Ford Transit Connect
More compact than its big brother, the Transit Connect comes in a commercial or passenger version able to accommodate up to seven occupants. It is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that generates 150 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. However, a turbo-diesel 1.5-litre four cylinder is now available as an option. Only front-wheel drive is offered. The commercial version can tow up to 907 kilos (2000 pounds).
