With the standard Bronco and Bronco Sport already available in the US\u2014as well as the Bronco EV available exclusively in China\u2014the Blue Oval will soon introduce a new Bronco plug-in hybrid. Unfortunately for American buyers, this one won\u2019t be sold in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/ford\/ane-ford-bronco-production-valencia-spain-1202\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Automotive News Europe<\/a>, Ford will debut a new compact SUV in 2027 that carries the &#8220;Bronco&#8221; name. This model, though, will be smaller than the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/704903\/2024-ford-kuga-facelift-specs\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22704903%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%222024-ford-kuga-facelift-specs%22%7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kuga<\/a> (aka, the Escape in the US) and entirely different from the Broncos sold stateside. It will also be built at Ford\u2019s Valencia plant in Spain, where the Kuga is currently produced.<\/p>\n<p>Positioned between the Puma and the Kuga, the new SUV is expected to feature a modern design that caters to Europe\u2019s growing demand for &#8220;urban&#8221; off-roaders. It will launch with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, though reports suggest Ford is planning a broader &#8220;multi-energy&#8221; approach. For now, there\u2019s no indication that a fully electric version is in the works.<\/p>\n<p>More than just another addition to Ford\u2019s SUV portfolio, the European Bronco is a strategic move intended to boost production in Spain. The decision to build it in Valencia comes as Ford scales back manufacturing and phases out long-standing models like the Mondeo, Galaxy, and S-Max.<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/16x9-tr.png\" alt=\"2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary package\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Ford<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Ford\u2019s Spanish facility only produces the Kuga. The introduction of a European Bronco could help revitalize output and bring new momentum to a plant that\u2019s been at the center of the company\u2019s restructuring efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of this new SUV aligns with a period of significant transformation for Ford. The new SUV highlights its commitment to redefining its European strategy in a more sustainable and focused way.<\/p>\n<p>                            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motor1.com\/photos\/909502\/2026-ford-bronco-60th-anniversary-package\/#8207476_2026-ford-bronco-60th-anniversary-package\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary package\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                    18                                <\/p>\n<p>\n                            Source: Ford                        <\/p>\n<p class=\"source-link\">\n                                    Source:<\/p>\n<p>                                                                            Automotive News Europe                                                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"comfort-title-large flex gap-spacing-sm-base items-center\">\n<p>\t\tWe want your opinion!\n\t<\/p>\n<p>What would you like to see on Motor1.com?<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/survey\/2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tTake our 3 minute survey.\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"compact-body-medium\">&#8211; The Motor1.com Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ford Bronco lineup is growing once again.
