Ford announced an EREV Bronco Sport, not for the US.

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

The EV gets an AWD power train with a 130 kW motor at the front and a 202 kW motor at the rear. The top speed is 170 km/h. The LFP Blade battery is sourced from BYD Findreams. It has a 650-kilometer range.

The EREV gets a 110 kW 1.5 turbo liter range extender + two electric motors: 130 kW front and 180 kW rear. The LFP battery comes from BYD Findreams again. EV range is 220 km and combined range is 1220 km. The top speed is also 170 km/h.

Too bad they won't bring it to North America, that is a very compelling EV! With the exaggerated WLTP range specs, even if you cut it down significantly to be a more realistic range it's still very compelling. An EV Bronco sport would be one of the few vehicles capable of stealing me away from a Scout at this point.

My ideal EV to replace the Mustang Mach-E when it hits 160k km (100k tariff units) is a Bronco Sport or Rav4 or R2 sized BEV. I want to be able to do the trails I used to do, but too many cars these days are massive beyond reasonability.

Hahaha "tariff units" haha I like that. Yeah, I'm even thinking the Scout might be too big. It's certainly pushing my size limits. I'd rather something a bit smaller and more manoeuvrable.

The new SUV’s wheelbase is a massive 116.1 inches (2,950 mm), which matches the wheelbase of America’s big Bronco in four-door form, and is way bigger than the 105.1 (2,670 mm) of the current Bronco Sport. When it comes to length the 197.8-inch (5,025 mm) Chinese car outranks both the Bronco (189.4 inches / 4,810 mm) and Bronco Sport (173.4 inches / 4,400 mm).

And it’s the same story with the track, which is wider on the Chinese car than on both US Broncos in stock form (America’s extra-wide Bronco Wildtrak just sneaks its wheels out far enough to take the overall win). Weight? The New Energy comes in at a tubby 5,535 lbs (2,510 kg) in hybrid guise and 5,800 lbs (2,630 kg) as an EV. That compares with just 3,500 lbs (1,590 kg) for the lightest US Sport, while even a Bronco Raptor only weighs 4,945 lbs (2,240 kg).
