Ford Germany released a new line of EVs set to come out in the coming years… tell me this picture doesn’t look like a Bronco Sport EV?

I really hope they diversify the BS lineup more in terms of powertrains. Hybrid, PHEV, and EV versions would be killer. If they do a hybrid/PHEV I would absolutely get one and even keep it long term.

I think these are all mini/work vans with new headlight assemblies.

The Transit Courier does indeed have the silhouette profile of a Bronco Sport. It's probably a really easy conversion; take out the back seat and make it a mini cargo van.

I'm a little disappointed that Ford Motor Company left the Bronco line out of their recent gas/electric hybrid and EVs. I think having different powertrain options for the Bronco models would give Ford the best position in all markets.

My guess is work out the kinks on the Maverick hybrid and supply chain, then roll out a Bronco Sport hybrid in 2-3 years.

There was a specific reason Ford couldn't sell the BS in Europe as is or without some redesign. I think the wheels being flush with the edge of the body was part of the problem.

Can someone explain what they mean by transit and tourney?

Ford Transit was initiated as a large cargo van. Now they are making smaller versions. I believe the Tourney is a European name for a Ford sedan vehicle.
