The grown-up freight option - the older brother, so to speak - was shown at an exhibition in Hanover. Compared with its predecessor, the amount of usable space has grown by about 10%. More compact versions appeared: Transit Custom and Tourneo Custom. The first - cargo, even though the youngest, can accommodate three Euro pallets. The second is passenger.

The outskirts of Munich - the "collective farm". Hops and flowers are grown. The first is best appreciated in the bar as a popular foamy drink, and flowers are bought instantly.
We call into the field, cut the bouquet, and throw the money in a red barrel with the inscription "Cashier". Democracy! The freight Transit is designed for such an economy. To me, the emptiness in the cabin hinted that there was no one to give beautiful plants, and therefore it was not worth spending money. But one is not bad here.
My test “Tourneo Custom” from expensive modifications: leather interior, start-stop system. High resolution monitor, modern multimedia, navigation.
Everything is thought out here. There are cup holders, a place for a mobile phone, a box for small items and a spacious glove box. The design of the center console brings to mind the “Focus”

Landing, of course, is almost cargo, but the back of the chair is well-shaped so that the back does not beg for mercy at the end of the working day. In many ways, the car reminded Ford Focus: the shape of the steering wheel and the location of the buttons are similar. Above the dashboard is a small box for small things. A good solution, but the lid has no emphasis, so putting something into the box on the go is difficult.

Seats passenger compartment take six. Each is easy to fold or remove. Moreover, the mechanism allows you to set the backs horizontally to get tables. And if necessary, the seats are folded forward, freeing up space in the cabin.
The second and third rows of seats are composed of separate seats for six passengers. The possibilities of transforming the interior are diverse, and folding the seats is easy and simple

I start a 155-horsepower diesel engine. At first, the clutch seems tight, but then it is easily squeezed to the end. Because of this algorithm, small jolts occur at the start, you have to adapt and work more smoothly with the pedal. The motor is constantly tightening. At the bottom, he is frankly weak. Pep comes at about 2600 rpm. And with 3, 500 rpm, the dynamics are already starting to like. He switched to the eco-friendly sixth gear just a couple of times, because in this case, “Tourneo” immediately turns sour. But on the fourth or fifth claims to the power unit there. Tight, elastic - it's nice to ride.

On the unlimited stretch of the autobahn, the minivan perfectly holds cruising 120 km / h. I’ll pass down and the speedometer’s arrow is already approaching 140. The winding turns of the local rural roads, “Busik” runs very well. If necessary, the driver’s errors will be corrected by the dynamic stabilization system, which comes with the basic equipment. Not so long ago, I drove a more compact Mercedes-Benz Citan and found its controllability to be the benchmark for a small vehicle. So, the larger “Tourneo” is very close to this standard. Of course, adjusted for size and weight.

On a deserted road, I make a few jerks while driving. "Ford" is really a bit: a squeak is heard, an image of a steaming cup appears on the monitor. An optional system offers to relax and drink coffee, noting the driver’s fatigue. The car communicates in Russian, the on-board computer and navigation are adapted.

In Russia, they will sell cars with a diesel engine (power of 100, 125, 155 hp) and mechanics. In the future, there will also be a PowerShift machine developed by Getrag Ford Transmissions JV. Cars (versions with seven types of bodies will go on sale) will be assembled in Elabuga at the Ford Sollers JV.
It is likely that the word "Tourneo" will still be present in the names of passenger versions. And Ford no longer needs to expand its vocabulary, because it is already more than enough to talk freely with customers from different countries.

The first generation Ford Transit appeared in 1965. In 2001, 2003 and 2007, the car was awarded the title of "International Wagon of the Year" - the most prestigious award in Europe. In the Old World, the car is so popular that any compact van is called “Transit”.
Over a long life, the truck more than once became the object of bold experiments. So, in 1971, a 400-horsepower V8 from the sports GT40 was installed under the hood of a small vehicle. The result was named "Superven 1". The second generation of the unusual car appeared in 1984 with the Cosworth engine known in Formula 1. And in 1996, they created a concept with an engine under 650 hp.
Then the emphasis shifted towards ecology. In 2010, on the basis of a more compact version of Transit Connect, they developed an electric car - the fruit of cooperation between Ford Motor and Azur Dynamics.
