New Tourneo range from Ford

Ford presents the new Tourneo range, which offers three choices depending on the needs of the end user. Leisure and work have equal space in all three models. The range is made up of the Tourneo Courier, the Tourneo Connect and the Tourneo Custom, which are already available at dealerships.

The models have been redesigned both inside and out, also offering new technologies, fuel efficiency and space solutions for users.

The Tourneo Courier is the smallest of the three, yet it offers more than enough interior space for luggage and passengers. The versatility offered by the sliding side doors makes access to the rear seats easy and comfortable. The boot has a capacity of 708 litres with all seats in use, so the luggage of all five occupants will have plenty of room.

The 1.6 Duratorq TDCi 95 CV engine is the diesel variant with an average consumption of 3.7 l/100 km and 97 g/km of CO2 emissions. The award-winning EcoBoost 1.0 litre petrol engine achieves consumption of 5.2 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 119 g/km, and is the other available option.

It is available in two trims, Trend and Titanium. The latter comes as standard with air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, automatic headlights and wipers, plus 16-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, dark privacy glass at the rear, and integrated roof rails.

In terms of active safety, it features driver, passenger and side thorax airbags, side curtain airbags, knee airbags and seatbelt reminders for the second row of seats. The Electronic Stability Control system, standard, comes combined with hill start assist, emergency braking, traction control, roll mitigation and trailer sway control.

It can also be equipped with the SYNC connectivity system with AppLink, voice-controlled, together with the emergency assistance system that helps occupants call the emergency services in the event of an accident.

In the middle of the range sits the Tourneo Connect. Available with 5 or 7 seats as well as sliding side doors, which provide greater versatility and ease of use for families.

Its interior dimensions are ideal for carrying large objects, including a bicycle without removing the front wheel. The second or third row of seats can be used or stowed away as needed.

Buyers can choose between the Trend and Titanium trims. The engines are two diesels, TDCi of 95 CV and 115 CV, and two petrol engines: a 1.0 litre EcoBoost of 100 CV and a 1.6 litre of 150 CV. It also includes an active grille shutter system and intelligent regenerative charging that supplies power to the on-board electronics.

The SYNC connectivity system, gear shift indicator and Active City Stop, which pre-charges emergency braking if it detects an obstacle in its path in the city (at speeds of up to 30 km/h), are other new features included by Ford in these vehicles.

The largest of the three is the Tourneo Custom. Available with short wheelbase (4.97 metres long) or long wheelbase (5.34 metres long) bodies and 8- or 9-seat configurations, it offers very generous interior space with 30 different seat arrangements and a boot with a capacity close to 1,500 litres even with six seats in use.

Only offered in the Titanium trim, it includes adaptive headlights with Cornering function, 16-inch alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, double sliding side doors with a step to ease access, SYNC and AppLink connectivity system, sound system with USB connection and air conditioning (also in the rear seats).

The 2.2 TDCi engine is the only option available for the Tourneo Custom. It comes with two power levels, 125 CV and 155 CV.
