2026 Ford Bronco
The 2026 Ford Bronco carries its adventurous DNA into the new model year while benefiting from mechanical and technological enhancements that make it more versatile than ever. Designed to tackle wide-open landscapes, the toughest roads, or even the urban jungle, the Bronco combines a rugged steel frame construction with an advanced four-wheel drive system. Its 294 mm ground clearance and 850 mm water fording capability place it among the best in its class. Available in two- or four-door configurations, it features a removable roof and body panels, perfect for nature getaways from Charlevoix to the Gaspé Peninsula.
Powertrains
Under the hood, Ford offers two engine options: a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.7L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 delivering 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft. A 10-speed automatic transmission remains the most common choice, though enthusiasts can still opt for a 7-speed manual gearbox on select models. Depending on the configuration, towing capacity reaches up to 3,500 lb. Fuel economy improves slightly, with ratings of 11.9 L/100 km combined for the 2.3L and 12.8 L/100 km for the V6, solid figures for an adventure-focused SUV. A 418-horsepower Raptor version is also available.
Technology
Inside, the 2026 Bronco features the SYNC 4 infotainment system displayed on a 12-inch touchscreen, now with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. A 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster offers customizable displays based on the selected drive mode. The vehicle also includes a 360-degree camera system and built-in navigation with off-road mapping. An available 10-speaker B&O sound system adds a premium touch to this already impressive SUV.
Off-Road Capability
The 2026 Bronco is built around the G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) system, offering up to seven drive modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Baja, and Rock Crawl. The newly available Wildtrak variant comes equipped with 35-inch all-terrain tires, front and rear locking differentials, and a disconnecting stabilizer bar for optimal traction on trails. The HOSS 3.0 suspension with FOX external reservoir shocks enhances comfort and control, even on the most demanding terrain.
Design
The exterior design of the 2026 Bronco evolves subtly, with a redesigned grille featuring updated BRONCO lettering, LED headlights with signature halo rings, and new colour options inspired by Canadian landscapes such as Muskoka Green and Tundra Blue. Inside, the cabin offers either washable surfaces or premium leather, depending on the trim. Standard equipment includes heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 110V outlet, and multiple USB-C ports. Don't be fooled, though while the interior offers a touch of luxury, it never compromises the athletic nature of this capable SUV.
