- the 2021 ford bronco will be unveiled in march, automotive news reports, citing what the automaker has told ford dealers. the smaller, crossover-based bronco sport (previously referred to as the "baby bronco") will follow in april.
- the bronco sport will arrive first, though. ford told dealers it'll show up later this year while the bronco will arrive in early 2021.
- a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four is likely the base option, with a twin-turbo 2.7-liter v-6 being an option.
ford will unveil its 2021 bronco off-road suv next month, automotive news reports. the smaller bronco sport crossover's reveal will follow in april, likely at the new york auto show.
ford executives told dealers to expect to see the bronco sport late this year and the two- and four-door versions of the bronco in early 2021. dealers were also told ford is rolling out hundreds of bronco accessories alongside the initial launch to help boost profits. this makes sense. like its primary competitor, the jeep wrangler, the bronco is meant to be customized. both the two- and four-door body-on-frame models have a removable roof and doors and have some serious off-road chops.
the bronco will have two engines: a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four is likely the base option, with a twin-turbo 2.7-liter v-6 as an option. they will be backed by ford and gm's co-developed 10-speed automatic transmission. there could also be a hybrid powertrain in the works, but that's down the line. and a glorious manual transmission could be an option, too.
it has been 24 years since the last bronco rolled off an assembly line, and the new one will be built on the same assembly line in wayne, michigan, where its predecessors were built for decades.
