With a sophisticated new look, comprehensively updated interior, and more advanced technology than ever before, Transit Connect has evolved.
The trademark Transit toughness, durability and functionality still remain, in features including an ingenious load-through bulkheadTooltip and flexible front passenger seating. With short and long wheelbase options providing load volumes up to 3.6m³ (VDA), payload capacity of up to 982kg, and bodystyles including van and double-cab-in-van. But this is now an exceptionally sophisticated medium van equipped with valuable drive-assist technologies many of which are not available in cars today. Others help keep drivers connected, hands-free; to help them control and monitor their speed; and even to help protect pedestrians in their path.
Technology has also improved fuel economy and lowered emissions.
Spacious, well laid-out and highly functional: the loadspace features a full-height, full-width bulk-head (glazed or unglazed) and the choice of two or three seats in the cab. A sliding side load door and symmetrical rear cargo doors are fitted as standard. Plus, you can specify a glazed rear lift-gate with wash/wipe and heated de-mist option.
As well as two seats in the front row, the Double-Cab-in-Van has an extra row of three seats behind them. A moveable mesh bulkhead safely separates the second row of seats from the loadspace.
Whether you own one van or manage a fleet of up to five, the FordPass Pro app unlocks their smart side. Designed specifically for business vehicles, with features like SecuriAlert and Vehicle Health Alerts, FordPass Pro helps you keep your vans on the road, your cargo secure, and your business moving in this connected world.
HVO is based on waste oils, it’s a form of renewable paraffinic diesel fuel produced from a wide variety of raw materials including waste cooking oil using conventional oil refinement processes.
Also known as renewable diesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil can be used in Ford Transit vans in place of regular diesel, without any vehicle modifications. HVO gives transparent cold temperature start times versus regular diesel fuel. It can even be mixed with regular Diesel in your fuel tank, so no worries if there’s no HVO nearby.
Compared with conventional fossil fuels, HVO is a more environmentally friendly alternative that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to pump diesel, particularly if made from recycled raw materials.
Our 75 PS, 100 PS and 120 PS TDCi diesel engines impress with their refined power and superb efficiency. Whether your Transit Connect Van is on town or city roads or long drives on the motorway, their smooth torque delivery is invaluable on inclines or when overtaking.
Carry items up to 3.0 metres in length in the L1 van, thanks to the clever optional load-through bulkhead*. L2 models are capable of holding 3.4 metre long items
*Load-through bulkhead is an optional extra on some series when selecting Dual Passenger seat packs.
Active Park Assist can steer you into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces. Simply push a button and the sensors of this innovative system locate a suitable space as you drive past. Then it automatically steers in your Transit Connect Van. All you do is operate the accelerator, gears and brake (following on-screen instructions and audible signals). It will pull out of parallel spaces as well.
Pre-Collision Assist detects vehicles and pedestrians in the road ahead, or who could cross your van’s path, and warns you of their presence. If you don’t respond, the system automatically applies the brakes. This technology is designed to help reduce the severity of accidents, or help avoid them altogether, and functions at speeds of up to 80km/h (50 mph).
