Ford's ultimate off-road vehicle is coming to Europe for the first time. As you might expect, the price of this SUV has significantly increased after crossing the ocean compared to its country of origin.

The new Ford Bronco is now available for order in Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Portugal, Andorra, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 

The SUV is powered by 2.7L V6 EcoBoost gasoline engine, which produces 335 hp (246 kW) of power and 563 Nm of torque. The turbocharged engine is mated with 10-speed automatic transmission, which transfers torque to the wheels through 4x4 system. It also features Ford's Terrain Management System with up to seven GOAT (Goes Over Any Terrain) modes: Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock Crawl and Baja.

Only the four-door Outer Banks and Badlands will arrive in European showrooms before the end of the year. Starting prices for these models are ridiculously high compared to what they cost back home in the United States. Specifically, the Outer Banks and Badlands carry MSRPs of 74,500 and 78,500 Euros in Germany.

That's $80,940 and $85,290 at current exchange rates. By comparison, the Outer Banks with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost costs $52,375 in the United States. The Badlands with the same engine is $54,715 (excluding destination charge).

What do you get for that money? In the case of the Outer Banks, the equipment list includes LED headlights, high-beam assist, 18-inch alloy wheels, Ford SYNC infotainment and navigation, B&O audio, 360-degree cameras, partial leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control, and an intelligent speed limiter. Oxford White is the only no-cost exterior color, while everything else ranges between 1,200 and 1,300 euros ($1,305 and $1,415).

As for the Badlands, look for smaller wheels and larger tires, a beefier front bumper, matte-black rather than body-color fender flares, roof rails, and locking front and rear differentials. Both the Badlands and the lesser Outer Banks come with the color-molded black hardtop.
