The Ford Bronco has been quite a success for the Blue Oval. Since the model's revival for the 2021 model year, the SUV has injected some excitement into the brand and given it a legit competitor to the venerable Jeep Wrangler. Ford sold 146,007 examples of the Bronco in 2025, which was up from 109,172 units in 2024.Since introducing the current Bronco, the biggest expansion to the lineup was the introduction of the high-performance Raptor version. Now, the company is looking to expand its lineup by launching a hybrid powerplant. The info comes straight from the top, with Ford CEO Jim Farley confirming the project. Electrifying The Bronco Ford Motor CompanyFarley didn't provide many details, but he was clear about the future. "We're going to have an all-hybrid lineup." he said on Spike's Car Radio podcast. "So, Bronco, everything you can buy at Ford will have a hybrid. We'll also have [extended-range EVs] for towing."The Bronco is currently available with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6, and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 for the Raptor. It shares powertrains and a platform with the Ranger pickup, which also doesn't currently have a hybrid powertrain option.The Bronco's primary rival, the Wrangler, already had a short-lived 4xe plug-in hybrid variant. However, Stellantis recently pulled the plug on all of its PHEVs, giving the upcoming Bronco hybrid a little less competition. Ford's Hybrid Future FordHowever, outside the United States, there's a Ranger plug-in hybrid made in South Africa that combines a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor and an 11.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, offering a 28-mile (45-kilometer) range purely on electric power. Ford previously said it wouldn't bring this version to the US.In China, there's a fully electric version of the Bronco, but it's mechanically unrelated to the model available in the US. The Bronco Basecamp packs a pair of electric motors, making a total of 445 horsepower. There's also an optional turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that functions as a range extender.In addition, the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid is available in the US and features an electrically assisted twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with a total combined output of 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. Plus, it gets 22 miles per gallon city, 24 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.Farley simply said during the interview that people "should expect a lot of exciting powertrains," without any specifics. Clearly, the company's parts bin already gives it several options for electrifying the Bronco. Whether a future Bronco hybrid is a plug-in model or a mild hybrid is unknown.Ford Motor Company In late 2025, there was a report about Ford prioritizing hybridization over creating full EVs. The automaker is investing $19.5 billion into the initiative, but it's not fully abandoning electric models. The future offerings would ride on the flexible Universal EV Platform, and the upcoming models using the underpinnings would allegedly include a midsize pickup truck. Separately, Ford is allegedly preparing a smaller Bronco plug-in hybrid for Europe that would sit on the C2 platform, which also underpins the Bronco Sport and Maverick.There are no details about when Ford plans to launch the hybrid Bronco. Given that this would be a new powertrain for an existing vehicle, the development could come together quickly, especially if the Blue Oval uses one of its existing hybrids.
