2008–2012 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.8 TDCi 110 Specs & Performance

The standard-wheelbase Tourneo Connect occupies an interesting space between a family vehicle and a compact commercial van. Rather than stretching for maximum passenger capacity, the 2008–2012 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.8 TDCi 110 keeps its footprint relatively compact while retaining a five-seat cabin and an upright, highly functional body. That makes it particularly suited to drivers who need useful interior space but still spend much of their time in towns and tighter urban environments.

Its 1.8-liter turbocharged diesel develops 108 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque at 1,500 rpm, with a five-speed manual sending power to the front wheels. The emphasis is clearly on usable pulling power rather than rapid acceleration, and the 39.2 mpg combined figure reinforces its economical character. With a 1,984-pound towing capacity, it can also handle more than routine passenger duties. The Connect's appeal lies in this blend of manageable dimensions, diesel efficiency, and straightforward practicality.
