Don’t hate that at all, basically a Ford Renegade.

If this is the size of that Jeep box I will be disappointed. Doesn’t matter though, I won’t buy one.

FYI this is the B aby Bronco, not the Bronco Bronco.

Looks like an SUV?

I hate the C-pillar, but the rest looks fine.

Ew. What platform is this thing based on?

Looks too much like a ford explorer from the rear to me.

The front isn’t bad, but the rear is very reminiscent of the Jeep Renegade like someone else mentioned. I don’t hate it overall and think it will look good with a small lift and slightly larger tires.

That rear wiper is hilarious.

I think it’s closer in size to the Cherokee.

It looks kind of like that is the installed blade though...

Hopefully it’s just what they had handy, seems like even with the hinge they should be able to get a little more coverage.

But it looks pretty production ready. It’s likely a pre- production vehicle and not a concept.

UserNotFound > kanadanmajava1 03/09/2020 at 10:52

It’s definitely pre-production. I guess only Ford knows why it’s got a 6" wiper blade.

I wonder if this is replacing the Ecosport?

It’ s basically just an gen 2 escape with a bronco grill, or as 412GTI said, A Ford Renega de...a Fordegade. It’ s a Fordegade. I t’ s alright. I would guess ecoboost 2.0, gm/ford transverse 9 speed, some type of disconnecting AWD system.  Stupid big hood.

Is the rear glass hinged ?!? How much you want to bet that they will say the two tone paint is to emulate the removable top of the big bronco?

I think it’s a Ford thing. I saw a new Navigator the other day and was baffled why it had such a tiny wiper for a large piece of glass.

If this can be equipped with a manual, I may have some serious wants for it. The actual Bronco probably will be priced out of my range, but this looks to be a Renegade/Compass competitior.

Hehehe, the new Bronco is based on Escape. There’s some good ads there that Ford won’t touch with a 100 yard pole.

I hope they learned their lesson about 10 years ago when all the hinges on explorer and escape glass fell apart. May this time they wind be made of cheap aluminum

Bronco Sport.

The new Bronco is on the T6 body-on-frame platform (new Ranger).

But your joke is still funny so I’ll allow it.

I would be shocked but very happy if this came with a manual. I think it’s closer in size to the Cherokee. I also really hope they make a Trailhawk-equivalent trim level.

From the pivot point to the top of the glass is the same length as the from the pivot point to the end of the wiper. I guess now we all know why it’s got a 6" wiper.

I would hope they offer an FX4 package or whatever Ford calls their “off road” package these days.

Must be a Ford thing. My parents had 2 different early 2000 Tahoe’s and both were perfect as far as the hinges on the rear glass. My mom currently drives and 11 Tahoe and I haven’t heard any complaints about the hinges either

I’ve been hoping these will have a more legit AWD system with a centre diff instead of a PTO unit , both for off-road credibility and to differentiate it from the Escape. Probably wishful thinking, but it would help in my considering one to replace the WRX.

HammerheadFistpunch > DasWauto 03/09/2020 at 13:02

yeah, these will for sure be PTO, not center diff.  The hope, as others have said, would be the GKN twinster from the Focus RS/Rangie evoke.  That has the ability to at least shift more than 50% of the torque to the rear axle.

I don’ t like it, but I don’ t hate it.  Cant wait to see the big bronco.

PS, that color looks a lot like the Anvil color on Jeeps. Love that color

I thought it would be a bit more retro boxy, not interested at all, just like the new Defender, it’s dead.

Just to clarify - are you possibly confusing the Bronco Sport (the Escape-based crossover presented here ) for the Bronco (the body-on-frame SUV that we haven’t seen yet)?

What a stupid way to name them. Let’s just put sport after everything. We did see the new Bronco, I was wondering why this looked like that.

DasWauto > HammerheadFistpunch 03/09/2020 at 14:49

That would be a nifty option and would definitely help sway me - I just don’t want anything that feels too FWD. if they do offer it, I would expect it’ll only come on the FX4 or whatever the T railhawk equivalent ends up being called.

Both the Bronco and the Bronco  Sport are considerations for my next DD, along with a few others that should debut soon. I’m looking forward to the reveals and details.

Well, we’ve seen pieces of it but not a full shot like the ones above.

Agreed, calling it the “Bronco “ and plastering BRONCO on the grille is definitely going to confuse people. They should have name it the Maverick or the Sport or the Mustang FX4.

FYI this is the Baby Bronco, not the Bronco Bronco.

I hate that this is a thing that needs to be clarified. Ford really should have given it its own unique name .

That’s not a Bronco, it’s a facelifted 2009 Escape.
