Ford’s Transit van last received an update back in 2014 and is majorly sold in the European and American market. Here we have first spied images of the facelifted Transit Van undergoing cold-climate tests somewhere in the Scandinavia.
The Transit Van was previously launched in two versions, Transit and Transit Connect, which are available as a panel van, XL and XLT passenger vans; the test mule spotted here is the Transit Connect with a cladded fascia. The test mule is covered only upfront indicating a minor facelift to lend a fresh air to the LCV.
Currently available with halogen and projector headlamps, the facelift would welcome an LED insertion garnered with integrated day time running lights. The grille might be reworked a bit as well. The rear remains untouched with its vertical tail lights and barn-doors. On the inside, though, we expect the Transit to benefit from Ford’s new SYNC infotainment system with added safety systems. The engine option would be carried forward, but expect to see improved fuel efficiency.
The Ford Transit is Europe’s second most successful van after the Volkswagen T6. The facelifted Transit is expected to be revealed later this year with sales commencing for the European market right after.
