A Bronco You Can’t Buy
Ford has launched a bold new Bronco SUV—but you won’t find it in America.
Built exclusively for China, the Bronco New Energy is longer, wider, smarter, and more electrified than any Bronco to date. Available as either a full EV or a plug-in hybrid, it marks a major shift in Ford’s SUV strategy—but only for one side of the world.
At first glance, it may look like a stretched Bronco Sport. But under the skin, this is an entirely new vehicle. Ford confirmed it’s a China-only release, at least for now.
EV Power and Extended Range
Two powertrains lead the launch.
The fully electric model delivers 271 horsepower and uses a massive 105.4 kWh battery, giving it up to 404 miles (650 km) of range on a single charge.
The plug-in hybrid version is no slouch either. It produces 241 horsepower from a 1.5-liter engine paired with a 43.7 kWh battery, allowing for 137 miles (220 km) of pure electric driving—and up to 758 miles (1,220 km) total range with gas.
Both configurations appear to be front-wheel drive only, unlike the U.S. Broncos, which are built for off-road performance.
Super-Sized Specs
The Bronco New Energy is a beast in size.
It rides on a 116-inch wheelbase and stretches to 197.8 inches in length, putting it well beyond the dimensions of both the Bronco Sport and the four-door Bronco sold in the U.S.
Weighing in at up to 5,800 pounds, it even out-bulks the rugged Bronco Raptor. Design-wise, it keeps a clean, modern look with flush door handles and a refined body shape.
Lidar-Equipped and Tech-Loaded
Where it really stands apart is in technology.
This Bronco comes equipped with lidar, over 30 sensors, and next-gen driver assistance features. No current U.S. Ford SUV offers this level of automation.
Ford plans to launch it in Q4 2025, produced through its joint venture with Jiangling Motors. Pricing is expected to start around ¥300,000 ($42,000).
Sorry, America
There are no current plans to bring this electric Bronco to the U.S.
Ford’s largest and smartest Bronco is headed straight for Chinese roads—for now.
