Van-based MPV is one of the longest-range PHEVs on sale; gains high specification as standard
Ford has added a plug-in hybrid powertrain to the Tourneo Connect touting a 68-mile electric-only range – one of the longest of any plug-in hybrid currently on sale. The powertrain takes after that of the Tourneo Custom in providing a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a "high voltage" battery and front-mounted electric motor. The set-up sends a combined 147bhp and 258lb ft through the front wheels via a six-speed automatic gearbox.
Ford says boot space has not been compromised despite the addition of the hybrid powertrain, with 3100 litres on offer when the third row of seats is removed. Three specifications are offered, those being trend, titanium, and active. As standard, cars come with 16in alloys and a 10.0in digital instrument panel. Higher-grade models get chrome exterior detailing, larger 17in alloys and a panoramic-glass roof.
