2022 Ford Transit Connect XL

The Transit Connect is Ford's compact cargo van, the smallest of its commercial vans and a common choice for urban delivery work. It's easy to maneuver in tight city streets, with a tight turning radius and a view out the windshield that makes parking a breeze. The cabin is plain and functional, with hard plastics and a straightforward layout that prioritizes utility over luxury. Cargo space is generous for the size, and the rear doors open wide for easy loading of boxes and gear. The XL is the base Transit Connect, and stepping up to the XLT adds alloy wheels, cruise control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Its 2.5L I4 makes 169 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic, which feels responsive around town and returns 25 mpg combined.
