Author: Gary WhiteThe Ford Transit Connect was launched in the spring of 2002 and was voted Van of the Year in 2003. The Connect is a offshoot of the popular Transit van but designed to be more of a city delivery type van (almost a high-roof station wagon). The early versions of the Transit Connect were designed and built based on the C170 platform, which the 1998 Ford Focus also used.
The second generation saw major overhaul of the light commercial vehicle range which came out in 2013 with an updated framework based on the Ford C-MAX. The updated version of the Transit Connect was voted Van of the Year in 2014. In 2022, the third generation Connect van was launched based on the VW Caddy V.
