our expert's take

What Is the 2021 Ford Transit Connect?

Offered in cargo- and passenger-carrying forms, the front-wheel-drive Transit Connect is Ford’s compact van. The long-wheelbase passenger version has three rows and room for up to seven people. The Transit Connect has minivan-style sliding doors and is powered by a choice of four-cylinder engines. Competitors include the Ram ProMaster City

 What’s New on the 2021 Ford Transit Connect?

There are no significant changes this year. 

 What Features in the 2021 Ford Transit Connect Are Most Important?

Standard features include: 

  • Air conditioning
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Forward collision warning
  • Automatic emergency braking 

Available features include:

  • Rear parking sensors
  • Dual-zone automatic air conditioning
  • 6.5-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Navigation
  • Wireless device charging
  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert

Should I Buy the 2021 Ford Transit Connect?

Even in passenger-carrying form, the Transit Connect more closely resembles a utility van than one of the minivans offered by competing automakers. It’s not as easy as a traditional minivan to convert from passenger- to cargo-carrying duty, but it does offer good passenger space, a low load floor and numerous versions to fit specific needs.

Good Little Van

Good little van for maintenance work. Wont haul all my tools, but enough to get most jobs done, including a 5x10 trailer on the back with no issues.

New van

The van is pretty solid for a van. Seems to handle well and has a ton of space. The ability to lay the seats down to create room is great.
