Earlier today, one of Ford Philippines’s dealer principals revealed that the Ford Bronco is indeed arriving in the country soon. Unsurprisingly, interest surrounding the vehicle quickly picked up, and now, this has prompted Ford Philippines to officially release a statement that the Jeep Wrangler rival is indeed coming to the Philippines this year.
“Ford Philippines would like to share its official statement regarding the Bronco:
Ford Philippines is confirming the launch of the Ford Bronco this year. It will soon be open for reservation exclusively via the Ford online reservation portal at www.ford.com.ph, and will be supported by all Ford dealers nationwide. More information including product specifications and reservation timings will be shared closer to launch date.”
Yes, that’s right. The 2024 Ford Bronco is about to arrive in the Philippines soon. Just how soon is still unknown at this point, but we suspect that it might be revealed at the upcoming 2024 Manila International Auto Show. Anyway, as Ford hasn’t revealed anything about the vehicle’s specs, here are some of the possible features and powertrains that the Philippine-spec Bronco could get.
In order to determine what’s possible to arrive in the Philippines, we have to look at what the international specification Bronco gets. Last year, Ford began exporting the Bronco to Europe–the model’s first international market. In Europe, the Bronco is sold in two variants: Outerbanks and Badlands. Both models come with removable roof panels, High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) with up to 259 mm of suspension travel, rear locking differential, and a Terrain Management System with dedicated G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes, just to name a few. The Badlands variant adds Bilstein shocks, a locking front differential, and a front anti-roll bar disconnect for increased wheel articulation.
Regardless of which variant you’re choosing, the global spec 2024 Ford Bronco gets a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that produces 335 horsepower and 563 Nm of torque. This is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Even if the Bronco is a true off-roader, the SUV still manages to provide a comfortable and tech-rich interior experience. An 8-inch partially digital instrument cluster is paired with a 12‑inch LCD center touchscreen featuring the latest-generation SYNC4 communication and entertainment system, which benefits from Ford Power-Up wireless software updates for improved functionality over time. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard, alongside a B&O Premium Sound System with 10 speakers including a subwoofer.
Lastly, the 2024 Ford Bronco has been built for the modern off-r0ader, which means content creation will inevitably be a part of their adventures. The interior of the Bronco has attachment points on top of the instrument panel for a device rack, allowing customers to attach their cameras or mobile phones with dedicated 12-volt and USB power connections.
