Ford Torneo Connect is one of the few commercial vehicles that can be used on weekdays as urban small carriers, and on weekends as a full-fledged family minivan, where you can drive into the forest or to the country house. The designers of the company managed to develop a truly roomy and elegant minibus for a large family. The carefully thought-out layout of the passenger compartment and cargo area allows passengers to comfortably move even over long distances. Moreover, at any moment, a family minivan with a flick of the wrist turns into a light van. What kind of miracle car is Ford Torneo Connect? Let's figure it out.
Design
Cars are judged by their appearance. Despite the fact that most of these vans do not have an expressive appearance, the "American" is still special. Thanks to painstaking work, designers managed to hide all the bulky and cargo features of the car and turn it into a prestigious minivan. And this elegance is achieved due to the large side windows and headlights slightly elongated on the hood. Thus, the machine is capable of transporting any cargo without losing its high level of attractiveness.
Salon
The filling of the Ford Torneo Connect van is also special. It combines such positive aspects as the ergonomic arrangement of all control buttons, an informative dashboard, comfortable seats (and not only from the driver's side), as well as a lot of free space, which is achieved due to the high ceiling and a long chassis. It is also worth noting that the rear row of seats can fold very quickly, then the passenger minivan will turn into a full truck with a flat platform surface.
Ford Torneo: specifications
With regard to technical characteristics, the manufacturer offers a choice of one of three turbodiesel units. Among them, the base 75-horsepower engine, as well as two "luxury" (which are installed in more expensive trim levels) with a capacity of 90 and 110 "horses", respectively. What is noteworthy, the working volume of each of the three power plants is the same and equal to 1.8 liters. But the peak of maximum speed is different. So, the weakest unit accelerates the car to 146 kilometers per hour, and the strongest is able to develop up to 169 km / h. Thanks to the same working volume, the manufacturer has achieved almost the same fuel consumption, which is 6-6.3 liters per 100 km of track in the combined cycle. Given that Ford Torneo Connect can be used 5-7 days a week, this is a very economical, and most importantly, cost-effective indicator of resource consumption. It is also worth noting that all 3 engines allow the machine to lift up to 800 kilograms of additional cargo. For a commercial vehicle, this is quite a decent payload.
Cost
Given that the car has recently undergone restyling, the price for it will be slightly higher. So, Ford Torneo 2013 in the minimum configuration will cost about 1 million 139 thousand rubles. The most expensive option will cost about 1 million 215 thousand rubles.
