How Much Does a 2015 Ford Transit Connect Cost?
The Transit Connect comes in numerous forms. The Van has two standard seats, windowless side panels and dual rear cargo doors, while the Wagon is a passenger vehicle with full windows all around and a choice of rear cargo doors or a liftgate. Both have dual sliding side doors and are offered in short-wheelbase (104.8 inches) or long-wheelbase (120.6 in) configuration. The short-wheelbase Wagon has five seats, while the long-wheelbase Wagon adds a third seating row for 7-passenger capacity. Both the second- and third-row seats fold flat and can be removed.
The Van comes in XL or XLT trim, while the Wagon gets those trims plus the top-of-the-line Titanium.
The Van XL ($23,325) starts with just the basics, including 16-in steel wheels, remote keyless entry, power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary input jack.
The Van XLT ($24,850) adds features such as power heated mirrors, fog lights, a 4.2-in driver information display with steering wheel controls, a CD audio system and an upgraded driver seat with manual lumbar adjustment.
The Wagon XL ($26,180) comes only with the long wheelbase, and it's equipped similarly to the Van XL except for upgrades such as its three seating rows and power second-row windows.
The Wagon XLT is offered with either the short wheelbase ($25,705) or long wheelbase ($27,705) and is equipped similarly to the Van XLT.
Finally, the Wagon Titanium ($30,180) cranks up the content with 16-in alloy wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic front climate control, separate manual rear climate controls, SYNC voice-command functionality and a rearview camera.
Some of the higher-end standard features are available as options on lesser models. Other options, depending on trim and configuration, include MyFord Touch (which adds a 6.5-in touchscreen with navigation), 17-in alloy wheels, MyKey with programmable usage restrictions (maximum speed and volume levels) and Ford Work Solutions Crew Chief telematics with tracking functions for location, speed and idle time.
Long-wheelbase Transit Connects can accommodate about 130 cu ft. of stuff, which is nearly as much as a full-size minivan like the Toyota Sienna.
