The 2019 Ford Transit Custom also added the option of FordPass Pro connectivity including on-board Wi-Fi, and some enhanced safety systems. On top of this, there's a new Transit Custom mHEV ' mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle' package, an option on some engines that adds a clever starter-generator system and a small lithium-ion battery pack in an effort to save even more fuel. This should result in better real-world fuel economy, according to Ford. But in fact every Transit Custom got an upgrade, thanks to new turbochargers that deliver greater torque, plus improved injectors, new pistons and an on-demand oil pump. The headline news here was the introduction of an even more powerful 185hp / 415Nm version of the 2.0-litre EcoBue diesel. Ford Transit Custom 2019: more powerful engines and new EcoBlue Hybrid techįollowing swiftly on from 2018's major facelift ( detailed below), Ford brought in more updates to the Ford Transit Custom for 2019, focused on further improving the engines. The Transit Custom truly is a van for all kinds of customers. In addition to this, you can now order a sporty-looking Transit Custom MS-RT model direct from any Ford dealer. There is a security-increasing Guard Mode coming later in the year as a free update to this, too. In June 2020 Ford also announced it was making the FordPass Connect on-board modem system standard equipment, allowing more people to take advantage of the FordPass Pro app. You can also get a Tourneo Custom Active that seats up to eight. The mLSD is optional on these (as it is on the entire Transit Custom range now). The Transit Custom Active (pictured below) is intended to target more adventurous lifestyle buyers, and features SUV-inspired styling that Ford hopes will appeal to mountain bikers, wind surfers and the like. We also think it makes a great lifestyle model, however. To this end it's fitted as standard with a mechanical limited slip differential (mLSD) as well as upgraded bodywork - including that bold FORD grille - and an easy-clean leather interior. The Transit Custom Trail (pictured above) is aimed at working operators who need a tough van with greater traction capability than a standard model. In June 2020, Ford launched two interesting new versions of the Transit Custom, the Trail and the Active. New Transit Custom models launched in 2020. The Transit Custom is also the UK's bestselling van, regularly out-selling every car on sale here as well. See our separate Ford Transit Custom Plug-In Hybrid review for extensive details and driving impressions of the petrol-electric PHEV version of this van. These victories recognise the Transit Custom's all-round great capability, including the unmatched breadth of its range, which runs from basic working vehicles right through to attractive lifestyle models.
