Ford Transit Connect Van: Everything You Need to Know

Ford is consistently voted as one of the UK’s most popular vehicle manufacturers, and it’s not difficult to see why. Offering reliable cars, an excellent driving experience, innovative vehicle technology and of course, affordable prices, Ford continues to set the benchmark for other leading manufacturers in 2021.  Ford is known for its range of family-friendly cars, but the manufacturer also excels when it comes to designing and producing cargo vans. The Ford Transit Connect is proof of this!

Here’s an all-you-need-to-know introduction to the Ford Transit Connect, why it’s one of the greatest vans on the market in 2021, and how you might benefit from one of our competitive Ford Transit Connect lease deals.

Introducing the Ford Transit Connect

First released in 2002, the Transit Connect has remained one of Ford’s standout vans, with regular updates offering new trims, innovative technological additions and more impressive specs. As of 2021, the Transit Connect is available with four trims – Base, Trend, Limited and Sport – and two styles, including Van (short-wheelbase) and Double-Cab-in-Van (long-wheelbase).

The Van body style is the slightly more spacious option. With space for 2-3 passenger seats, the Transit Connect Van allows drivers to take advantage of the maximum available loadspace (with a payload of up to 982kg). On the other hand, the Double-Cab-in-Van style offers two seats in the cab with an additional row of three passenger seats between the cab and the loadspace. If you’re looking for a small cargo van to double up as a private vehicle, this may be the option for you.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the key benefits of this small cargo van, and why investing in a new Ford Transit Connect or browsing through our fantastic lease deals could steer you in the right direction!

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
