Front, rear and all wheel drive versions, and the complete range of lengths, heights and variants

Available in front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, the Ford Transit also offers extended two-year/30,000 miles service intervals, with the time required for scheduled maintenance over 90,000 miles cut from 5.4 to 4.2 hours over the outgoing model.

Model-for-model, load volume has been increased by around 10% compared to the outgoing Transit. For example, the L2 van’s maximum volume with standard full steel bulkhead has risen from 10.3 to 11.2 cubic metres, enabling it to transport four Europallets and carry 3.0m length items along the floor. The largest Jumbo van can swallow 15.1 cubic metres of cargo behind the bulkhead.

Vans are available in three different lengths and two different roof heights with multiple GVM options of up to 4.7 tonnes.

The cabin is significantly more spacious than the outgoing model, with increased shoulder room, head clearance and visibility and a more comfortable driving position with a steering column fully-adjustable for rake and reach.

An all-new interior, with a stylish new instrument panel, incorporates a range of smart stowage solutions including a full-width overhead shelf and a large hidden compartment under the dual passenger seat. A 230V power socket can be used to charge tools or laptops without the need for special adaptors.

Ford engineers have tuned the vehicle to deliver class-leading driving dynamics, with more confident, car-like handling in both city and motorway driving.
