With incompatible cargo capabilities
As a model, the Transit Connect is designed to serve a wide range of customer requirements that use compact van vehicles daily. Thus, Ford Pro offers the model in short or long wheelbase versions, as a two-seat panel van or a 5-seater Flexcab.
The new design of the Panel Van Panel Van’s Panel Van version offers an increased capacity of 3.1 m3 or 3.7 m3 depending on the length of the wheelbase of the model. The Transit Connect Flexcab introduces a revolutionary, new flexible seat philosophy that allows customers to quickly and easily convert their vehicle from a comfortable 5-seater into a functional professional van-important for those who wish to own a double-use van. Specifically, the rear seat of the FlexCab version is easily folded forward and upward in a matter of seconds to increase the loading volume to 3.1 m3 (L1) or 3.7 m3 (L2) – L2 models offer space for the transfer of two EUROPE. When folded, the rear seats form a full height protector and ensure that the passengers of the front seats enjoy a comfortable driving experience.
Advanced technology for a premium experience
The connected cockpit of the new Transit Connect PHEV features a standard 10 -inch digital dashboard consisting of a configurable main display framed by secondary information. This is combined with a colored central touchscreen, also 10 -inch, with connected navigation available to create an elegant and productive digital cockpit.

Charging other equipment such as laptop or tools is a simple matter, as the USB-C ports in the cabin offer up to 45 Watts.
Combined with the heated steering wheel, customers can now choose the optional heated front seats, which are certified by the leading Aktion Gesunder Rücen EV (AGR) spine. These seats have an electric lumbar regulation of four directions and adjustable leg supports at its base, which extend for optimal comfort.
Advanced driver assistance systems belonging to the standard equipment of the Transit Connect PHEV include Pre-Collision Assist with Auto Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning, as well as the Evasive Steer Assist, to prevent or limit the sests of comparison with other road users.

Further optional technologies include the Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which helps drivers to make accurate trailer maneuvers without the latter being folded. The system uses rear -view sensors and camera to help the Transit Connect PHEV driver intuitively guide the trailer with a control button and digital display instead of the steering wheel.
With the support of highly competitive funding programs that, among other things, offer a 2.99%interest rate, the first Transit Connect PHEVs have already begun to surrender to our country, to those who prioritized the reliability, economy and flexibility of a petrol-electric system.
