Rear view

While sharing the name of the full-size Transit and Transit Custom, the Transit Courier shares the global B platform with the Ford Fiesta and B-Max. Its front styling is similar to the Fiesta while its dashboard is shared with the B-Max. Inside, a docking port option in the dashboard allows electronic devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players or portable navigation systems to connect. An option includes Sync Wizard which integrates voice control of the entertainment and communications system with connected devices.

Like the B-Max, the Tourneo Courier passenger van is a five-passenger vehicle. The rear seat is a 60/40 split bench seat. The outboard rear seats have Isofix (child seat) brackets as well as a connection point with integrated USB and AUX port fitted as standard. Behind the rear seat, an adjustable-height luggage rack divides the cargo space so that both light and heavy cargo can be stowed separately.

Cargo handling

In the van version as Transit Courier there is a standard partition and a load volume of 2.3 cubic metres (81 cubic feet) with a maximum payload of 660 kilograms (1,460 pounds) standard. The cargo area of the Transit Courier has a load length of 1.62 m (64 in), which can be extended to 2.59 m (102 in), allowing for the transport of a standart euro-pallet. Two sliding side doors, six lashing eyes and mounting points in the body for the installation of shelves or installation systems offer many variations for commercial use. To increase cargo space, the vehicle is fitted with a folding passenger seat and an optional grid-partition between the cockpit and cargo area. Optionally, LED lighting is available for the cargo area.

Powertrain

The base engine for the Transit/Tourneo Courier is the 1.0L 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine producing 100 hp (75 kW). Alongside the gasoline engine are two diesels: A 1.5L Duratorq producing 75 hp (56 kW) and a 1.6L Duratorq producing 95 hp (71 kW). On all three engines, Ford offers a start-stop system to reduce fuel consumption.
