The Ford Transit Connect is not the smallest model in the Ford Transit van line-up. It had been exactly that ever considering its own influx in 2002, however its crest was haggard with the instigation of the even smaller Transit Courier in 2014. It has powerful Ford Duratorq TDCi engines and practicality of a larger van.
The connect is quite a vehicle what we name a compact van, however, and that tag tones it into direct competitors like the Volkswagen Caddy, Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo and Renault Kangoo and quite a few others.
It’s a crowded marketplace but Ford’s all-conquering Transit brand title gives the Transit connect a priceless head start for consumers even before we get down as to if it’s any excellent or no longer. Transit has more than 350 variations available in the market and it keeps the crown of being the best ever light commercial vehicle in the UK since many decades.
As is the standard for this van segment, the Transit Connect comes in a couple of load lengths. They’re named L1 and L2 and supplemented by a 7-seat passenger version referred to as the Kombi.
Midway between the two is the Transit Connect Double Cab which adds a row of seats to manage five passengers and even so enormous load space in the back of the van. The available trims are Base, trend and limited – however there are ECOnetic Engines that add further fuel effectivity too and saves more.
Within the engine bay, Ford Transit connect relies on Ford’s Duratorq TDCi diesel engines. The 1.6-litre engine is available in three states of power, TDCi 75 with 74bhp, Ford Duratorq TDCi 95 engine capable of generating 94bhp and TDCi 115 making 113bhp. There’s also the interesting probability of specifying Ford’s spectacular 99bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine.
Few van buyers will probably be tempted far from diesel however for mild-obligation urban work, the tiny faster petrol can make feel.
The worst combined fuel economy figure that you could get with the Ford Transit connect is the 50.4mpg achieved by the EcoBoost petrol model. The 1.6-litre TDCi diesel engine options that nearly every person will prefer all fall into the 57.6mpg to 70.6mpg bracket which means CO2 emissions of 105g/km to 128g/km.
