About the Ford Transit Connect Mk2
The second-generation Ford Transit Connect received a significant facelift in 2018, introducing the 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine to meet stricter Euro 6 emissions standards. The Limited trim was positioned as the premium choice for owner-operators, featuring 16-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers, and a more refined interior with heated seats and dual-zone climate control. Built on a dedicated commercial platform rather than a modified car chassis, it retained the sharp handling characteristics of the Ford Focus while offering a payload of up to 878kg. It remains a staple of the European light commercial vehicle market, valued for its car-like ergonomics and robust build quality.

Ford Transit Connect Mk2 fun facts
- The Transit Connect uses a 'load-through' bulkhead, allowing long items like ladders to be slid under the passenger seat to extend the load length to 3 metres.
- Despite being a commercial vehicle, the Mk2 Connect was developed using the Ford Global C platform, which it shares with the third-generation Focus and C-Max.
- To avoid the 25% 'Chicken Tax' in the US, Ford imported these vans as passenger vehicles with rear seats and windows, then converted them back to cargo vans at the port.
