Ford unveils the all new 2021 Bronco two-door and first ever four-door

Ford has unveiled the 2021 Bronco - including a classic two-door and first-ever four-door - the flagship of an all new family of rugged off-road vehicles.

The all-4x4 Bronco brand is Built Wild and ready to deliver thrilling experiences with its heritage-inspired style, engineering and smart off-road technology, plus innovative features to help outdoor enthusiasts create adventures in the most remote corners of the world.

The Ford Bronco returns as the flagship of a new all-4x4 family of rugged SUVs, with a classic two-door and a first-ever four-door. Both are engineered for segment-leading 4x4 capability, long-term off-road performance and dependability.

Just like the first-generation Bronco, the mission of the all new 2021 Bronco is to deliver maximum 4x4 go-anywhere, anytime capability and confidence.

The Bronco incorporates off-road mapping and drive technologies to give novice adventurers as much fun as hard-core off-road experts, while its Built Wild durability makes for lasting performance in the harshest of conditions for generations to come.

Thanks to the Bronco's legendary Baja racing DNA, each model brings forth a thrilling off-road experience and delivers it with modern, heritage-inspired style. It all began in a Ford design studio with a life-sized digital scan of a first-generation model that served to influence the proportions and design of the all new Bronco for maximum off-road capability and performance.

To deliver thrilling high-speed off-roading and overall driving performance, every Bronco comes with an independent front suspension for improved control, confidence and comfort. At the rear, a rugged solid axle design featuring coil springs with five locating links delivers both strength and off-road control.

Best-in-class projected gasoline-powered horsepower and torque is available with the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 engine, which is projected to produce 306bhp and 542Nm of torque, while the 2.3-litre EcoBoost is targeted to deliver best-in-class four-cylinder torque of 420Nm with an expected 204bhp.

For maximum low-speed rock-climbing capability, a segment-first seven-speed (six plus one) manual transmission paired with the available advanced 4x4 system with automatic on-demand engagement generates a class-leading available crawler-gear ratio of 94.75:1. An available segment-first SelectShift 10-speed automatic transmission makes for easier driving on- and off-road, while offering a maximum 67.8:1 crawl ratio with the available advanced 4x4 transfer case.

Both Bronco two- and four-door models make the open-air experience quick, easy and fun with quick-release stow-able roof panels and doors on select versions. Two-door models come with a standard three-section roof system and an available premium painted modular top with four sections.

Four-door models have four removable roof sections. Roof panels on all models can be removed by one person by unlocking the latches from the interior. All modular hardtops have rear quarter windows that are removable without removing the roof panels.

A cloth soft top, standard on four-door models, provides easy access to the open air and a unique tilt-up function for quick access to the rear cargo area.

The four-door model can be optioned with both for customers who don't want to choose between a soft or hardtop. Every Bronco comes with class-exclusive frameless doors that make them easier to remove than what competitors offer. On four-door Bronco models, all four doors can be stored onboard with protective door bags. Trail sights on the front fenders also serve as tie-downs, reminiscent of the first-generation Bronco, have a 68kg capacity for securing longer items like canoes.

Further setting Bronco ahead of the off-road competition is an available segment-exclusive 12-inch SYNC 4 system with over-the-air updates and seamless integration to the FordPass Performance app with off-road navigation - a Bronco class-exclusive feature that allows owners to easily plan, navigate and share their off-road adventures.

The SYNC system also displays the available 360-degree camera system with class-exclusive off-road spotter views to provide additional visibility in technical pursuits such as rock crawling.

To make post-adventure cleanups simple, fast and painless, select Bronco models come with washable rubberised floors with integrated drains and marine-grade vinyl seating surfaces that resist mildew.

A modern high-strength steel roll cage with integrated side curtain airbags in the upper structure and seats helps protect passengers from side impacts and complements driver and front passenger airbags. Available Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technologies plus standard AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control and Trailer Sway Control help instill driver confidence.
