📖Ford Transit Connect II Facelift Panel Van L2: extended cargo floor volume, EcoBlue stamina and commercial versatility

Ford Transit Connect II Facelift Panel Van L2 (2018-2024)

Offering an extended 3.4-cubic-metre cargo capacity capable of swallowing two full Euro pallets, the 2018 facelifted Transit Connect L2 panel van provided exceptional loading utility in a compact footprint. Regular, thorough Ford Transit Connect maintenance ensures that its lengthened chassis and modern mechanicals resist the wear of long-haul courier duties, rivalling the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi.

The van is predominantly powered by the 1.5 EcoBlue diesel engine (75, 100, or 120 hp), though North American export models also feature a 2.0-litre GDI petrol engine, both offering an 8-speed automatic gearbox alongside standard six-speed manuals. Its extended chassis features reinforced rear suspension mountings and a durable rear twist-beam axle with coil springs tailored for heavy cargo distribution.
