Spy photographers have caught a lightly updated Ford Bronco. SUV sports a new grille, restyled wheels, and revised fender flares. Interior updates are also expected including a wrapped dashboard. Ford recently announced a handful of mid-year updates to the 2026 Bronco, but it appears even more changes are in store for the future. This includes some minor styling changes inside and out. As you can see, spy photographers recently caught what appears to be a facelifted Bronco Badlands prototype. While it looks fairly normal at first glance, the model has been equipped with an all-new grille featuring small mesh squares and revised “Bronco” lettering. That isn’t the only change as the SUV rides on a new set of wheels that likely measure 17 inches. They’re wrapped in meaty Goodyear Territory RT tires and look to be beadlock-capable. Baldauf A closer inspection reveals lightly revised fender flares, which are closely related to those offered on the current Sasquatch Package. While they look identical at first glance, the front flares have a flat design, where the current ones curve up at the outside edges. Likewise, the front lower section of the rear fenders appears thicker and more uniform than before. The upgrades continue inside as we can see a new wrapped dashboard with contrast stitching. This is a pretty fancy touch and it’s notable as the feature is missing from the 2027 Bronco RTR. This design flourish would seem like a natural addition to upscale trims, but it’s possible this could be a new option. Baldauf Little else is known about the model at this point, but Ford CEO Jim Farley recently reiterated plans for a Bronco Hybrid. The eco-friendly variant was originally announced in 2018, but apparently shelved as the automaker focused on EVs. However, it’s back on as the Blue Oval is embracing hybrids once again. It’s also worth noting the Bronco could be in for some suspension changes as spy photographers snapped a prototype driving on a “particularly punishing track surface, and then over to a set of dips that would challenge wheel articulation and approach and departure angles.” The model had “some green plastic bits screwed onto the undercarriage” and the automaker appeared to be filming the tests for later analysis.
