Ford Bronco

Dearborn’s reborn off-road adventurer is now available in the UK as a grey import. Most likely works better overseas than it does here but is still good fun, if irrational Ever since the Ford Bronco was unveiled for the American market, Europe has been lusting after the retro-modern Jeep Wrangler rival. Until, finally, in early 2023 Ford confirmed that it would bring the Bronco to some European markets – albeit, sadly only a few left-hand drive countries, with France and Germany likely to be the biggest markets.But, the good news for those in the UK lusting after a Bronco is that you can get a new one (unofficially imported) here if you ask the right dealer: London’s Clive Sutton, which is also big into the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Corvette.Unveiled in 2020, reviving a grand old name, the Bronco is a separate-chassis 4x4 that comes in two-door or four-door forms. There’s also the Bronco Sport, a very different, smaller, more road-focused unibody SUV, although this model won’t be coming to Europe, which will only get the four-door version complete in Outer Banks or ultimate, hardcore off-roading Badlands spec with a 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine.Still, if you’re importing from America rather than Europe you can – of course – take your pick from the entire, full-fat, Bronco range. Even so, it is worth noting that there are persistent rumours of Ford making a right-hand drive Bronco for Australia (and other potentially relevant right-hand drive markets). For now, it’s a left-hooker or nothing.
