Ford Transit Connect

Why entrepreneurs choose the Ford Transit Connect L2

• Compact yet extra loading space due to longer wheelbase (L2)

• Efficient urban and regional use

• Widely applicable for assembly, service and logistics

• Modern technology and comfort options

The Transit Connect L2 offers a good balance between compact exterior dimensions and practical load space, ideal for entrepreneurs who need more volume than the standard version.

History of the Ford Transit Connect

• Available since 2013 (Europe)

• Important further development after 2018 facelift

• Multiple versions including L2 for extra space

The Transit Connect is Ford's compact van that stands out for its versatility in daily business use.

Dimensions and loading space

• L2 – Long wheelbase

• Total length: approx. 4.82 – 4.85 m

• Loading volume: approx. 3.6 – 3.7 m³

• Loading length: approx. 2.15 m

• Loading area width: approx. 1.50 – 1.53 m

• Loading height: approx. 1.27 m

The longer version offers significantly more load space than the standard Transit Connect, allowing for larger loads.

Towing weight

• Maximum 1,400 – 1,500 kg braked, depending on engine and version.

This makes the L2 suitable for light trailers and auxiliary equipment during work.

Engines and technology

Diesel

• Often available with 1.5 / 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engines

• Power around 100 – 120+ hp (depending on version)

(Plug-in) Hybrid

• Plug-in hybrid variants with an electric range of up to approximately 110 km

• Towing capacity around 1,400 kg in hybrid version

Practical consumption

• Diesel versions: average 1 to approximately 14 – 1 to 17 (depending on engine and load)

• Plug-in hybrid: depending on electric use and driving profile

Consumption depends heavily on load, speed, and route; hybrid variants can drive extensively on electricity in urban areas.

Reliability and maintenance

• Transit Connect is known for being solid and reliable in daily use

• Extensive dealer and service network in the Netherlands

• Maintenance according to schedule extends lifespan

Points of concern include diesel EGR systems in intensive urban use and regular AdBlue use in older diesels (general diesel bus knowledge).

Environmental zones and zero-emission zones

• Euro 6 diesel: temporary access to environmental zones (depending on license plate)

• Plug-in Hybrid: limited electric emission-free deployment

• Electric variants (if available): unlimited access

Urban zones tighten regulations; hybrid and electric variants offer future-proofing.
