Ford Transit Connect: Two Powertrain Options

If you’re looking to maximize your fuel economy, the best place to start is with the engine. When you take a drive in the 2019 Transit Connect, you’ll enjoy the efficiency of the standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine. Expect to produce 162 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque and an EPA-estimated 24 city/29 highway MPG using this engine.

For drivers looking to get a bit more muscle out of their engine, you’ll want to make use of the available 2.5L Duratec® inline 4-cylinder engine. You’ll enjoy a comfortable 169 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque when making use of this powertrain. Not to mention the fact that this vehicle gives drivers an EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway MPG.

What Are the Ford Transit Connect Transmissions?

Once you have an efficient engine under the hood, the next mechanism to focus on for fuel- conscious performance is the transmission. Having a transmission with a high number of gears allows your vehicle to transfer torque efficiently for a higher variety of speed demands. Luckily, the Ford Transit Connect comes standard with a 6-speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission.

By having more speeds, your vehicle is able to spread its need for transmission power over more gears. Because you have more specific gears, as you get faster, your vehicle won’t have to work as hard. To enhance your performance, there’s even an available 8-speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission for even more gears.

Finally, these transmission systems use SelectShift® to give you more control over your gear shifts. This system uses an automatic transmission with the capacity for manual shifting when you need it. You will be able to manage your transmission yourself for more reliable fuel usage.

Aerodynamic Body Construction

When it comes to designing a smarter passenger wagon, it really comes down to the design of this vehicle’s body. The Ford Transit Connect has been built with clever details that help to maximize airflow around the frame of the vehicle.

Just take a look at the sloping hood and contoured sides—this vehicle is able to allow air to simply roll over, as it shrugs wind off its back.
