New Ford Bronco review: better than a Land Rover?

.............................................................

This is the new Ford Bronco! 

It’s an almighty, All-American off-roader and Mat’s taking it for a test drive to see if it really lives up to the hype! 

For starters, there’ll be no mistaking it for another car, thanks to the huge BRONCO badge up front. Not only that, but the boxy style & shape are instantly recognisable as Ford’s well-known off-roader.

When it comes to performance, there are two engines to choose, with the top-of-the-range being a 2.7-litre V6 that delivers 330hp & 560Nm of torque. It’s also equipped with AWD, and it comes as an automatic. 

So, does the new Bronco have what it takes to compete with its oh-so popular predecessors? Or are you better off looking elsewhere if you’re in the market for an off-roader? Mat’s about to find out!

So, do you need a Ford Bronco!? Let us know below!

[Totano]

We can all agree that we missed a big opportunity to go full "Cowwow" here

[xEnonCr]

"Someone from Birmingham with a cowboy hat" - isn't that just *Richard Hammond* 😂

[mebijose]

i love how some broncos can be pulled apart like a lego set

[PuddleNutzz]

The reason for the cheap materials on the interior is the same reason for all the seats to be manually adjusted, because it has floor drains and is made to be able to be sprayed out with a hose to rinse the dirt away.

[dantrack]

As an American i appreciate you wearing the cowboy hat throughout the entire video.

😂the moment when Matt realized you wouldn't need the window switch if the door wasn't there

[maddoctor]

FINALLY! Someone has realized the importance and scientific validity of the universal CGT (cup-glove test)

[iahili_]

I totally forgot about the existence of teletext… Made me realize how old I actually feel right now. 😂

[jackhogan]

As an American, I can say that parading animal carcasses around town on the hood of my car is one of my favorite past times!

[mark.p]

9:50 a possible reason for NO PLASTIC covers is that, if such a vehicle is used in wet off-road terrain. Then water could accumulate under the covers thus speeding up corrosion.

But still, I agree the finish should be better.

(That's exactly what happened on my old off-roader)

"obviously the americans need to push the steering wheel back because of their big bellies" -🤣🤣🤣 mat cracking me up

[fabulousprofound]

8:40 I think that is an emergency funnel adapter for a petrol jerrycan because the fuel filler is a capless design

[zakaria]

Me:"It was red in the thumbnail"
Mat:"It wasn't"
Me: "Wasn't it ? It was red"
Mat:"It wasn't"
Me: "I'd have sworn it was red, wasn'it it?"
Mat: "It was blue"

Those hooks on the hood are not only for tie downs, but for running lines to the corners of the roof. This is to push branches and debris away from the windshield when on trails, protecting the driver and vehicle.

[jamesm]

I LOVE your reviews, even if it isn't a car I'm interested in! Your wicked sense of humor, while still giving GREAT information is so much fun! Keep up the GREAT

[FOWBOWZ]

I test drove it at my local dealership here in the states and I had SO MUCH FUN. The turbo V6 is stout imo, it's big, beautiful, and have road presence. Can't wait to see what the Bronco R will look like

3:00 Clive Sutton is about to become Carwow’s equivalent of Doug Demuro’s CNC Motors

[RobG]

The two bits sticking up either side on the front of the bonnet are for attaching wires to them, then up to the attachment point on the roof or to the roof rack, the idea is that it will then deflect any tree branches etc off the bonnet and windscreen, just in case the trail gets narrow. :)

This is a true offroader and has a stunning design
