Ford Bronco New Energy EV unveiled globally. Will this electric SUV come to India?
The all-electric variant of the Bronco New Energy will come with dual motors—one at each axle. Notify me Ford is preparing to bring the Bronco badge into the electric era. The new Ford Bronco New Energy, a freshly created SUV that was co-developed with Jiangling Motors in China, will soon launch with both fully electric and extended-range hybrid versions. While rooted in the familiar styling of the Bronco family, this model introduces a new direction for the off-road-focused SUV. Built on familiar DNA, But bigger Although the Bronco New Energy borrows design cues from the petrol-powered Bronco and Bronco Sport, this is a brand-new vehicle underneath. Based on data from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), it stretches 5,025mm in length, with a 2,950mm wheelbase—a match for the full-size Bronco. However, it's slightly bulkier overall and tips the scales at 2,630kg, making it one of the heaviest vehicles in its class. In terms of dimensions, it's closely aligned with EVs like the Kia EV9.

The front motor produces 177 bhp, while the rear offers 275 bhp, resulting in a combined output of 311hp. The SUV promises a top speed of 170 kmph and draws power from a 105.4kWh LFP blade battery, sourced from BYD. On paper, it claims an impressive range of 650km under the CLTC test cycle. Adding to its tech credentials is a lidar sensor positioned above the windshield, which strongly hints at a more advanced ADAS suite. Hybrid version for extended flexibility In addition to the EV, Ford will also offer a plug-in hybrid version using EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) tech. This is something that Maruti Suzuki is also working on. The Ford setup uses the same 177hp front motor but pairs it with a 245hp rear motor, and a 1.5-litre petrol engine that acts only as a range extender—it doesn't drive the wheels.

This version weighs slightly less at 2,510kg. Will it come to India? For now, the Bronco New Energy is China-bound, but a wider rollout hasn't been ruled out. While Ford exited the Indian market, speculation continues about its return—possibly with the next-gen Everest. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 21 Jul 2025, 10:57 am IST

Ford Bronco EV debuts for Chinese market
Ford has built out the Bronco nameplate into a family of models encompassing the traditional version and the smaller Bronco Sport-but all with gasoline powertrains. But the Bronco and Bronco Sport are about to be joined by an electric model. You just won't be able to get it in the United States. It's the Ford Bronco New Energy, which will be sold with all-electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains, in China, according to the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). It's a joint effort between Ford and Jiangling Motors, with batteries supplied by BYD. "New Energy" is as good a name as any for an electric Bronco, as "new energy vehicle" is how China refers to EVs, extended-range plug-in hybrids, and other low-emission powertrain technologies. The Bronco New Energy measures 77.0 inches wide and 197.0 inches long, with a 116.1-inch wheelbase, making it 1.1 inches wider than a base U.S.-market Bronco (the Bronco Raptor is a bit wider thanks to its expanded track and fender flares). The American Bronco has the same wheelbase, but it's 7.6 inches shorter overall. Like the smaller Bronco Sport, the Bronco New Energy is a unibody vehicle. The all-electric version is rated at 271 horsepower and uses a 105.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack to achieve 404 miles of range on China's CLTC testing cycle. The plug-in hybrid version has a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and 43.7-kWh pack, good for 241 hp and an estimated 137 miles of electric range. Those battery packs make the Bronco New Energy heavier than its internal-combustion counterparts. The plug-in hybrid version tips the scales at 5,535 pounds, while the all-electric version weighs 5,800 pounds. For comparison, a Bronco Raptor-heaviest of the breed-weighs 4,945 pounds. The Bronco New Energy is expected to go on sale in China later this year with a base price of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. That's about $42,000 to $55,000 at current exchange rates. Whether the U.S. will ever see an equivalent model remains unclear. While Ford remains committed to EVs in the U.S., including moving ahead with plans to manufacture batteries here, the automaker has been vague on future product plans. Last year Ford canceled a three-row electric SUV and delayed production of a next-generation pickup codenamed T3, ostensibly to focus on hybrids and less-expensive EVs. But it still hasn't detailed any new models, leaving the Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, and E-Transit van as its only offerings in this market. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Ford Unveils All-Electric Bronco
TDT | Agencies The New Energy SUV model is for Chinese market The Ford Bronco, one of America's most iconic SUVs, is now going electric. Ford has officially revealed the Bronco New Energy, an electrified version of the off-roader, which will initially be available only in China. The Bronco New Energy will be offered with two powertrain options — a fully electric (EV) and an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV). Unlike the ladder-frame original, the Bronco EV adopts a larger unibody design and features battery technology supplied by BYD. This new five-seater SUV measures 5,025 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,815 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. Design-wise, it bears resemblance to the Bronco Sport and includes a tailgate-mounted spare tyre. The fully electric version houses a 105.4 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of 650 km under the CLTC cycle. It features an all-wheel-drive setup powered by dual electric motors that generate a combined output of 311 BHP and a top speed of 170 km/h. The extended-range version combines two electric motors with a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 147 BHP. As an EREV, the engine does not drive the wheels but serves as a generator to recharge the 43.7 kWh battery or support the motors. This version can travel 220 km on electric power alone, with a total range of up to 1,220 km when factoring in the petrol engine. The Bronco New Energy will be built by Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC), Ford's local joint venture partner in Jiangxi province. The SUV is expected to hit the Chinese market in the fourth quarter of this year.
