The Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon was built to bridge the gap between the well-liked full-size Ford Transit and a conventional minivan. It needed an intriguing duality of purposes to do this, which is challenging to engineer. The tiny van, which has only the long-wheelbase option, can carry up to seven passengers while still having a respectable amount of luggage room. It is small enough to be easily driven around town despite being spacious inside.

The Ford Transit Connect Wagon starts at around $31,860
This van is available in three trims: XL, XLT, and Titanium. You can get the XL for a starting MSRP of $31,860 with a 4.2-inch LCD multi-function display, a four-speaker audio system, auto dual-zone climate control, and safety features like emergency braking, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a rearview camera. The mid-level XLT starts at $33,975 and packs similar safety technologies but adds better features, such as a six-speaker audio system and Ford’s MyKey system. Starting at $36,060, the top-level Titanium variant has leather upholstery, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a nine-speaker audio system, HD Radio, and navigation.

Its interiors are unmatched in its category
The inside of a Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon is unequaled in its class. This people-mover can comfortably seat up to seven passengers or convert into a freight vehicle in a flash. The optional SYNC infotainment system is mounted on the dashboard, offering a simple interface with unambiguous menus. Smartphone owners have unparalleled media options, thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Seat comfort is the best, and the leather trim on the Titanium adds a welcome sense of opulence.

It handles better than its more truck-like rivals
This van’s boxy body maintains composure when driving at modest speeds, and the steering is light enough to make navigation simple. But as soon as the gas pedal is depressed, the Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon’s restrictions become apparent. If the engine’s whining is not enough to get you to slow down, the body’s rattling as it fights to maintain its straight line will.

Two engine options are available
All trims have a 2.0L GDI I-4 engine as standard, which is paired with an automated eight-speed transmission. However, the base XL has an optional 2.5L iVCT I-4 engine connected with a six-speed auto transmission. The Ford Transit Passenger Wagon has front-wheel drive only.

Cargo space is decent
The maximum cargo height is 43.3 inches, while the load floor behind the front seats is a little less than two feet high. Customers get 106 cubic feet of storage space when the back seats are folded.

It has dual slide doors for swift movement
All models have dual sliding side doors, making loading or unloading passengers or goods easy. Additionally, entering and exiting is simple, thanks to the low step-in height of under two feet.

There is a built-in windshield defroster
The manufacturer’s optional Quickclear electric windshield defroster helps you get moving on chilly winter mornings. You can remove ice, snow, or mist by pressing a button while the engine is running. A tiny heating element between the glass and the heated washer jets provide rapid defrosting and defogging.

Wireless charging makes charging hassle-free
An accessible wireless inductive phone charger for compatible devices enables you to charge your phone simply by setting it down in the XLT and Titanium trims. So, rest assured that there will be no more fumbling around with plugs, ports, or charging wires.

Drivers benefit from active park assist
Activate this option while driving slowly close to parking spaces, and your Ford Transit Connect Wagon will look for a spot. When a suitable location is found, ultrasonic sensors detect your distance from parked cars and signal you to halt and accept the system’s help.
