The Transit Connect is completely new for 2014. Now offered in Cargo and Wagon versions, it becomes a real alternative to the minivan with up to seven seats. The new “TC” is offered in short- or long-wheelbase versions. There are more new developments under the hood, where you’ll find either of these two four-cylinders: a 2.5L good for 168 horsepower and 170 lbs.-ft., or a 1.6L EcoBoost with 178 horsepower, 237 lbs.-ft. All versions feature front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic gearbox.
