What’s new for the 2025 Ford Bronco?
Rumor has it that the Bronco will get a major update for 2025. Having debuted for the 2021 model year, this sixth-generation SUV is definitely due for a mid-cycle refresh. Updates would include new technology, with the potential additions of Ford’s hands-free highway driving system, BlueCruise, and the latest infotainment interface, the Ford Digital Experience. And there’ll likely be some newly available paint colors or appearance packages, as well as some off-road-friendly accessories.
Will there be a 2025 Ford Bronco plug-in hybrid?
Although it doesn’t look like 2025 will be the year of the hybrid Bronco, we’re keeping our fingers crossed! After all, we’re still waiting for an official announcement from Ford about what to expect from this (potentially) refreshed Bronco SUV. Whether the Bronco eventually offers a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain, we’d bet our money on a powertrain that’s both thrifty and incredibly powerful!
While we don’t know much about the Bronco’s potential hybrid powertrain, we expect to see its current engine options rejoin the new lineup.
Specs include:
- Turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 325 lb-ft of torque)
- Optional turbo 2.7L V6 (330 hp, 415 lb-ft)
- Raptor-specific turbo 3.0L V6 (418 hp, 440 lb-ft)
- Seven-speed manual transmission
- Optional 10-speed automatic
- Four-wheel drive
Is the 2025 Ford Bronco comfortable?
Absolutely! Both body styles — known as the 2-Door and 4-Door — are roomy and comfortable, with five seats for you and your loved ones. Compared to the 2-Door model, the Bronco 4-Door offers roomier rear seats and a bigger cargo hold, making it the best choice for fun-loving families!
We’re not sure if the upcoming Bronco will offer the same nine trim models as the current model (namely, the Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, Badlands, Everglades, Wildtrak, Heritage Limited Edition, and Raptor). However, we expect most if not all to return for the upcoming model year, offering your choice of trail-friendly upgrades and plenty of comfort and style options! If the upcoming Bronco does get a refresh, it’ll likely come standard with the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment setup. And you’ll be able to move up the trim levels for high-end upgrades, such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, and even a premium sound system.
When will the 2025 Ford Bronco be released?
Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten any official word from Ford on when the company plans to release its new Bronco. But we expect to learn more very soon! When we do, we’ll update this space with everything we know about this SUV, and in the meantime if you have questions please call us at Keystone Ford!
