Great pics. I was leaning towards Iconic Silver but now I might be hot on the Cactus Gray trail ?. Especially since they added black interior to the FE. Definitely will be waiting for the back mod top. Seems to pop with the Cactus Gray body. Thanks for sharing ?.
That would be a great combo!

These are sitting out in front of the Chapel Hills Ford Truck Store. They just got them in yesterday or the day before. They will be there for the next week and then off to Ford Credit Executives.

The videos are now public!
Jeez, I was a block away yesterday.... Iā€™ll drop in today.

These pictures make Cactus look greenish. Can you confirm whether it has a green tint? Other pictures Iā€™ve seen of CG have been baby blue.
Itā€™s not the pictures making it look like it has a green tint. It does have a green tint. That was Fords intention and why it is called cactus grey. Iā€™ve also seen it in person and it definitely looks good.

There has been a CG Sport going around to the dealers near me the last couple days. I've been messaging those dealers trying to find out where it will be and if I can see it. I've missed it each time but most places sent me photos, and without me asking, most mentioned a greenish tint to it.

I also asked them which photos represented the truest colour and they all sent me one tyay showed that hint of green.

I'm back on the Cactus Express.

Area 51 doesn't present well on the Sport. It's still a top runner for me on the Bronco though.

I agree. I don't think cactus grey does, either. Both of those colors are stunners on the Bronco. Weird.

May have something to do with those lighter colors on all that surface area. Plus, there's nothing to "break it up" on the Sport like there is on the regular Bronco...the bigger tires, flares, and trail sights. So all you see is that big swath of light color.

I really like the pictures of A51 in the overland concept too. The bad thing about colors in pictures is every camera shows them differently. I really want to see them in person.

I'm in Colorado Springs and stopped by my dealership who had 5 Bronco Sports. (Colorado Springs is home to Ford Credit and all 5 will be drive by Ford Credit Executives for the next few months)

They had 2 Cactus Gray's and 2 Area 51's...in the sun and in the shade. Did my best to get photos and videos of both out in the sun and in the shade. After seeing them in person, I love the Cactus Gray.

Enjoy!

Nice! I donā€™t think I love A51 anymore.
I'm the same way abut Cactus Gray. I was really excited abut it at first and certain that was the color I wanted. However, as time has passed and more examples shown up, it now just looks bland to me. Which I guess is the point of a neutral flat color, but not what I think I want, even though it would be great for not showing dust/dirt. Of course it's possible that might change yet again between now and whenever we end up being able to actually order something.

Best images and videos yet. Thanks, took me from 60/40 cactus gray to 90/10 CG. Still want to see one in person for that final call.

I havenā€™t seen A51 in person but I did see the catalog last night and I saw the Cactus Gray in person at the dealership and I really liked the CG, the A51 wasnā€™t what I expected. But Iā€™m going to still search out an A51 Bronco sport just for my own curiosity.
Was A51 worse
Or better than what you initially thought

I like both cactus gray and A51 better in these pix than in the renders in B&P. Thank you for posting them!

I live in Chapel Hill and bleed Carolina Blue. That A51 is close enough for me. It's really similar to the "cool gray khaki" color of my Subaru Crosstrek that gets more compliments for the paint than any other car I've ever owned.

I've tried to talk myself in AMB or VB. I like both of them, too; but I feel confident in A51 as long as I don't go OBX. If I decided to go OBX, I'd have to get AMB or carbonized gray to make the body-colored fender flares work for me. But I'm still moving forward with Badlands in A51 at this point. That's been my pick for quite awhile now, and I haven't seen anything to that really changes my mind.
