Drivers who find themselves often needing to transport both passengers and a significant amount of cargo will find the 2021 Ford Transit Connect to suit their needs well. This passenger van can seat up to seven people easily with its spacious seats and easy-to-use dual sliding doors to make loading and unloading people quick and painless.

Overview of the 2021 Ford Transit Connect

This versatile and practical van comes in three distinct models; the XL, the XLT, and the Titanium. The XL base model comes equipped with a 2.0-liter GDI engine, with the option to upgrade to the 2.5-liter VTC (Variable Timing Control). An 8-speed automatic transmission comes standard, but a 6-speed automatic transmission is available to pair exclusively with the 2.5-liter engine. The Transit Connect can achieve an EPA estimated 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

Many features come standard across the board on all Transit Connect models. These features include driver-favorites like rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, dual-zone climate control, reverse sensing system, second-row folding seats, and a crisp and clear 4.2-inch multi-function display.

Transit Connect XL

The 2021 Transit Connect XL is this model’s base trim and starts at $27,400. It seats up to six passengers comfortably and includes pre-collision assist with automatic braking, along with many other standard and popular safety features. The pre-collision assist driver-aid will alert you if any objects in front of you become a hazard, and will automatically engage emergency braking should the need arise.

FordPass Connect also comes standard on the XL which will allow you to connect up to 10 devices to your vehicle’s own personal WiFi hotspot, keeping everyone connected on any drive whether long or short. The internet range for this hotspot is up to 50 feet outside your vehicle, which means that you can host movie nights while camping or play music by the lake. FordPass will help keep you on track by monitoring your data usage.

Transit Connect XLT

The Transit Connect XLT starts at $29,515 and boasts the same standard features of the XL. It also includes upgraded features such as wireless charging, Sync 3 Infotainment, and Ford Co-Pilot360. The Ford Co-Pilot 360 technology assists drivers by constantly monitoring the surroundings and alerting you when it detects a potential hazard in your blind spot.

Transit Connect Titanium

The Transit Connect Titanium is the top-of-the-line model for this lineup and starts at $31,600. In addition to all of the features of the models below it, the Titanium comes complete with an upgraded interior. Both of the front seats come leather-trimmed and heated while the Manual Lumbar system provides you with optimum comfort on every drive.

The 2021 Transit Connect is a significantly useful passenger wagon that’s packed with great features. Perhaps its biggest benefit is the level of versatility it provides. Ford has designed this van with a spacious cabin, powerful engine, and the market’s best safety features. To learn more about this van or to book a test drive
