最近国外网站发布了福特未来将发布的消息SUVBronco合成图，该车是福特计划在未来两年内推出的多款车型之一。从合成图看，Bronco造型方正，前后悬很短，这种设计让人联想到包括吉普CJ，路虎卫士和丰田FJ40等经典越野车型。它的车头采用细窄格栅，复古风格圆形前大灯和周围一圈LED行驶灯。车门侧面可见突出的轮拱，让车辆更具肌肉感。硕大的车顶行李架可以让车主装载更多物品。该车动力总成完全处于保密状态，从车辆专注于越野这一点看，全轮驱动应该是必不可少的。而它紧凑的车身尺寸则预示着，该车将搭载福特的四缸涡轮增压引擎。如果福特希望该车能具备优异越野性能，锁止差速器和低速传动箱也是必备的。目前还不清楚该车发布时间，福特未来几年有多款新车和改款车型。其中新一代Escape和探险者将于明年发布。另外，野马跨界车和这款Bronco 也在计划之中。

 

Ford’s Baby Bronco Rendered, Ready To Take On Jeep

During an event in March, Ford detailed some of its product plans for around the next 24 months, and the automaker dropped some major surprises there. For example, there's a Mustang-inspired crossover on the way, and the Blue Oval is preparing a rugged compact SUV, too. The automaker doesn't yet have a name for the model, so the Motor1.com teams simply refers to it as the "Baby Bronco" since the model seems to be a tinier interpretation of the upcoming Bronco revival.

 

The SUV appears to have a boxy shape and short overhangs that evokes classic off-roaders like the Jeep CJ, Land Rover Defender, and Toyota FJ40. There's a narrow grille up front and retro-tinged circular headlights with an LED ring around them. There are also prominent fenders that lend a muscular aesthetic to the vehicle. A big roof rack should allow carrying plenty of gear, too.

 

Powertrain details are a complete mystery. Given the model's off-roading focus, all-wheel drive seems like a certainty. The vehicle's compact size would make one of Ford's four-cylinder turbocharged engines plenty powerful for motivating the SUV. If the Blue Oval really wants to make this rig capable in the mud and dunes, then it would offer useful tech like locking differentials and a low-range transfer case, too.

 

The debut date for the Baby Bronco is also a mystery, and Ford has lot of new and updated SUVs on the way in the coming years. For example, new generations of the Escape and Explorer arrive in 2019. Plus, the Mustang crossover and Bronco are on the way, too.
