Ford TOURNEO CUSTOM Parts | 2014 - 2018 | Duratorq EcoBlue #88K4K675K
Ford Tourneo Custom generation Mk1 is the passenger version of the Transit Custom. It is a flexible and capable people carrier, catering to both business and private buyers. The Custom Tourneo offers a modern design both inside and out, along with a range of advanced options and technology. This makes it a more attractive proposition than some of its more established rivals, which have more in common with the commercial vehicles they are based on. Both eight and nine-seat Ford versions are available, as well as models with short and long wheelbases. Under the hood is an economical 2.2-liter diesel engine, and the Tourneo Custom claims to offer a much more refined experience than any previous equivalent. “Tourneo Custom brings car-like style and refinement to the people mover segment,” said Ulf Roentgen, Director of Interior Design, Ford of Europe. Ford has what it takes to beat rivals like the Volkswagen Transporter Shuttle or Fiat Scudo. Ford Tourneo driving experience Custom Tourneo drives impressively well for a vehicle of its class and size. It is powered by a Duratorq TDCi 2.2-liter engine that offers great pulling power, allowing the Ford to make rapid progress even when fully loaded. The 2.2-liter diesel is available in outputs of 99 HP, 123 HP, and 153 HP, and all versions offer pulling power of up to over 310 Nm. The engines are relatively refined and economical, although they can be noisy when working hard. All models are claimed to average over 43mpg. The engine delivers its power to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. An efficient start-stop system is provided as standard, which helps reduce fuel consumption, especially in heavy traffic. Driving the Tourneo Custom is a satisfying and stress-free experience, as it has good handling and a smooth ride. The controls are well-weighted and precise, the brakes are strong, and the engines are flexible. Operators who regularly carry a lot of passengers would be advised to opt for the more powerful engines, however, as they will be less laborious and probably more economical. One thing that may prove useful to some is that the Tourneo Custom has a height of less than two meters, meaning it shouldnt have too many problems with most car parks. This applies even if the roof rack system is fitted, although it will need to be empty and lowered when necessary. Ford Tourneo Custom cabin and interior Ford wants to emphasize the high level of interior quality and comfort of the new Tourneo Custom, and credit where its due, people move very well in both respects. If youve recently driven a Focus or a Mondeo, then youll feel at home in the Tourneo Custom, as the dashboard is very similar. This makes the Ford feel more car-like inside compared to its rivals, and the cabin is certainly a pleasant place to be. The vast majority of materials used inside feel durable, making the Ford ideal for those who intend to use their vehicles for frequent passenger transport. Driver comfort levels are high thanks to a quiet cabin, supportive seats, and a wide range of adjustments - including a steering wheel that adjusts for reach and rake. Visibility is also acceptable, while parking the Tourneo Custom is made easy thanks to large rearview mirrors. Further reducing the drivers workload is a good range of standard equipment and a number of modern options like Lane Keeping Alert. Numerous storage points are dotted around, including a handy phone holder right in front of the gear lever. The eight and nine-seat versions of the Tourneo Custom are available, and passengers benefit from comfortable seats, plenty of headroom, substantial legroom, and a well-appointed cabin. A full leather interior option is available for those who want an even more modern finish on the Ford Tourneo Custom Mk1. Other features, such as integrated window blinds in the doors, are also available. Running costs and value of Ford Tourneo Custom Owners will be pleased to find that the running costs of the Ford Tourneo Custom are not excessive. Ford commercial vehicles have always been competitive when it comes to costs, and the Tourneo Custom shows that it will be no exception. It comes with a three-year / 100,000 km warranty, which should protect owners and operators from any unexpected expenses. Servicing is done once every two years or 25,000 km, meaning minimal downtime for busy companies, and Ford parts and maintenance costs are usually cheap. The Ford Tourneo Custom also receives a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty. Additionally, all versions of the Tourneo are powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine, which is claimed to average 43.5mpg, helping to keep fuel costs low. “We have combined car-like levels of performance, comfort, and specifications with enhanced practicality and reduced running costs,” said Barry Gale, Chief Engineer of Ford of Europe. “This stylish vehicle with genuine capability will enhance Fords reputation for durability and long-term value.” Ford Tourneo Custom reliability, common issues, and faults The reliability of the Tourneo Custom should be very good, as the Transit Custom it is based on has undergone extensive development and testing. Consequently, Tourneo Custom buyers should have few worries regarding durability. Fords passenger and commercial vehicles have a good history of reliability, and the new Custom range should be no exception. Every Custom Tourneo comes with a three-year / 100,000 km warranty, so even if there is an early problem, it will most likely be covered by the manufacturers warranty. Ford also has a significant dealer network, so if your Ford has a problem or mechanical fault, you wont have to travel far to have it inspected. In fact, we have only a few minor reservations about the Tourneo Custom. Firstly, the fuel filler flap seems easily damaged, and secondly, the oil filler cap in the engine bay is hard to reach, which could lead to substantial oil spills. Ford Tourneo Custom safety and security Ford Tourneo Custom safety is very good. It has a strong structure and a wide range of safety systems to protect occupants. Over 40% of its body is made from high-strength or ultra-high-strength steels, making the Tourneo Custom both strong and light. Ford has also been developed with Euro NCAP crash protocols in mind for pedestrian protection. Standard safety equipment includes driver and passenger side airbags, curtain airbags for front seat passengers, a specially designed steering column aimed at reducing impact damage, electronic stability control, active roll control, roll-over mitigation, hydraulic brake assist, hill start assist, and anti-lock brakes. All seats in the Tourneo Custom have integrated three-point seat belts, while ISOFix child seat attachment points are available on the two inner seats in the second row and the center seat in the third row. The ISOFix points also include top tether mounts for additional security. The Ford Tourneo Custom is also a secure vehicle, thanks to numerous security features, including a choice of two alarm systems and remote central locking. More efficient than ever Under the hood of the Econetic is a revised version of the 100 HP 2.2-liter diesel engine found in other transit customs. Frugality assistance is a start feature, a system that charges the vans battery more efficiently, and an “acceleration control.” The latter reduces the throttle pedal effect when the van is empty, promising fuel economy improvements of up to 15%. Ford Tourneo Custom Sport Euro 5 Econetic Although the engine produces a useful torque of 310 Nm at just 1,300 rpm, power soon drops off, requiring frequent gear changes between the six transit gears to make any kind of progressive progress. It can be disconcerting on highways where overtaking maneuvers feel glacial unless two gears are dropped. Positively, all these techniques improve the Econetics average fuel economy to 44.8mpg, improving on the standard equivalents 42.2mpg. This provides a theoretical range of 788 km in the Econetic compared to the usual 742 km from the Transit Custom. With such small differences, it means the Econetic will need to be driven 2,347 km further before it pays for itself. Reality will still require a greater distance: factor in that in our test, the Econetic managed a best of 36.7mpg, with a mix of urban crawling and highways, and the range dropped to 645 km.
