Recently, there have been reports about Ford's plan to launch the new Bronco at the Detroit International Auto Show in January 2016, the report adds.
The last time that the American carmaker released an official announcement about the Bronco was in 2004 during the North American Motor Show in Detroit. At that time, Ford unveiled it as a concept car and that became the basis for the speculations on how the new Bronco will look like, the report details.
Based on the 2004 concept, the 2016 Ford Bronco will sport a box-like roof line, round headlights, and a short wheel-base. The vehicle will also have ample room for family members and their luggage. Because of its high ground clearance, the concept car will be an ideal vehicle for off-road trips. In addition, the new Bronco is rumored to be made of aluminum and high-strength steel to make the vehicle strong and light at the same time.
While some have dismissed news about the 2016 Bronco as a mere prank, fans continue to hope that they will see the iconic vehicle resurrected. Ford, on the other hand, has chosen to remain mum on the issue.
Should the firm finally decide to start production for the 2016 Ford Bronco, the vehicle will become a best-selling SUV. As of now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement from the company. More information about the new Bronco is expected to surface next year.
