Re: First 2021 Ford Bronco 2-door SUV spied

Ford has decided to move the Bronco reveal to July 13 after it realized the original date of July 9 was OJ Simpson’s birthday.
Simpson famously led police on a low-speed chase through Los Angeles in his white Ford Bronco in 1994. He had been charged with two counts of murder.
Ford announced the new date via Twitter and said that the original July 9 date was purely coincidental.

Re: First 2021 Ford Bronco 2-door SUV spied

Aaaand its here!

The 2021 Ford Bronco family of SUVs has been launched today, soon to hit dealerships across North America. Here's the official livestream / reveal video:


MotorTrend already got some hands-on time:


This is an A-class effort by Ford, and deserves to be rewarded handsomely! Sights aimed square at the Jeep Wrangler, Ford has come out all-guns blazing on this one. Two body styles - short wheelbase two door and extended wheelbase 4-door (add to that a convertible soft rooftop option). Two engine options, a 2.3L turbo-4cyl and a 2.7L V6, optionally paired to a 7-speed manual transmission with a crawling gear. One of the design elements that especially caught my eye was the A-pillar mounted mirrors - enables owners to very easily take off the frameless doors and carry on their adventures!
I really hope they have plans of bringing it to India, at a ~$30,000 starting price tag (Rs 22.5 lakh) it won't pull much sales but being an SUV you never know - there's so many Porsche Cayenne / Macan takers out there in our country, some of 'em have got to love proper off-roading vehicles?

Pricing (From CarAndDriver)
  • Base: $29,995
  • Big Bend: $34,480
  • Black Diamond: $37,545
  • Outer Banks: $40,450
  • Badlands: $43,590
  • Wildtrak: $50,370
  • First Edition: $60,800

Sorry for the low-res photos, swiped them from this link

The Bronco nameplate is not familiar for us Indians, but it does come with some brilliant heritage - made from 1966 to 1996, it was wildly famous in its homeland. The new 2-door posing with the old guard:

Short wheelbase version looks ruggedly handsome!

Love the Bronco badging:

4-door version looks nice too:

(Relatively) Utilitarian interiors are said to be waterproof for all those open-top door-less adventure rides in the jungles:

What a view! And love the stick shifter:

This seems to be one of the higher variants, with the Automatic transmission and better-built dash with the touchscreen integrated. Also notice the grab rail for the passenger (I thought it was a handbrake at first lol):

Since the doors are capable of being taken off, all the controls apart from the door latch / lock button are placed here under the center armrest:

I for one would definitely love to get one in India, where this honestly makes more sense to me than here in the US. Even here though, I feel this could nicely complement my Model 3 in a strange opposite-ends-of-the-spectrum way, but I'll have to find a way to convince wifey to agree to one ("you wanted an SUV as our second car right?? This is an SUV!!!" )

Re: First 2021 Ford Bronco 2-door SUV spied

First the Defender and now the Bronco. Two iconic machines have returned in their new avtars this year. Wonder if the Bronco will ever come to India, even as a CBU. Wishful I guess when Ford itself has one foot out of the door.

Re: First 2021 Ford Bronco 2-door SUV spied

It certainly is a beauty although i am not too impressed with the Sports version. I think the Sports version is merely to please urban buyers. The real deal is still both the 2 door & 4 door versions which would compete with the Defender 90 & 110 as well as with Jeep Rubicon & Wrangler.

What i am delighted though is the fact that SUVs are getting squarer and I mean the true blue SUVs rather than style statements.

I think we can only hope that with the recent partnership between Mahindra & Ford, we may hope to see Bronco being produced here though its a long-long shot. However given the fact that Indian manufacturer have a mass-selling and profit making bend, even if this happens it would be the Bronco Sport that Mahindra would prefer to sell.

Perhaps Ford imports it as a Halo product as part of the 2500 units it can import without homologation.

Till then let's just drool over the
