What's new for the 2022 Ford Transit Connect?

For the 2022 model year, Transit Connect receives a host of updates and improvements. First and foremost among these is an all-new engine option. The standard 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder engine replaced a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. This new engine is both more powerful and more fuel-efficient than the old one, and it gives the Transit Connect a much-needed boost in performance.

Other notable changes for the 2022 Transit Connect include updated styling inside and out, new infotainment and safety features, and a revised suspension setup that improves ride quality. Overall, Transit Connect is better than ever for the new model year. As a result, it should continue to be a popular choice for a small cargo van or passenger wagon for those in the market.

The 2022 Ford Transit Connect will come in five trim levels: XL Cargo Van (base), XLT Cargo Van, XL Passenger Wagon, XLT Passenger Wagon, and Titanium Passenger Wagon (the top-level).  The base XL trim comes standard with 16-inch steel wheels, manual sliding side doors, black plastic exterior trim, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a four-speaker stereo system, a USB port, and Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system with a 5.0-inch touchscreen display.
