Ford Bronco Goes Electric In China: 1,220 Km Range, 105 kWh Battery, And More
Ford has taken the wraps off the Branco New Energy in China. The all-electric SUV takes classic inspirations from the ICE cousin and also gets a modern look on the outside. However, the Ford Bronco New Energy is based on the Bronco Sport, available in several international markets. Ford developed the Bronco New Energy in collaboration with Jiangling Motors, and it will be offered with an electric as well as a plug-in-hybrid version. Ford Bronco New Energy: Specs The Ford Bronco New Energy has been unveiled with a 105.4 kWh BYD battery offering up to 650km range for the all-electric iteration. Meanwhile, the plus in the hybrid or range extender version gets a 43.7 kWh battery pack that works together with a 1.5L petrol engine, delivering a total range of 1,220km. Ford Bronco New Energy: Exterior The Ford Bronco gets a bunch of exterior refreshment for a modern appeal. However, it also blends the classic Bronco style statement. Talking about the size, the Bronco New Energy is quite bigger than its ICE sibling and measures 5,025mm in length, 1,960mm in width, and 1,815mm in height, with a 2,950mm wheelbase. Ford Bronco New Energy Exterior The Bronco New Energy is largely based on the Bronco Sport, carrying the squared-off silhouette, tailgate-mounted spare wheel, a rugged lower cladding, and more. While the details regarding the interior elements of the Ford Bronco New Energy are still under wraps, the lidar sensors suggest that the electric SUV will get upgraded ADAS features.

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. Also Read : Ford's new patent brings stick shift to electric vehicles, but with a twist Electric powertrain with extended range The all-electric variant of the Bronco New Energy will come with dual motors—one at each axle. 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. Also Read : 2026 Ford Mustang FX Pack brings back classic 80s flair with modern performance The hybrid variant includes a 43.7kWh battery, capable of covering 220km on electric power alone, while the total driving range, when combined with the petrol generator, reaches 1,220km. 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

View post: Aston Martin Valhalla: This Is What a $1M Hypercar Should Look Like View post: Tesla's New Model 3+ Promises More Power and Nearly 500 Miles of Range Forbidden Fruit Model Shows Potential Of An Electric Bronco For The U.S. 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. Not Much In Common With U.S.-Spec Broncos 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.

Ford's U.S. EV Strategy Still In Flux 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. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile

This funky electric Ford Bronco is exactly the sort of car we want in the UK
You're looking at an all-electric version of the funky Ford Bronco off-roader. But it's not, if you're wondering, designed for Mulholland drive or the Moab, but megacities like Shanghai. That's because this new model has been designed specifically for the Chinese market, yet we think it should really be coming here too. Advertisement - Article continues below Officially called the 'Ford Bronco New Energy', this large SUV has been built as part of Ford's joint venture with the Chinese-owned Jiangling Motors group. As such, it doesn't feature a thirsty four-cylinder or V6 petrol engine as it does in the US, but an all-electric powertrain with the option of a range-extender hybrid too. So while it's all-but impossible to legislate the American Ford Bronco in the UK and Europe thanks to our strict emissions regulations, this model seems to solve the problem by going straight in for a much cleaner electric powertrain. In terms of size, the Bronco New Energy is just over five metres long and a touch under two metres wide, making it around 250mm longer than a Land Rover Defender, but marginally narrower. Also like a Defender, the electric Bronco features a car-like unibody construction, rather than the American Bronco's ladder frame. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below The floor houses a big 105kWh battery pack that gives it up to 404 miles of range on the Chinese CLTC cycle, which prioritises lower speeds and urban environments. This strong range figure is likely boosted by the fact it's not four-wheel drive, instead featuring a single motor with 271bhp. There's also a 241bhp plug-in range extender variant, which downsizes the battery size to around 43kWh and packs in a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that can recharge the battery on the go. Ford quotes an all-electric range figure of 143 miles for this one, after which the petrol engine will kick in. Aside from this, we have few technical details, but can see from the images that the new car looks just as rugged as the traditional Bronco, thanks to its upright body, retro detailing and chunky wheel arches. No images of the interior have been revealed, but we suspect it to be focused towards Chinese consumers who are more digitally connected and technically savvy than the median European buyer. So in other words, expect plenty of screen real estate. This isn't the only good looking Ford SUV built solely for the Chinese market, either, with the Territory SUV also built as part of the aforementioned joint venture. Neither model is expected to come to Europe in the near future, which we reckon is a bit of a shame.
