The 2018 facelift honed the short-wheelbase Transit Connect L1 panel van into one of the sharpest, most comfortable urban delivery tools in its class. Scheduled, conscientious Ford Transit Connect maintenance keeps its modern running gear and sophisticated driver aids operating reliably, holding its ground against the Renault Kangoo and Citroën Berlingo in busy multi-drop logistics.
Propulsion is spearheaded by the 1.5 EcoBlue diesel engine, available alongside the 1.0 EcoBoost petrol and, in select export markets, a 2.0-litre petrol unit, with gear shifting handled by a six-speed manual or an advanced 8-speed automatic gearbox. Its chassis combines MacPherson front struts with front lower wishbone bushes and an efficient rear twist-beam axle engineered for high payload endurance.
