2020 Ford Bronco in Rochester, MN | Ford Dealership

It has been over 20 years since Ford decided to retire the Ford Bronco. Now, it is back and Bronco loyalists are eagerly awaiting its release. This is what we know so far about the 2020 Ford Bronco.

Exterior Design

Many Ford drivers are asking the same question: will the Ford Bronco resemble what it was back in 1996 when the last one rolled off the manufacturing line?  The answer is, no one knows for sure, as the design may still change before 2020. What we do know, however, is that the 2020 Ford Bronco will go into the SUV category The exterior will share some of the same designs as the Ford Bronco that we remember while also using design cues from modern times.

The boxier body is reminiscent of its heritage while the removable doors function in a way that is only done today. The entire exterior will share a platform with the next-generation Ford Ranger. Drivers will have the option to choose from either two or four removable doors, as well as a removable top for a complete wind-in-the-hair experience. One of the more recent rumors suggests that the removable top will be similar to a convertible top except that you can pull it back like a cargo cover.

Interior Design

The interior design has yet to be confirmed. However, it is likely that it will feature a similar design pattern as the exterior which includes historical designs intertwined with modern accents. It is also possible that Ford Bronco drivers will have the opportunity to take advantage of driver assistive features that were not available in the 1990s. Following Ford’s other 2019 vehicles, that means that we can expect the ability to sync to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for hands-free navigation, phone calls, and text messages.

Performance

Some drivers want to know what the Bronco will look like while others are more concerned about its performance capabilities. The Ford Bronco that we remember was capable and the 2020 one has some pretty high expectations to meet. Although performance specs are not yet confirmed, there are rumors that it will feature a turbocharged V-6 engine with a seven-speed engine and an optional hybrid.

Safety Features

Ford has yet to establish exactly which safety features will be included in the 2020 Bronco. But, Ford has advanced active and passive safety features. You can expect safety features like lane keeping assist system, blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Ford also offers the Ford MyKey program. This program, designed specifically for teen drivers will give you the confidence you need to hand the keys over to your teen driver while also entrusting that they will be safe on the road. MyKey reminds teens to use their seatbelt, turn down the radio to a safe level, and can even automatically activate all available safety features.

We may have to wait a while for more details and an actual release date. In the meantime, come by Rochester Ford today to check out our full 2019 Ford inventory.
