Since returning after a 25-year hiatus, the Ford Bronco has
re-emerged as a rugged mid-size SUV that combines modern technology and comfort
with classic design and toughness. The 2022 Ford Bronco,
recently named the 2022 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, continues
that tradition with a number of great features that give drivers the
versatility that they need to hit both the streets and the trails. Here are a
few of our favorites:
Performance That Can Handle Whatever You Throw at It
As with any performance vehicle, the Bronco's innovation
begins under the hood, where it features a powerful 2.3L EcoBoost engine and
either a 7-speed manual (standard on the 2-door model) or 10-speed automatic
transmission (standard on the 4-door model and optional on the 2-door). For the
performance junkies out there, the engine can be upgraded to a 2.7L EcoBoost
for even more power and versatility.
Following in the tradition of the Broncos that came before it, the 2022 model
features rugged 4x4 capability with Part Time Selectable Engagement standard on
both 2-door and 4-door models. If you plan on taking your Bronco off-road
often, you can opt for the advanced 4x4 with Automatic On-Demand Engagement and
such features as Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist, and Trail One-Pedal Drive,
making the Bronco the most advanced 4x4 vehicle on the market.
Stay Connected While Riding in Comfort
Inside, the Bronco is loaded with technology that keeps you
connected without sacrificing comfort. Featuring a state-of-the-art 6-speaker
stereo system with full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, it's a
breeze to enjoy your favorite music or make hands-free calls on-the-go, all
without having to take your hands off the wheel. And with the SYNC LCD
touchscreen displaying your favorite navigation app, you'll never get lost even
on the most remote of adventures.
Other modern conveniences that come standard on the 2022 Bronco include
push-button start, a rearview mirror with daytime and nighttime modes, two 12V
outlets, and smart charging USB ports in both the front and the rear, ensuring
that even when enjoying the great outdoors, you're able to stay connected with
the outside world.
Classically-Inspired Design With Modern Flair
Inspired by the exterior of the 1976 model, the Bronco is one of the most instantly-recognizable vehicles on the road thanks to its classic design. That doesn't mean that the 2022 model is outdated by any means, though, thanks to rounded edges, configurable daytime running lamps, and a modernized grill that brings the Bronco's old-school ruggedness into the 21st century.
Both the 2-door and 4-door models come standard with a removable top, in either hard (standard on 2-door, optional on 4-door) or soft (standard on 4-door) variations, making it easy to take in the breeze and sunshine in style.
All in all, the 2022 Bronco is the perfect mid-size SUV for adventure-seekers who need the reliability of an every-day vehicle with the option to let loose and hit the trails on the weekends. Stop on in to Crain Ford of Jacksonville to test drive one of these impressive machines today!
