Ford Transit Connect Overview
A van built to take on tough work, with eye-catching good looks. This accurately describes the Ford Transit Connect range of vans & double cab in vans. Add to this the latest fuel efficient engines, car-like comfort, smart technology and safety features that give the Connect range a real competitive edge.
With the option of the dual passenger seat, (FOC option Trend & Limited) Transit Connect vans have the capability of carrying two passengers and the driver. And when the dual seat is not carrying passengers the centre seat folds down to create a writing surface or flips up to reveal a very convenient storage box to keep your belongings out of sight. And when used in conjunction with the Bluetooth functionality for mobile phones and devices, you have a mini office in your van!
Do you need some load carrying space you would expect with a van, but you want to carry more passengers to the job? If so, look no further. The Ford Transit Connect Double Cab in Van is a great combination of passenger carrying and load space with a choice of two wheelbases (L1 & L2) and the capability to carry up to 5 passengers with the cargo safely stored behind the moveable bulkhead.
The Connect van is an ideal size for tradesmen, delivery drivers and people who have jobs or hobbies that require a lot of equipment but don’t need a large van. A van from the Transit range large enough to accommodate your needs, but small enough for city roads and smaller drives.

Check out the Connect Econetic series with 62 mph fixed speed limiter and auto start-stop to gain the best CO2 from the Connect range.
If you prefer to drive automatics rather than manual you may want to try the New 8 Speed Automtic transmission available on some models.

Utility
Next to the Ford Transit and the Transit Custom, the Connect might look a little on the small side, but you’d be surprised. Open the backdoors and you can fit in materials as long as 3.4 metres on some models with the dual passenger seat & load through bulkhead. You also get generous payloads of up to 1000kg. If you’re carrying a load in the rear, there are convenient tie-down points for you to strap down the load and help prevent everything from rolling around.
In the front, there are plenty of storage areas and convenient stowage places for all your daily needs. The middle seat can be folded down and reveals two extra cup holders so you and a passenger can enjoy a cup of your favourite beverage together.
Don’t forget, if you’re unsure, we have trained professionals who can assist you and make sure that you’re driving away in the right sized van for your needs. Visit one of our branches today and get behind the wheel for a test drive in one of our Ford Transit Connect demonstrators.
