2008–2010 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.8 TDCi LWB 90 Specs & Performance

The long-wheelbase Tourneo Connect was built for people who needed compact dimensions without giving up useful interior space. In this lower-powered 90 version, the emphasis is particularly clear: it is a practical five-seat MPV shaped around carrying people and equipment rather than delivering brisk acceleration. The extended body, upright proportions, and front-wheel-drive layout give it a straightforward character that suits urban work, family transport, and everyday hauling duties.

For 2008–2010, the 1.8 TDCi diesel produced 89 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque at 1,700 rpm, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Those figures make the Connect a vehicle to drive with patience, but the torque arriving relatively low in the rev range is well suited to its utilitarian role. Its 36.7 mpg combined economy also reflects the priority placed on reasonable running costs. Rather than pretending to be something it is not, this Tourneo Connect focuses on accessible practicality and dependable day-to-day usefulness.
