Ford Tourneo Custom specifications, engines, restyling and configurations

Specifications

This model is designed on its own “trolley”, but with a chassis design traditional for passenger-and-freight vehicles. The front is equipped with an independent MacPherson type suspension, and the rear has a dependent leaf spring architecture. The buyer is offered a choice of two wheelbases – long (3300 mm) and short (2933 mm).

The braking system consists of ventilated front disc mechanisms and conventional rear discs.

The body is produced using boron steel. Using this and other types of high-strength steel, more than 40 percent of the body part, including the passenger area, is made. To optimize the design, the manufacturer performed about 4.5 thousand computer simulations and 30 realistic crash tests.

The car is offered with a single advanced 2.2-liter Duratorq TDCi power unit, which runs on diesel. This motor surprises with its outstanding parameters and makes it possible to reduce the cost of operating the machine, as well as reduce the negative impact on the environment. The in-line four-cylinder engine produces up to 125 horsepower and its maximum thrust is 350 Nm. A turbine and a start-stop system are provided.

The internal combustion engine does not exceed emission toxicity standards and is economical. With it, a car needs no more than 8.1 liters to travel 100 kilometers in urban conditions. On the highway it consumes two liters less. The unit works in conjunction with a six-speed manual transmission, which allows the car to accelerate to 157 kilometers per hour. The car is produced exclusively in front-wheel drive.

Technical characteristics (table)

Ford Transit Custom chassis

The suspension of this car is absolutely the same as that of its older brother. An independent system is mounted at the front - MacPherson struts and a transverse stabilizer, and at the rear - leaf springs and gas-filled shock absorbers. The suspension demonstrates stable behavior even on long high-speed straights or when driving along mountain serpentines.

The steering system is a rack and pinion system with power steering. The brake system is disc on all four wheels, ventilated at the front.

Design

Ford Torneo Custom 2022 combines a solid, modern and bright exterior.

• The front part is occupied by a large radiator grille with horizontal metal slats. The optical elements of the head lighting, thanks to their original shape, add aggressiveness to the appearance. A small hood with a significant slope and a voluminous windshield providing excellent visibility are installed. There is a bumper with embossed outlines, on the sides of which there are built-in fog lights.
• In the profile view, the glazing line rising towards the rear is noticeable, which gives the appearance a dynamic appearance. Equipped with enlarged external mirrors. The elegantly cut corners of the windows, the stamping along and in the middle of the side, as well as the inflated wheel arches attract attention.
• The lean stern looks a little raised. There are vertically elongated parking lights, a voluminous trunk glass and a miniature bumper studded with additional brake lights. The exhaust pipes are invisible to the naked eye.

The engineer has eliminated the previous shortcomings of the interior architecture and now you can comfortably sit anywhere in the cabin. The folding seat system allows you to choose between a large number of configurations for seating passengers and luggage.

Peculiarities

Hill Start Assist Hill Start Assist temporarily prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards or forwards when starting to move on a slope. The system maintains brake pressure 2 to 3 seconds longer, giving you more time and control when moving your foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal.

The car is also equipped with all the necessary systems to control parking, driving in the desired lane, starting on a hill, turning at night, and additional power when braking.

Analogues – closest competitors

There was an attempt to organize assembly production of Ford Transit Custom in Russia, but in the end these Turkish-assembled cars were simply supplied to our country.

It was like this: sales of large-unit Elabuga-assembled cars started in the spring of 2014, and in the fall of the same year another financial crisis broke out in Russia: the ruble collapsed once again, dragging the automobile market with it to the bottom. Many models have disappeared from it, including the Transit Custom and Tourneo Custom. They returned in 2017, against the background of growing sales of the “classic full-size Ford Transit” - but already “purely Turkish”, without any Russian assembly.

In Russia, their closest competitors are the French mid-size vans Peugeot Expert and Citroen Jumpy.

Options

Ford Tourneo Custom on the domestic market is available to customers in two trim levels: the standard Trend, and the richer Titanium.

Regardless of the configuration, the car interior provides seating for 8 passengers. As an additional option, for an additional fee, you can replace the standard front single seat with a small two-seater sofa.

Features of Transit Custom

From the front, the car looks harmonious and relevant. At first glance, it is easy to confuse it with an ordinary Transit. The visual difference between the front of the Transit Custom and the regular Transit is the windshield. If on the classic Transit part of the roof extends far forward, then the windshield of the Transit Custom continues almost to the horizontal position of the roof.

Ford Transit Custom looks impressive and dynamic not only from the front, but also in profile. The wide wheel arches and massive stamping along the window sill line attract attention. In the basic configuration, the car comes with ordinary stamped wheels, and beautiful alloy wheels are offered as an additional option.

Ford Transit and Ford Transit Custom

Overall, the vehicle maintains the Transit Custom's reputation as a highly versatile urban transporter suitable for a wide range of medium and small business applications.

About the history of the model

It was decided to separate the mid-size van into a separate model as part of the One Ford Plan concept, according to which the Ford Transit model was divided into three independent lines: full-size Transit vans; mid-size cargo vans Transit Custom and passenger version Tourneo Custom; as well as light delivery and passenger vehicles Transit Connect.

The model was launched specifically on the European market in the hope of grabbing a piece of the pie that previously belonged undividedly to almost similar Mercedes-Benz Vito and Volkswagen Transporter cars. Ford Transit Custom decided to compete with them using a better price-quality combination.

The cargo version of this model was first introduced in the UK in 2012. And the debut of the passenger version of the Tourneo Custom took place at the Geneva Motor Show in the same year. At the same time, the model was recognized in Europe as the van of the year and became the first one-tonne van to receive the maximum possible five-star safety rating according to Euro NCAP.

The Turks restyled the Transit Custom / Tourneo Custom model in 2022. During it, these cars were significantly corrected in appearance, in accordance with new trends in auto design; re-equipped their interior and slightly adjusted the cargo compartments. But all the technical components remained the same.
