is a dead van walking. Its date with the executioner is set for the end of the year, although the model will apparently live on in Europe. Are we sad about this? The utilitarian, compact van served a role for some commercial and passenger operators, but we didn't love its pricing, compromises, and poor seat comfort. It was also slow.
In some ways, it couldn't be more different from the larger Transit, which checks all the boxes for a commercial van. The larger model is obviously cavernous, but we appreciate its wide-opening doors, excellent driving dynamics, and modern tech features. Meanwhile, the Transit Connect suffers from underwhelming powertrain options, few tech features you'd expect on a vehicle like this, and uncompetitive pricing. We have suggested looking elsewhere for a compact van solution.
