Detailed analysis of the Ford Tourneo Connect Trend 1.0 EcoBoost Auto-Start-Stop 100 CV (2013-2018)
General description
The 2014 Ford Tourneo Connect is much more than just a vehicle; it's a life companion designed for active families and adventurers who value space above all else. With its 101 HP 1.0 EcoBoost engine, Ford proved that efficiency and versatility could go hand in hand, creating a vehicle that invites you to fill its enormous interior with experiences, luggage, and smiles.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Tourneo Connect conveys a sense of solidity and control. Don't expect lightning-fast acceleration; its 101 horsepower are designed to move its considerable volume with ease, not to break records. The small three-cylinder EcoBoost engine is surprising for its low-end torque thanks to its 170 Nm, making urban driving agile and pleasant. On the road, it feels poised and comfortable, with a suspension that prioritizes occupant well-being over sportiness, effectively absorbing road imperfections. It's a car for traveling without haste, enjoying the scenery and the company.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an ode to functionality. The square shapes and high roofline are not meant to charm at first sight, but to maximize every cubic centimeter of interior space. The sliding rear doors are a blessing in tight parking spots and make access incredibly easy. Inside, the space is simply cavernous. The robust and well-organized dashboard welcomes you with ergonomics designed for daily life, while the trunk of over 1000 liters seems bottomless. It's an honest design that doesn't hide its practical origins and turns it into its greatest virtue.
Technology and features
At its technological heart beats the innovative 1.0 EcoBoost engine with an Auto-Start-Stop system, a jewel of Ford's engineering at the time that sought to reduce consumption and emissions without sacrificing response. The onboard equipment, typical of its era, focuses on the essentials, with a functional infotainment system for music and calls, and electric power-assisted steering that facilitates maneuvering. Although it lacks modern driving assistants, its technology focuses on engine efficiency and making life on board simpler.
Competition
In the competitive universe of multi-purpose vehicles, the Ford Tourneo Connect faced titans like the Citroën Berlingo, the Peugeot Partner Tepee, the Renault Kangoo, and the Volkswagen Caddy. Each of them offered a similar formula of space and practicality, but the Tourneo Connect distinguished itself with a chassis that had a slightly more refined driving feel, a legacy of Ford's expertise in this area, and by the personality of its EcoBoost engine.
Conclusion
The Ford Tourneo Connect 1.0 EcoBoost is the smart choice for anyone looking for an incredibly spacious, practical vehicle with a reasonable running cost. It's a car that more than delivers on its promise of versatility, ideal for large families, sports enthusiasts who need to transport bulky equipment, or simply for those who never want to worry about space again. It's not the fastest or the most luxurious, but its honesty and its ability to adapt to any plan make it another member of the family, reliable and always ready for an adventure.
