Take care in Transit

The Ford van is available in two derivatives, The Tourneo, which is the smaller crew carrying and panel van and the Transit, which is the more commercial vehicle that has the large cargo space and seating for three occupants.

First introduced in 2013 and then updated in 2018 the Transit presented a few major changes in its lifecycle. Let's take a look at what was changed in its last upgrade.

 

Exterior Styling

New front-end styling brings the Transit into line with the rest of Ford's commercial range, this includes a new three-bar grille, redesigned headlights, a restyled front bumper and a new bonnet.

 

Interior

The Transit interior has been refreshed with new seat materials that Ford says enhance both comfort, durability and appearance. The new interior also sees the front dual passenger seat featuring a fold-out table, dual cup holders and an under-seat stowage compartment large enough to hold a toolbox. Electronics were also handed an upgrade with uprated SYNC tech and Bluetooth.

 

Grade walk

The Transit crew van line-up has remained unchanged but the two short-wheelbase derivatives of the Transit have been cut from the three-seater panel van range.
