Ford Bronco

Let’s kick things off with the Ford Bronco. The iconic SUV has been launched in the local market in just one variant. In fact, reservations for the Bronco have been open since February, 2024. So, in case you missed it, the new 4x4 machine here in the local market flaunts Ford’s 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. It pumps out a healthy 330 horsepower at 5,750 rpm, and a push-you-into-your-seat 555 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. Power is sent to the wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

In terms of pricing, you’ll have to fork up quite the tidy sum of P4,998,000 for this model, but you’ll have lots of colors to choose from including Race Red, Eruption Green, Cactus Gray, Oxford White, Shadow Black and Azure Gray which carries with it a P20,000 premium.

Ford Mustang

Anyone who’s anyone knows how legendary the Ford Mustang is, and the seventh-generation model serves as the culmination of all the technology Ford has ever thrown into this muscle car. Here in the Philippines, buyers have two powertrain options—the upgraded Coyote V8 engine and a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-banger.

Mustang purists would argue that the V8 engine is where it’s at, and this 4th generation Coyote V8 is quite the powerhouse, with a whopping 486 hp and 567 Nm of torque at its disposal. Power is sent to the rear axle via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, drivers looking for a more efficient drive will be better served by the Ecoboost model. The 2.3-liter turbocharged engine pumps out a decent 314 hp and 475 Nm of torque, which is plenty powerful for a spirited and engaging drive.

As for pricing and availability, the seventh-generation Ford Mustang carries an SRP starting at P3,499,000 for the turbocharged Ecoboost variant, and P3,999,000 for the V8 variant.
