Overview

What's New for 2022

Ford offers the Transit Connect Wagon in XL, XLT, and Titanium trim levels. Buyers can select between barn-style rear doors or a rear liftgate.

Pricing starts at $27,920 for the XL, with safety features like automatic emergency braking and rear parking sensors. The Transit Connect has steel wheels, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, vinyl upholstery, folding second and third-row seats, remote keyless entry, tri-zone climate control, a four-speaker sound system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 4.2-inch screen with Bluetooth.

The mid-level XLT ($30,035) adds safety tech like blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and lane-keep assist. Other amenities are cloth upholstery, a power driver's seat, floor mats, a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, six speakers, voice controls, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The elegant Titanium ($32,120) has leather upholstery, heated front seats, keyless ignition, alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, vinyl cabin trim, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a nine-speaker audio system, HD Radio, and navigation.

Ford offers shoppers optional extras to enhance passenger comfort and safety on the road. These include a panoramic fixed glass roof, including a power shade and roof rails. Remote engine start is available, as is a cockpit-style mid-vehicle overhead console. Buyers can add adaptive cruise control and a forward sensing system for more peace of mind in city traffic and parking.

The available Trailer Tow package increases the van's towing capacity to 2,000 lbs.

Ford's interior is unmatched in its category. The available Sync infotainment system sits atop the dashboard, giving a straightforward view and clear menus. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offer smartphone owners unrivaled media options. A low dashboard and upright seats provide excellent visibility through the windshield and windows. Seat comfort leads the class, and the Titanium's leather trim adds a welcome touch of luxury.

Considering that the typical family car is longer and wider, interior space is impressive. Up to six people can be transported comfortably. The cabin is configurable; the front passenger seat folds down to become a desk, and the back seats fold flat to make a vast cargo area. Cargo space with all seats in place is an excellent 24.9 cubic feet.
