As Ford Authority previously reported, the all-new S650 generation 2024 Ford Mustang gained a matte clear film option from the factory earlier this year, which was developed by PPG, and is designed to not only give that model a unique look, but also, the film protects it from the elements and things such as bird droppings, bugs, asphalt residue, and even harsh chemicals used in automatic car washes. Now, the 2025 Ford Bronco is getting the same type of factory matte clear film option, too.
Among a bevy of changes in store for the 2025 Ford Bronco, The Blue Oval has added another one to that list – the new, factory-installed Matte Clear Film, as it’s called. This treatment gives the SUV a matte finish as is all the rage these days, and can be applied to any factory hue. Aside from updating its looks, this new Matte Clear Film also provides some extra protection for the paint from things like road salt, bugs, and asphalt residue, not to mention potential hazards when traveling off the beating path. The new Matte Clear Film is available on all two- and four-door 2025 Ford Bronco models and trims, save for the Raptor. The automaker hasn’t yet announced pricing, however.
In addition to this new offering, the 2025 Ford Bronco isn’t getting any sort of price increase – save for the Base trim, which is returning following a one-year absence, as it’s a little over $3,000 pricier than it was for the 2023 model year. As Ford Authority previously reported, the 2025 Ford Bronco is getting a pair of new offerings – the Stroppe Edition and Free Wheeling Package – both of which are retro throwbacks to the SUV’s past. However, the Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage Limited, and Black Diamond series have been deleted, though the latter moniker is now being used as the name for a newly optional package. Otherwise, there are a host of other tweaks present throughout the lineup.
For starters, 2025 Ford Bronco models equipped with the turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine now come standard with Electric Brake Boost rather than the old vacuum brake boost setup. The entire lineup is getting ambient footwell lighting as standard equipment, while the heated steering wheel is included as standard on the Outer Banks, Badlands, and Raptor trims.
The 12-inch digital gauge cluster is now included as standard equipment, the Bronco Badlands has gained the HOSS 3.0 suspension as an option, and the FITS system present in the Ford Maverick is now available, too. In four-door models equipped with the 10-speed automatic transmission, the rear HVAC vents have moved from the floor to the rear portion of the center console, though much of the lineup has lost its grab handles and the entire range has ditched the wireless charging pad. Finally, the 2025 Ford Bronco Raptor is adding three new exterior color options, but is also losing a total of six.
