"Initial impressions of the China-only (so far) electrified Bronco are starting to roll in from Chinese media, and things are looking promising. The YouTube Channel Telescope got its hands on one, and its impressions are of a manufacturer that is finally trying to take China seriously. For starters, you should know that the Bronco New Energy is available both as a conventional electric SUV and as an extended-range EV (EREV) with a gas generator that feeds the battery."
"For a lot of markets outside of the U.S. and Europe, JMC produces some small crossover products with Ford badging and styling, but mostly JMC mechanicals. It is styled to look very similar to the full-fat Bronco and Bronco Sport available in the States, but it shares little with the Ford vehicles we get here. Power comes either from a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and 43.7-kWh battery in the EREV version,"
The Ford Bronco New Energy is a midsized electrified crossover produced by JMC-Ford for the Chinese market. The vehicle will be offered both as a full battery-electric SUV and as an extended-range EV (EREV) that uses a gas generator to recharge the battery. The base EREV model starts at $32,500. Much of the mechanical architecture and components come from Jiangling Motors (JMC) while exterior styling resembles the U.S. Bronco and Bronco Sport but shares little mechanically. The EREV pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a 43.7-kWh battery. Early Chinese media impressions are positive and the model targets rivals such as BYD, Nio, and Jetour.
