At the point when the 2019 Transit Connect appeared in February a year ago, Ford was eager to declare it is adding a turbodiesel powertrain to the range "reacting to solicitations we've gotten notification from our clients returning to 2010." Something must've turned out badly over the most recent couple of months as the Blue Oval is apparently pulling the attachment of the 1.5-liter EcoBlue model due "absence of market request," as affirmed by Ford representative Elizabeth Kraft to Car and Driver.
The organization's underlying estimations demonstrated the Transit Connect with the 120-strength (89-kilowatt), 200-pound-feet (271-Newton-meter) four-chamber motor should return in excess of 30 miles for each gallon roadway. Be that as it may, the diesel van never gotten official Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) efficiency evaluations, which are accessible for the fuel controlled 2.0-and 2.5-liter engines, for both the 2019 and 2020 model years.
Vehicle and Driver indicates out that Ford's choice drop the pressure start motor from the portfolio may be identified with "EPA's expanded examination on all diesel motors" in the United States. As standard, the 1.5-liter diesel was mated to an eight-speed programmed gearbox with a motor turn over stop work. Moreover, the Transit Connect diesel had an EcoCoach capacity coordinated into the instrument group, which shows drivers how to drive all the more proficiently.
Our source likewise reports Ford is dropping the five-situate, short-wheelbase variation of the traveler rendition of the model. This implies you'll have the option to arrange the long-wheelbase Transit Connect as freight and traveler van, however the short-wheelbase will be accessible just as a payload LCV. The 2019 Transit Connect begins at $26,845 and has an expected EPA mileage appraisals of 24/29 mpg (city/roadway). Vehicle and Driver reports the 2020 model year will begin at $25,570 for the short-wheelbase freight adaptation and $28,315 for the traveler variant.
