Expert 2020 Ford Transit Connect review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article
our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Ford Transit Connect?

Offered in cargo- and passenger-carrying forms, the 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 gas four-cylinder engine that works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Competitors include the Ram ProMaster City.

What’s New on the 2020 Ford Transit Connect?

Automatic headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers are now standard.

What Features in the 2020 Ford Transit Connect Are Most Important?

Standard features on the XL passenger van include air conditioning, cloth upholstery, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and rear parking sensors.

Available features include dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a 6.5-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, navigation, wireless device charging, leather upholstery, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, push-button start, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-keeping assist.

Should I Buy the 2020 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.

    Bought a brand new in 2019 Transit Connect, since then we

    Bought a brand new in 2019 Transit Connect, since then we only had to change the brakes and oil !!!! Love this van. Works fine for our company needs. The money that we saved on gas alone is priceless (27/28 MPG). I decided to write this now because this is the only Ford product that didn't disappoint us. Hopefully they start making this work horse again soon.

    Lots of ups and downs, but the seat comfort -nogo

    Seats are engineered by masochists. And the wrap around plastic at the bottom of the front seats are going to separate. It's low to the ground, so it's not for deep snow, it gets stuck easily in rural country life. It's got really nice pep for a small engine and surprisingly decent gas mileage for something that big. It's got more elegance than a mobile toaster and they have surprising amount of storage in all kinds of nooks and crannys. I would consider buying it again , if the seats were not so miserably uncmfortable. If they offered diggerent seat options go for it .

    I hate mine

    So many things to write...I always see smoke coming from the engine no one knows why and nothing is wrong with it...A tiny mirror that you can't see in...The back seats will not go down to make a level space but the van book says it does...book lie...my van is TOO small for me the sales person to blame, he showed me a 7 passage van on his computer because they didn't have one on the lot...but a 5 passages van was delivered with a cracked back window they refused to fix. So I am stuck with a van that is too small for my family and not enough room for groceries

    good value

    Great option instead of a SUV. FWD is fine with good tires for traction and it has clearance comparable to a SUV. It isn't as expensive and has enough options to choose from. The mileage is around 26 @ 80 mph.

    Function (over fashion)...not much usable storage

    Function...it’s ok for a dopey looking van Storage... up front for a driver... terrible! The overhead storage... you can’t see or find anything... make a bigger console/armrest storage unit!!! Comfort... I’ve had better! Drivetrain.... junk for a new vehicle! The motor can’t power it up any hill at low speeds! After three seconds of doggy acceleration... it drops down two gears and screams until it catches up. If you use the manual gear selection... it over rides your selection after a minor amount of higher revs.... Overall: Not Impressed!

    Perfect for our lifestyle

    This vehicle gave us a lot of the safety features we wanted, along with comfortable seating for 6 that is easily accessible. The sliding side doors make entry/exit easy, and the push button retractable side mirrors make parking in a tight garage space effortless. This vehicle is very user friendly. The heated seats and wireless charging pad just make it that much more wonderful!
