Ford Tourneo Connect - two in one

For today the market of cars very much requires commercial samples which could transport both cargoes, and passengers. Recently this niche has replenished with one very valuable model - the Ford Tourneo Connect. The novelty perfectly fits the definition of an automobile multifunctional commercial vehicle. As the manufacturers joke, this is not one unit, but two at once. In addition, two versions of the machine are coming off the assembly line today - with an extended and standard wheelbase. The first type has an increased carrying capacity, a higher roof, an economical engine whose power is 90 hp.

Ford Tourneo Connect is produced only in one factory - Ford Otosan, which is located in Turkey. For today it is the best factory of company Ford. It is worth noting that the car of this family has already won the title of "International Van of the Year 2003". It is noteworthy that the jury gave the Ford Tourneo Connect 126 points at a maximum of 140.

Today, we are testing a basic car, under the hood of which is 1.8 liters of working volume. This version is equipped with air conditioning, ABS, radio tape recorder, track-control system. The presence of the latter allows you to move from the place, keeping up with the main flow. One of the features of the tested model was that it had no 5 doors, and 4. There is no door behind the driver's seat. On the passenger side there is a sliding door. Choosing a car, you can stop on a particular design.

The driver's seat is distinguished by excellent ergonomics. It has six different mechanical adjustments. The steering column is also adjusted. The seats above the head are enough, the pedals are matched to the effort perfectly, the wings of the transmission works like a clock. All this makes driving a Ford Tourneo Connect quite comfortable. Everything is available for long distance driving. And different shelves, and niches, and compartments. In general, you will find where to pack your things.

The visibility from the driver's seat is quite good. This is facilitated by a high landing, large mirrors. Both for the front and rear windows there is heating. The only thing that hinders the review is the powerful front posts. They cover a fairly large sector.

Now about one of the main advantages - about the place in the salon. It's really a lot here, especially if you fold the backs of the seats. This is done quite simply, literally in one motion. After making two more movements, the seats can be taken out of the cabin at all. After doing this trick, free space will be one and a half cube more. This is what commercial vehicles are valuable for.

As we said, the car perfectly copes with both the transportation of goods, and with the transportation of people. There is a lot of space for passengers here. At the same time to enter and exit from Ford Torneo Connect is very convenient. Some will say that the interior is a little gray, but that it is not modern, it is very difficult to blame. Everything is quite thoughtful and not boring at all. Anything anywhere does not press, does not stir and does not creak. What was pleasantly surprised is the noise isolation in the Ford Torneo Connect. Reviews of car owners in this regard are quite good. Many note that the noise insulation in it is not worse than in cars.
