TOURNEO TARGETS LARGE FAMILIES

Got a growing tribe and in the market for a people mover?

The choice just got one bigger, with Ford’s announcement that the all-new Tourneo is coming later in the year.

It’s actually a long wheelbase Transit van under the skin, but targeted at the passenger market, offering spacious accommodation for up to eight occupants.

Two grades will be offered, Active ($65,990) and Titanium X ($70,990), with a comprehensive range of standard features such as a flexible track-mounted rear seating and power side doors.

Setting Tourneo apart in this segment is the innovative and unique flexible track-based seating system in the second and third row.

This allows families to completely customise the seating arrangement to best suit their own unique needs.

Beyond traditional fore- and aft- movements that allow for owners to modulate legroom, one or all three of the second-row seats can be turned to face rearward for a conference layout.

Additionally, the middle seat of the second row can be folded into a small table with cup holders.

The adjustments are boundless with owners able to entirely remove single seats or rows to suit their needs.

All six of the rear seats can even be removed for when owners need as much cargo carrying space as possible.

Isofix points are available on both second and third rows.

With independent rear suspension, the Tourneo is able to provide SUV-like comfort and refinement, along with confidence-inspiring dynamics.

Drivers also benefit from the cab-forward design which provides excellent vision of the road, enhancing their sense of control and confidence behind the wheel.

Both the Tourneo Active and Titanium X are fitted with a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine, with 125kW and 390Nm delivered to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Expanding the Tourneo’s cargo carrying capacity beyond the cabin, the vehicle can tow a braked trailer weight of up to 2500kg.

Owners will enjoy peace of mind with numerous driver assist features offered as standard on both the Tourneo Active and Titanium X.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Pre-Collision Assist with AEB and Intersection Assist, BLIS with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and BLIS Assist, Lane Keeping System, and a rear reversing camera are all fitted as standard on both variants.

The convenience of modern technology features throughout the cabin, with a 13-inch central touchscreen infotainment unit running SYNC 4 fitted as standard.

All Tourneo models sold in Australia have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality as standard and a wireless phone charger for clutter-free convenience.
