The 2010 Transit Connect will be hitting our shores this summer. As the ordering window is quickly approaching.
Transit Connect, the first of several great Ford European transplants coming to Canada, is purpose built and fills a "void" in the marketplace. No other small commercial van available today offers the cargo carrying capacity, maneuverability, fuel economy and Built Ford Tough dependability that Transit Connect delivers.
Small businesses and large fleets have all said they've been waiting for this type of vehicle for a long time. These customers have had to compromise and put up with re-purposed minivans and other vehicles to satisfy their small commercial van needs. Transit Connect is the no-compromise, award winning, purpose built solution they've been waiting for.
With Fuel Economy being high on the list of wants (and expectations for a small van), Transit Connect delivers. Estimated fuel consumption of Transit Connect is 10.9L/100km city & 8.5L/100km highway (26 mpg/ 33 mpg) which is sure to please your cost conscious customer.
