Teams compete in two categories based on vehicle capability: the X-Cross class for all-wheel-drive equipped crossovers and SUVs and the 4×4 class for vehicles with two-speed transfer cases and locking differentials. An additional electric vehicle, yet to be announced, will round out the pure EV trio. Electric start up Rivian will participate for the second year in a row with its R1T pickup and Volkswagen will enter its all-new ID.4 electric crossover. FordĪutomakers participating this year include Jeep, Porsche, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Mitsubishi, Ford and Honda. It was piloted by pro off-roader Shelby Hall and navigator Penny Dale, who will drive the two-door Bronco. Ford’s Bronco Sport took the title in the X-Cross category at the 2020 Rebelle Rally. “We have manufactures that enter for different reasons,” said Emily Miller, which founded the Rebelle Rally in 2015 to give women the opportunity to take vehicles with little to no off-roading modifications to remote places. Eleven automakers will support teams in the 2021 rally across all vehicle classes, including those that will get the new-last-year Electrified designation. The Rebelle is a competition for points not speed, with multiple challenges on terrain designed to test the capability of each participating vehicle. The 2021 Rebelle Rally marks the sixth year for the event and the largest amount of manufacturer participation to date. Fifty two-woman teams will race in a mix of crossovers, SUVs and pickups in the grueling ten-day race that starts October 7 at the Hoover Dam. ![]() The Rebelle Rally is an all-women off-road navigational competition that covers more than 1,400 miles of the western desert in the U.S. ![]() A Jeep Wrangler chases a Honda Pilot in the 2019 Rebelle Rally deep in the southern California desert.
