"Bronco"

Appears to be a Sport/Escape converted to EREV

It's the China version of a Bronco made by Ford's China factory partner.

I had an Aussie in my Bronco and he said they don't have it as it is "too big" even though the Ranger(made in Thailand) is on the same platform and is a best-selling "ute" in Australia. Australia also gets a Ranger Super Duty and diesel engine options so they are a bit of an odd Ford market.

Yes, one of the primary differences in the Australian market - they welcome Chinese imports and companies like BYD are gaining significant market share there.

I am somewhat surprised that they won't get "real" Broncos there - fullsize American pickups like the Ram are becoming more prevalent, and the Bronco has made its way into Europe and the Middle East - at least in small numbers.
If a Ram 2500 isn't too big, surely a Bronco will fit!

On a sidenote, I wish Robert would stop doing so many EV videos. I used to be stoked every time a video dropped from either of his channels but I can't even pretend to care about Chinese EV content.

Naturally missing from all of the media and ford labelling..."Sport".

This is what the Eastern hemisphere gets for giving us the Prado as a "Land Cruiser"

thanks for posting @geargeek. Concept/capbilities are interesting, though I wonder if weight is not the real limiting aspect for anything more than a moderate trail (same as BEV's)...although, it ain't like our modern Wranglers/Bronco's are lightweight.
