Reports Say Ford Will Bring China-Built Bronco New Energy to Australia in Right-Hand Drive

Overview

• Australian outlets report the Bronco New Energy is headed Down Under in right-hand drive, with the range-extender version expected instead of the US ladder-frame Bronco.
• Pricing is understood to target roughly AU$48,000 to just under AU$60,000, with some guidance pointing to a start near AU$55,000 and a launch window in late 2026 or early 2027.
• The REEV pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol engine acting as a generator with a 43.7 kWh battery, delivering about 180 km of electric-only range (WLTP estimate) and roughly 1,000 km total range.
• Quoted figures put the REEV at 0–100 km/h in about 5.8 seconds, and the unibody, five-seat layout marks it as a different proposition from the rugged American-market Bronco.
• Coverage notes the model could help offset Ranger and Everest emissions in Australia, and right-hand-drive production raises Malaysian prospects even as new EV taxes there could push pricing toward RM300,000.
