Most of us have squeezed children or pets into a car before, but Ford's rejuvenated Tourneo Connect compact MPV can comfortably take much more. From kite-surfing equipment to the school run, this is a car that aims to help families get a little more out of life. And in creating it, the Blue Oval brand has received more than a little help from Volkswagen.
The Blue Oval brand has long ploughed its own furrow when it comes to its commercial vehicle range, but that's changed with a more recent partnership with Volkswagen that will see all future Blue Oval brand van models paired with their VW counterparts. Which means that the third generation Ford Transit Connect has been designed to share all its engineering with the current fifth generation Volkswagen Caddy. Which in turn also means that the People Carrier version of that Ford, this Tourneo Connect model, had to be a Blue Oval brand version of the MPV model that VW markets to family passenger car customers as the Caddy - or Caddy Life.
If you followed all of that, it'll explain why the Ford Tourneo Connect model line we examine here looks so similar to its Wolfsburg competitor, especially in profile - and beneath the bonnet.
Let's take a look.

Most reassuring after having 3 VWs. I’m looking forward to driving this one.
A ford with a vw engine?! I thought I misheard had to rewind 2:27 :-)
04:09 That is Tourneo Courier, not Connect
The ecoboost series of engines can be very problematical and when they go wrong (which they will, unless you are very very lucky) can be costly to fix. Many independent garages hate working on these engines out of warranty. Ford technicians don't like these engines either. Also I would not touch any VW designed product due to their past shenanigans and VW unreliability. Should you buy one in 2023? NO!!
It unfortunately has the worst inherited aspect of the Caddy; the cabin. Ford is coming out with the courier which is fully in house Ford and that will be far better.
Do those engines have those awful wet belts?
Petrol ones yes. Steer clear from them
@bondjamesbond9041 hello, I am a taxi driver and was thinking to purchase these van.
But reading here I am not sure!
Wich van should I purchase. Can help please
VW engines often are very poor. VW DSG gearboxes are a disaster.
