In a move that merges off-road heritage with future-ready innovation, Ford has officially taken the wraps off the all-electric version of its iconic Bronco SUV. Known for its rugged design and go-anywhere spirit, the Bronco is now stepping into the electric era with an impressive combination of modern technology, eco-conscious engineering, and bold styling updates.
While the idea of an electric Bronco has been circulating for years, the latest reveal confirms that Ford is serious about evolving its classic models to meet the demands of a rapidly electrifying market. The new Bronco EV retains the soul of the original, but adds a layer of cutting-edge design and performance enhancements.
Design: Modern Yet Rugged
The electric Bronco doesn’t stray too far from its roots in terms of aesthetics. It keeps the boxy silhouette, round headlights, and signature grille that made it a fan favorite. However, there are key updates that set the EV version apart — including a sleeker front fascia, LED lighting accents, and a more aerodynamic body profile.
The SUV rides on new EV-optimized wheels and beefed-up tires, ensuring it’s still trail-ready. It also features flush door handles, a closed-off grille, and unique “Electric Bronco” badging that clearly distinguishes it from the gas-powered variants.
Interior updates are equally impressive, with a focus on sustainability and tech. Expect vegan leather seating, recycled materials, and a massive touchscreen interface running Ford’s latest SYNC OS with over-the-air update support.
Performance: Electric Torque Meets Off-Road Power
Ford has equipped the Bronco EV with dual electric motors for an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup, promising instant torque and precise traction control — crucial for both off-road climbs and city driving.
While official specs are still under wraps, early leaks suggest an output of around 480 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, placing it squarely in performance SUV territory. This powertrain is expected to offer a 0-60 mph time under 5 seconds, making it not just capable, but quick.
The battery pack, likely to be around 100 kWh, is expected to deliver a range of 300+ miles on a single charge. Ford also promises fast-charging capabilities, with up to 150 kW DC charging support, allowing for 80% top-up in roughly 35 minutes.
Off-Road Features: Still a True Bronco
Being electric doesn’t mean it’s any less of a Bronco. The EV version retains essential trail-rated features like G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Terrain), locking differentials, disconnecting sway bars, and high ground clearance.
Ford has also added an electronic terrain monitoring system, enhanced trail navigation, and real-time torque vectoring, giving off-roaders a tech-infused way to conquer even tougher trails with greater confidence.
Connectivity and Smart Features
Inside, the Bronco EV is more connected than ever. Alongside a fully digital instrument cluster, the infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa integration, and Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving assist for highways.
Expect features like 360-degree cameras, over-the-air (OTA) updates, remote diagnostics, and FordPass app support for remote locking, charging status, and vehicle tracking.
The Catch: Price and Availability
While the new Bronco EV sounds like a dream for eco-conscious adventurers, there’s a catch — the price tag. Early estimates hint at a starting price of around \$60,000, which puts it out of reach for some traditional Bronco buyers.
Additionally, Ford has announced limited initial production focused on North America, with global availability rolling out in late 2026.
The electric Bronco is more than just a new version of an old favorite — it’s a signal that Ford is ready to lead the way in off-road electrification. While purists may raise eyebrows, there’s no denying that the bold design, high performance, and zero-emission powertrain make the Bronco EV a true evolution of the legendary SUV.
