Ford Tourneo Connect 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 is a practical, van-based MPV that prioritises space and functionality over style. Available in five-seat and seven-seat Grand Tourneo Connect configurations, it offers cavernous boot space—up to 3,105 litres with seats folded—making it significantly more practical than most seven-seat SUVs. Engine options include a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol (113bhp), a 2.0-litre EcoBlue turbodiesel (121bhp), and a plug-in hybrid (148bhp) with 70 miles of electric range. All models feature a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (six-speed for the PHEV), and the car benefits from Volkswagen Golf-derived underpinnings, delivering car-like handling despite its commercial roots.

The Tourneo Connect excels at family motoring, offering excellent practicality, generous standard equipment, and competitive pricing compared to rivals like the Volkswagen Caddy. The diesel engine delivers around 40mpg in real-world driving, whilst the plug-in hybrid offers the lowest running costs for those with home charging access. However, it doesn't match the driving engagement of the best Fords, and the interior has a utilitarian feel with some cheap-feeling plastics. The infotainment system, whilst well-equipped, features unlit touchpad controls that can be fiddly. For growing families prioritising space and practicality over style, the Tourneo Connect represents sensible, no-nonsense family transport.

Best for: Families needing maximum space and practicality, high-mileage drivers seeking economical diesels, and buyers wanting better value than the Volkswagen Caddy.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising engaging driving dynamics, premium interior quality, or fully electric powertrains (only PHEV available).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tourneo Connect if: You need maximum space and practicality for a growing family, are a high-mileage driver seeking economical diesel engines, or want better value than the Volkswagen Caddy.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, premium interior quality, or require a fully electric powertrain (the Peugeot e-Rifter or Citroën e-Berlingo offer EV options).

Competitive Position: The Ford Tourneo Connect is a sensible, practical choice in the van-based MPV segment, offering excellent space, good equipment levels, and competitive pricing. Whilst it doesn't match the driving engagement of the best Fords or the premium feel of the Volkswagen Caddy, it delivers superior value and practicality. The Citroën Berlingo offers comparable space with a higher user rating, whilst the Peugeot e-Rifter provides electric motoring with the best deal availability. For buyers prioritising space, economy, and value over style and driving dynamics, the Tourneo Connect remains an excellent choice.
