Your Complete Guide to the 2021 Ford Transit Connect

Its Performance Options Offer Power and Fuel-Efficiency

The Transit Connect has two I-4 engines available: 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter. 162 horsepower can be expected from the 2.0-liter, while the 2.5-liter offers 169 horsepower. Both engines give it more than enough performance and help it to remain fuel-efficient, as well.

Speaking of fuel, an available CNG/propane engine package allows you to run your Transit Connect on alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas and propane autogas. The vehicle can be equipped with tougher valve seats and exhaust valves to specifically handle other types of fuel.

It Brings Convenience Options for All Scenarios

There are plenty of convenience options as well. Charging your smartphone or tablet just got easier, thanks to the available wireless charging pad that can be found in the Transit Connect’s center console area. You can simply set your phone or other devices on the charging device’s pad for quick and completely untethered charging.

Defrosting your windshield is quick and effortless with the Quickclear Electric Windshield Defroster. After pressing the activation button, mist, snow, soot, and ice stand no chance, as a pair of heated washer jets warm up the entire windshield for quick removal of both frost and fog.

It Offers Style and Design That Can Be Customized

Unlike many other vans in its class, the Transit Connect is offered in multiple exterior colors, so you can find one that suits your company or style. Five unique Ford colors are available: Frozen White, Agate Black, Dark Blue, Silver, and Race Red.

Also, if you need to customize your Transit Connect so that it matches your type of work better, Ford offers the Vocational Upfits Program. This is a program where you can have the vehicle modified specifically to your needs. Extra shelving, ladder racks, or other specialized modifications can be made to the vehicle.

Its Safety Features Are Modern and Intuitive

Plenty of advanced and intelligent safety features come in the 2021 Transit Connect as well. Co-Pilot 360 is a suite of safety features included in the Transit Connect that can help you with keeping your distance from other vehicles.

Pre-Collision Assist alerts you to vehicles or pedestrians you’re approaching while automatically applying the brakes if needed. A rear-view camera behind the vehicle allows you to see vehicles behind you. If they get too close, an audible warning will let you know.

Safety, style, comfort, and two different engine choices.
