Ford Tourneo Connect (2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Hugely spacious	Not as good to drive as most Fords
Economical diesels great for high-mileage drivers	Interior feels a bit utilitarian
Well equipped	Plug-in hybrid is the only electrified version

Quick Summary

The Ford Tourneo Connect, including the seven-seat Grand Tourneo Connect, is a practical van-based MPV closely related to the Volkswagen Caddy and sharing VW Golf underpinnings for more car-like handling. It's a spacious alternative to SUVs, ideal for growing families who prioritise practicality, space, and flexibility. Available with 1.5-litre petrol, 2.0-litre diesel, or a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain, it comes in five or seven-seat configurations. Its cavernous boot, especially in the Grand Tourneo Connect, and sliding rear doors make it highly functional for family life.

While its driving dynamics aren't as engaging as other Fords, the Tourneo Connect offers a supple ride and easy parking. The interior, though utilitarian with some scratchy plastics, is well-equipped across Titanium and Active trims, featuring a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (though with some usability quirks). Running costs are reasonable, particularly for the diesel and PHEV models, with the PHEV offering significant electric range. It presents better value and equipment than its Volkswagen Caddy sibling, making it a strong contender in the MPV segment.

Best for: Families needing maximum practicality, space, and flexibility; buyers seeking an SUV alternative; those on a budget compared to rivals like the VW Caddy; high-mileage drivers (with economical diesels).

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging driving dynamics or sporty handling; those seeking a premium interior feel or badge appeal; buyers who dislike utilitarian interiors or confusing infotainment systems.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tourneo Connect if: You're a family needing maximum practicality, space, and flexibility, seeking an SUV alternative, or on a budget (compared to the VW Caddy), or if you are a high-mileage driver.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, a premium interior, or a more sophisticated infotainment experience.

Competitive Position: The Ford Tourneo Connect stands out as a highly practical and spacious MPV, offering excellent value and equipment compared to its Volkswagen Caddy sibling. While it may lack the driving engagement of other Fords or the premium feel of some rivals, its focus on utility, space, and family-friendly features makes it a sensible and appealing choice for budget-conscious families, especially when considering its competitive running costs and available PHEV option.
