This signature design feature brings forth the Transit’s unique character including the bold trapezoidal grille, strong and muscular shoulder line and prominent wheel lips. The model is available in a choice of short wheelbase (SWB – overall length 4.97 metres) and long wheelbase (LWB – overall length 5.34 metres) versions.

Beneath the stylish exterior, the new FordTransit Custom offers ample load carrying ability, including a number of innovative new loadspace features. These include an optimised bulkhead and loadspace design, deployable integrated roof rack system, repositioned tie-down hooks and fixing points, and an easy clean load floor liner.

Interior Styling Features

The interior of the new Ford Transit Custom was designed with the driver in mind, advanced technologies and outstanding driving dynamics. The modern van features a driver focused cockpit with a sculpted instrument panel which combines stylish looks with smart stowage solutions for bottles, phones and papers. Driver comfort is significantly enhanced through a highly adjustable driving position, which features a steering column adjustable for reach and rake.

The Transit Custom is also equipped with a range of driver assistance technologies which include the Ford SYNC voice activated, in-car connectivity system, Lane Keeping Alert, Driver Alert, Auto High Beam and Hill Launch Assist.
