ford bronco

Ford has finally revealed its new Bronco four-wheel-drive and SUV range, with two-door and four-door off-roaders joined by the smaller Bronco Sport designed as a more family-friendly option. Despite the broad appeal of these models, none are planned for Australia as they are intended to be built in left-hand-drive only at this stage. Although the Ford Bronco was last sold in the US in 1996, the modern version has design elements from the original model sold in the US from 1966 to 1977.

The Bronco nameplate has a rich heritage and a loyal following, especially in its homeland. Suffice it to say, a lot of Ford Bronco fans have high hopes for the revival of the nameplate. Based on reports from Car & Driver, those fans won’t be disappointed. We already know the Bronco will feature boxy styling and round headlights inspired by the first Bronco (above), which debuted back in 1965.

Ford has detailed its upcoming product rollout – for the United States, at least – which will focus on the SUV and pickup segments. The Blue Oval says will replace "more than 75 per cent" of its current portfolio by 2020, while also adding four new trucks and SUVs. Additionally, the company will commence the rollout of hybrid and electric variants of existing models form 2020.

The next update for the Ford Ranger will be sold in the US from 2019, and will be accompanied by a new Bronco SUV in 2020. Apart from confirming their return to the North American market, after an absence of eight and 24 years, respectively, Ford hasn't released many details about either the new Ranger or Bronco.
