Ford Replaces Bronco's 2.7L Engine With 3.0L Turbo Across 2027 Lineup

The 2027 Ford Bronco lineup now features Ford’s twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter EcoBoost V6 in place of the older 2.7‑liter EcoBoost across several trims. The engine, which powers the high‑performance Raptor, is available in the Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage, and the new Filson models, while the entry‑level and Big Bend variants keep the 2.3‑liter inline‑4. Ford’s decision removes the 2.7‑liter from the range and brings the more powerful V6 to a broader audience.

Engine Upgrade Across the Line

In the Raptor the 3.0‑liter V6 produces 418 horsepower and 440 lb‑ft of torque, but in the other models it is detuned to 380 horsepower, keeping the same 440 lb‑ft of torque. The change brings the Bronco’s V6 power above the former 2.7‑liter’s 315 horsepower and 410 lb‑ft, and mirrors the move Ford made with the F‑150, where the 3.0‑liter replaced the 2.7‑liter with similar output but a different power band. It remains unclear whether the 2.7‑liter will be entirely phased out of the Bronco line.

Additional updates to the 2027 Bronco include a heated steering wheel on the Big Bend with the Mid Package, premium vinyl seats in the Outer Banks, improved marine‑grade vinyl in the Badlands, and a power‑adjustable driver’s seat. New colors such as Neptune Blue replace Velocity Blue, and the Filson models arrive in exclusive Field Green and Iron Sands Metallic. Ford has not yet announced pricing for the updated lineup.
