At a Glance: Ford Transit Closed Box L3H3 2.2 TDCi Trend

The new Ford Transit is the largest van in its class. In the test, we had a version with an average length of the cargo compartment L3 and the highest raised roof H3. It could only be longer, but trust me, only a few make that claim, as the L3 is the perfect length for most of the work the new Transit will do. In terms of a unit of measure, this length means that in Transit you can carry up to 3,04 meters, 2,49 meters and 4,21 meters in length.

Loading openings are well accessible when the rear doors are supported, the usable width is 1.364 mm and the side sliding doors allow loading loads up to 1.300 mm wide. Technology is also making good headway from Ford passenger cars to commercial vans, including SYNC emergency assistance, adaptive cruise control and automatic speed reduction when cornering. Thanks to the automatic start-stop system, the new diesel engines are even more efficient, as the engine automatically shuts off and restarts when started at traffic lights. Drop by drop, however, persists.

Even the 2,2-liter TDCI is not voracious, but it is very nervous, as it is capable of developing 155 "horsepower" and a whopping 385 Newton-meters of torque, which means that it is not intimidated by any slopes, and it also has a positive effect. for consumption. With dynamic driving, it consumes 11,6 liters per hundred kilometers. In addition to the Van we tested during the test, you also get the new Transit in van, van, minivan, cab chassis and chassis with double cab versions.
