Ford have unveiled their new Bronco and Bronco Sport SUVs. The design harks back to the popular truck-based utility vehicle of the same name, introduced in 1965 with 7-inch round headlamps and vertical taillights. The 2021 models have…round headlamps and vertical taillights! But this time round, they’re packed with LED technology.
The LED headlamps are standard equipment, and they don’t use the miniature rectangular optics that have found favour with Ford stylists (but not with IIHS headlight testers) on most of Ford’s other truck models. Instead they use a horizontally divided big round shape, with the low beam produced by the upper reflector and the high beam by the lower one.
Tail lights are box-style items with multilayer design. And in between, it looks like the various models and trim packages will add a variety of lights on the sides, not to mention auxiliary forward lighting for going off-road (or at least looking like one might go off-road, even if it’s only at the grocery store parking lot).
