The legendary Ford Bronco was reintroduced to the market back in 2021 and is going into its fourth year of production with its 2025 model? So, what should you expect from this reimagined SUV? Let’s dig into the details.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Ford Bronco is set to make its debut in fall 2024 and may have a major refresh in store.
- There’s the rumor of a new hybrid trim on the horizon.
- Lower-level trims may start in the mid-$40,000 range.
What's New for the 2025 Ford Bronco?
The 2025 Ford Bronco may receive the current generation’s first major refresh. While we expect the current trims and configurations to stay in place, there’s talk of a new gas trim level, equipment adjustments and even a hybrid trim in the near future. Stay tuned!
Power and Performance
The Bronco’s 2025 engines should be very much the same as those on current models. These include a turbocharged 2.3-liter I-4 engine found in the Base model, generating 275 horses and 300 lb-ft of torque on regular gas. (High octane ups the ante to 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque.) It’s paired with 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission and four wheel drive.
Should you decide you need more power, there’s the option of a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6, producing 315 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque on regular gas or 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft torque on premium. This particular engine can be paired only with the automatic transmission and not the manual.
But you want to know more about the hybrid—it’s almost certain that it will be introduced in the near future. The Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler have always been friendly rivals and now that the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is seeing decent sales, we suspect there's a Bronco hybrid on the horizon, ready to engage in some friendly competition.
What Safety Features Are Seen From the 2025 Ford Bronco?
Ford has always taken safety seriously and the new Bronco will likely feature its Co-Pilot360 suite, with driver assist and active safety features. These will include hill-start assist, front automatic emergency braking, and automatic high-beams. There’s also the likelihood features that were once optional—adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert—will be standard on some trims.
What Technology Is Seen In the 2025 Ford Bronco?
In 2024, Ford upgraded the infotainment touchscreen as standard at 12-inches. Of course, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity will remain a part of Ford's SYNC user interface in the Bronco, but there’s a possibility of a larger size infotainment screen as optional and an all-digital gauge display, which is currently only featured on higher trims.
Built-in trail maps and pre-wired auxiliary switches are embedded in the dash and will undoubtedly remain, while options like 360-degree camera and 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system may feature in more trims.
Is the 2025 Ford Bronco Worth Buying?
The 2025 Ford Bronco is set to drop in fall 2024—its lower trims will probably be priced in the mid-$40,000s. Whether you're interested in a practical but clean Base model or a Badlands with all the off-roading perks you can think of, we’ll have you covered.
