Ford TOURNEO CONNECT Parts | 2013 - 2018 | EcoBoost Duratorq #88POK6K5K
You will be forgiven for not realizing that the new Ford Tourneo Connect is actually the companys second model to bear the badge. Even Ford itself barely acknowledges the initial version launched in 2002, describing it more as a "van with seats" than a car. Ford might be late to this people-carrier party, but with the latest Tourneo Connect, it intends to end the dominance of Citroen, Fiat, and Peugeot in the segment. Practically van-like Based on the latest Transit Connect Mk2 van, the new car is available in two different wheelbases - the standard Tourneo Connect and the longer Grand Tourneo Connect, the latter optionally available as a seven-seater. Little has been done to hide the upright stance and straight lines of the second-generation Tourneo Connect, which Ford claims is deliberate, noting that customers in this segment prefer no-nonsense practicality. Despite its dual origins, it is a decently looking vehicle, with an almost aggressive familiar face and bold wheel arches, but straight lines dominate almost everywhere else. Tourneo Connect 2013-2018 built in Spain was designed from the outset with a car version in mind, and consequently, the seats fold flat into the floor, offering large load bay dimensions when the 60:40 split rear bench seat is not needed. This suits the key target markets of families wanting a vehicle with useful space and ease of use, as well as business operators like airport taxi firms. Car-like vehicle Sit inside the Tourneo Connect, and the sheer volume of space around you is apparent, yet it remains agile and car-like. Based on an adaptation of the components underpinning the Focus, the Tourneo is refined on the road, with a comfortable suspension setup that impressively absorbs most road conditions. Needless to say, its not a sports car, but the steering is precise and provides a positive amount of feedback through the wheel, giving a sense of being connected to what the Tourneo is doing. Despite this cavernous interior volume and large rearview mirrors, the suppression of noise from outside is impressively good, ensuring a calm interior environment. The new Ford Tourneo Connect achieved a full five-star rating during its EuroNCAP test round. All versions have high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel used in key areas of their construction, while anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) are standardized. Additionally, daytime running lights and huge rear lamps increase the Tourneos visibility to other road users, while automatically activated headlights and wipers are standard or optional, depending on the model. Highly visible seatbelt reminders for all seats encourage everyone to buckle up, while front and side curtain airbags help protect occupants in the event of an accident. Those carrying younger passengers will be pleased to note that the two rear seat positions have ISOFIX mounts for child restraint. Just an occasional glance at its upright body suggests that the Ford Tourneo Connect will be a strong point. Open the rear doors or lift the huge tailgate, and you wont be disappointed. Fords van-based people carriers offer more practicality and significant space than the MAX range, as well as better value for money. The result is that the Tourneo Connect offers more versatility than a C-MAX for slightly more than B-MAX money. Fold the rear seats forward to create a flat load bed, and the Tourneos origins become clear, with a maximum capacity of 2,410 liters of space. The 1.8m floor can also be extended to carry long items by folding the front passenger seat. Interior Drivers of all sizes are bound to be able to reach the steering wheel of the Ford Transit Connect comfortably. Not only is the drivers seat multi-adjustable - in four planes on Style models and eight on higher ones, the steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake, and the large door mirrors have a split view offering excellent visibility. The dashboard layout, switches, and controls will feel instantly familiar to anyone whos been in a recent Ford car, although the plastics are shared with the Transit Connect van, so expect more durable molds rather than luxurious ones. All buttons, knobs, and dials operate with satisfying actions, and the overall feel remains more car-like. Anyone moving to the Tourneo Connect through circumstance rather than choice will be pleasantly surprised. Depending on the options fitted to the car, even features like sat-nav and reversing camera have integrated screens offering a much more elegant appearance. Theres plenty of space for storing odds and ends, with deep door bins capable of holding 1.5-liter bottles, glove boxes, a deep storage shelf above the windscreen, and cubbies and space for other detritus in the center console. Two of the Tourneos four 12-volt sockets are within easy reach of the drivers seat. Overall, the impression is one of a comfortable, well-appointed, yet practical car, rather than a luxurious one, which is exactly what the Tourneo Connect is. Despite its commercial vehicle origins, Ford Tourneo Connects comfort levels are very impressive. Not only is the car much better than its van-like predecessor, but it also stands up well in terms of road manners and interior comfort. Although the Tourneos body is tall, its wide stance and long wheelbase help keep it stable, while Ford has lowered its center of gravity and used higher-strength steels in its construction. Consequently, ride comfort is very supple without being floaty, and the car smooths out road imperfections well. The interior plastics are well assembled, being more durable in nature than the softer ones found in most Ford cars, yet they avoid feeling cheap or flimsy. What impresses most is the sheer space inside the cabin - five adults should have little difficulty getting comfortable, with access to the well-contoured rear seat, especially due to the sliding doors. Legroom and shoulder room are generous, but whether youre in the front or back, headroom is simply colossal. The sense of space is enhanced by the glass roof, complete with an electric screen. Standard on Titanium models and optional on Zetecs, it adds to the already well-lit cabins airiness. Various facilities make it easier to use, with storage bins under the rear passengers feet, a large shelf above the windscreen, four 12-volt sockets, and, in Titanium versions, aircraft-style tables on the back of the front seats. Air conditioning, standard on Zetec models and upgraded to dual-zone climate control on Titanium, helps ensure the large, glassy cabin remains comfortable even on hot days. Diesel engines Ford expects 90% of sales to favor diesel, and three versions of the 1.6-liter TDCi units are offered. The range choice is the 113 HP version, equipped with a six-speed manual. The 285 Nm torque propels the Tourneo to 165 km/h, reaching 100 km/h in 13.8 seconds. With a five-speed manual gearbox, the lower-powered 94 HP version has 220Nm of torque. It offers a top speed of 160 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 14.7 seconds. The downsides are CO2 emissions of 130g/km and an average of 56.5mpg. Inside the cabin, there are few diesel engine rattles, and this low-revving thrum ensures progress requires fewer gear changes. For lower running costs, youll need the 1.6 diesel equipped with the optional Ford Fuel Economy package. This includes a stop/start function and an additional 10 Nm of torque. Although performance figures remain the same, emissions drop to 120g/km, and fuel efficiency improves to 61.4mpg. Petrol power The well-known 1.0-liter EcoBoost petrol engine is the cheapest option, and with 99 HP and 170 Nm of available torque, it is also the least capable of handling the Tourneos weight. It doesnt struggle; its just that the extra grunt of the diesels makes them easier to live with. Still, it is quiet and refined. Ford claims 50.4mpg is achievable with CO2 emissions of 129 g/km. It is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, with a top speed of 166 km/h, while 0-100 km/h takes 14 seconds. Developing 148 HP and 240 Nm of torque, the 1.6-liter petrol Tourneo, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, is quicker but less efficient. A top speed of 174 mph and a sprint to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds is possible, but the sacrifice is a consumption figure of just 35.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 184 g/km. Unlikely to thrill enthusiastic drivers, the Ford Tourneo Connects handling is instead biased towards ride comfort and stability. Using elements from the Focuss underpinnings ensures the Tourneo feels more car-like than its less well-rounded predecessor, as well as feeling superior to rivals like the Berlingo and Citroen Fiat Doblo. Regardless of speed, it feels secure on the road - those tall sides dont feel particularly susceptible to crosswinds. The stretched wheelbase and the cars width provide reassuring confidence and a very comfortable ride. Deep potholes in urban environments are cleared as efficiently as longer undulations on country roads - nothing seems to unsettle it in terms of ride compliance. Most surprising is the steering, which is blessed in a similar manner to Fords conventional car range. The steering wheel provides a generous amount of feedback about what the front tires are doing, inspiring even more confidence for drivers new to this type of vehicle, who wont feel entirely alien. Electronic stability measures ensure the Tourneo isnt too easily upset when pushed, and although body roll is evident, its not enough to make passengers feel queasy. Stopping power feels adequate for the car, feeling safe and secure after repeated heavier use. Range of diesel and petrol engines The Tourneo Connect is powered by a selection of petrol and diesel engines. Fords 1.0-liter EcoBoost petrol engine provides access to the Tourneo range, while it is complemented by a 1.6-liter unit paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. Three versions of 1.6-liter TDCi fill the middle, with 94 HP and 113 HP available. When the low-consumption version is equipped with the optional "Fuel Economy" package, it becomes the cheapest in the range with a power of 61.4mpg and 120g/km of CO2 emissions. In 2015, the 1.5 Tdci engine was introduced, replacing the 1.6 Tdci with lower consumption and the same power.
