Nearly a decade after the Ford Transit Connect introduced the U.S. market to Euro-style compact cargo vans, the Blue Oval is giving its people/cargo hauler a series of updates as it faces continued competition from Chevrolet, Nissan, and Ram.

Nearly a decade after the Ford Transit Connect introduced the U.S. market to Euro-style compact cargo vans, the Blue Oval is giving its people/cargo hauler a series of updates as it faces continued competition from Chevrolet, Nissan, and Ram.

Noteworthy changes to the refreshed 2019 Ford Transit Connect passenger wagon include the availability of a new turbo-diesel 1.5-liter inline-four. Dubbed EcoBlue by Ford’s marketing team, the engine is expected to earn an EPA-rated highway fuel-economy estimate of 30 mpg or better on the highway, Ford says. Just don’t expect much get up and go from the diminutive diesel, as Ford spokespeople told us the company is targeting just 120 horsepower or so from the engine. An expected 200 lb-ft of torque, however, ought to give the Transit Connect a decent amount of low-end grunt.

In place of the current gasoline-fueled 2.5-liter inline-four, the 2019 Transit Connect subs in a smaller 2.0-liter unit. While Ford isn’t ready to talk final specs, a representative told us that horsepower and torque totals will be down slightly compared with the current engine, which musters 169 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Both the standard 2.0-liter inline-four and the optional turbo-diesel engine mate to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and come with auto stop/start technology. (Ford assures us the new transmission will minimize a potential loss of performance from the new gas engine compared with the outgoing 2.5-liter.)

Ford didn’t just tinker with the van’s powertrains. The updated Transit Connect also gets a host of new safety and convenience equipment, including standard automated emergency braking and newly available features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and high-intensity-discharge headlamps. Additionally, a standard 4G LTE connection allows the Transit Connect to serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices.
