The headlights carry a Bronco Sport influence, though they forgo the signature round LED graphics. From the side, round fender flares, pop-out door handles, and an upright windshield with black pillars add to the vehicle\u2019s bold look. <\/p>\n<p>At the rear, a full-size spare tire and vertically stacked taillights bring to mind the Land Rover Defender, while the clear finish gives it a contemporary touch.<\/p>\n<p>Moving inside, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-Bronco\">Bronco<\/a> identity shines through, highlighted by the emblem on the flat-bottom steering wheel. Though parts of the interior remain concealed, we can still make out a high-mounted center console featuring ample storage and a free-standing infotainment screen seamlessly integrated into the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size and Unibody Architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spy Shots Autohome<\/h4>\n<p>While the exact dimensions and positioning of this model remain unclear, it appears to be larger than the US-spec <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-bronco-sport\/\">Ford Bronco Sport<\/a>, which measures 4,387 mm (172.7 inches) long. This could be Ford\u2019s response to the perceived preference of Chinese customers for bigger and roomier vehicles. For context, the five-door Bronco stretches to 4,800-4,825 mm (189-190 inches) in length.<\/p>\n<p>A look underneath suggests that the SUV is based on a unibody architecture. This is probably the biggest point of differentiation from the regular Bronco that rides on a ladder-frame chassis sourced from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-ranger\">Ranger pickup<\/a>. It remains to be seen whether this Chinese model will share its unibody foundation with the Bronco Sport, Escape\/Kuga, and Focus, or if Ford has something entirely different in mind for its new Bronco variant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/04\/a-new-ford-sedan-has-been-spied-in-america\/\">A New Ford Sedan Has Been Spied In America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ford-Product-Plan-China-2025.jpeg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Ford\u2019s Mysterious New Bronco SUV Surfaces In China And It\u2019s Unlike Anything Else\" width=\"2500\" height=\"941\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ford-Product-Plan-China-2025-1024x385.jpeg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>A screenshot from Ford\u2019s product plan presentation in China.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Elements such as the covered grille, the aero-friendly alloy wheels, and the dual ports on the rear fenders suggest that the SUV is fitted with an electrified powertrain, which would be a first for a Bronco-badged product.
