The Bronco Sport wasn t in the original plan at Ford.
The prototype that would become the Bronco Sport started out as a boxy, bland, nondescript, unmemorable small SUV.
Definitely not part of a legendary Bronco family.
And the project that became the Mustang Mach-E SUV was initially going to be a cautious toe in the water for an automaker debuting its first dedicated all-new, all-electric vehicle. It was conceived to help meet fuel economy targets for the company.
Now each SUV has a waiting list.
Owners of the 2021 Bronco Sport report being treated like Hollywood royalty. And the vehicle s impressive off-road driving features have been designed to challenge Jeep and live up to the qualities that make the Bronco one of the most valuable collector cars in history.
