Detailed analysis of the Ford Grand Tourneo Connect Trend 1.6 EcoBoost 150 CV Aut. 5 plazas (2013-2015)
General description
The 2014 Ford Grand Tourneo Connect is not just any family van. It's a manifesto on wheels that proves functionality doesn't have to be at odds with driving pleasure. Under its imposing and practical hood beats a 150-horsepower EcoBoost heart, promising an experience that goes far beyond taking the kids to school.
Driving experience
Sitting behind the wheel is to discover a world of contrasts. The height and visibility give you a feeling of total command, but it's when you press the accelerator that the magic happens. The 1.6 EcoBoost engine pushes with an unexpected and joyful energy, and the 6-speed automatic gearbox manages the power with a smoothness that makes you forget you're driving a vehicle nearly 5 meters long. Despite its size, it feels agile and poised on the road, conveying a confidence and ride comfort more typical of a passenger car than a commercial derivative.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an ode to intelligent functionality. The lines are robust and honest, without unnecessary frills. The huge rear sliding doors are a blessing for families, making access easy in tight parking spaces. Inside, the space is simply colossal. With a trunk of over 1500 liters, the limits are set by your imagination. It doesn't aim for luxury, but for durability and practicality, creating a welcoming environment ready for any adventure.
Technology and features
At its technological heart lies the crown jewel: the EcoBoost engine. This direct-injection and turbocharged engine represented the forefront of Ford's efficiency and performance at the time. Combined with an automatic transmission that prioritizes comfort, it offered a very advanced mobility solution. Although it lacks modern driving assistants, its electric power steering and a well-tuned chassis show that Ford's engineering focused on what matters most: the driving experience.
Competition
In a market dominated by diesel options like the Citroën Berlingo, Renault Kangoo, or Volkswagen Caddy, this Grand Tourneo Connect stood as an almost rebellious alternative. While its competitors focused purely on space and low consumption, the Ford offered a different soul, a dynamism and a gasoline engine response that made it the passionate choice for the family man or woman who didn't want to give up feeling the road.
Conclusion
This Ford Grand Tourneo Connect is much more than a spacious vehicle; it's a versatile life partner with character. It's proof that you can have almost infinite space for family and leisure without sacrificing a smile on every curve. Its consumption may be higher than its diesel rivals, but the smoothness, silence, and response of its EcoBoost engine are a reward that, for many, is worth it. A smart and, above all, emotional purchase.
