2023 Ford Bronco

The all-new Bronco squarely targets the Jeep Wrangler, revitalizing a rivalry from the 1960s. The boxy Bronco comes in two- and four-door configurations, with a soft top and available removable hardtop. There are seven trim levels, enabling the Bronco to span from a barebones base model to a well-equipped, upscale off-roader. All versions have four-wheel drive and removable doors. The Bronco will be offered with a choice of two turbocharged engines, a 2.3-liter four-cylinder and a 2.7-liter V6. There are two transmissions offered: a 7-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic. The clean, car-like interior design offers a variety of features to aid off-roaders, such as floor drains, water-resistant controls, a 360-degree camera, and navigation with trail maps powered by Ford's new Sync 4 infotainment system. Ford Co-Pilot360, a suite of advanced safety and driver assist features that includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, will be standard. For 2025, all models received a standard 12-inch digital gauge cluster.

Brand context

About Ford

<p>Ford shifted away from cars this decade, focusing on SUVs and pickup trucks, with the Mustang as the lone exception. Fords are seldom leaders in their segments based on CR’s tests and surveys, but the small Maverick and full-sized F-150 trucks are notable standouts. Some other models score well enough to earn our recommendation, such as the Escape Hybrid and Bronco Sport. The Mustang Mach-E EV is Ford's highest-scoring current model. Overall, Ford's new car reliability is above average, but it varies, so used-car buyers should be mindful to check our ratings. </p><p><br/></p>
