The PHEV system will include a 4-cylinder gasoline engine as well as an electric motor.
Ford of Europe announced last Wednesday that it will electrify all of its commercial vehicles by offering plug-in hybrids/pure electric vehicles to all nameplates by 2024. According to a Blue Oval spokesperson, the next-generation Ranger already has some form of electrification. A new report by states that the midsize truck will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid and/or pure electric vehicle setup.
This plug-in hybrid system is new to production models. It reportedly combines a turbocharged, 2.3-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor. It will produce 362 horsepower (270kilowatts) as well as 680 Newton-meters (602 pound-feet).
These output numbers are likely to prove valid. This means that the 2023 Ranger Ranger PHEV will be much stronger than the current. Version Raptor Its twin-turbo 2.0 liter diesel is rated at 210 HP (157 kW), and 500 Nm (369 Lb-f
The Everest is the Ranger’s equivalent SUV model. This could allow both models to have an average fuel usage of three liters/100 km (78.4 mpg). With the Ranger being the basis for the next Amarok, it makes sense that Volkswagen’s ute adopts the plug-in hybrid system but with an all VW design.
The same Australian magazine claims that a new Ranger Raptor will use the EcoBoost turbo V6 2.7-liter turbo engine from the Bronco, which produces 310 horsepower (231 kW) as well as 540 Nm (almost 4000 lb-ft). The new model would be more powerful than the current one, and it would switch from diesel to gasoline while adding two cylinders.
Ford’s new Ranger and Everest will not be the only ones to be plugged, as there are also signs that the Bronco will be electrified. Ford has already removed a video that showed the SUV’s digital instrument cluster working. It had a dedicated EV Coaching display which suggested zero-emission capabilities.
