The transmissions offer high power and torque output for quick acceleration and effortless high-speed cruising, whilst the ergonomically-designed facia-mounted gearshift provides a smoother more car-like gear change.
 

When you spend most of the day in a vehicle, the driving dynamics of the Transit Minibus help reduce your stress and tiredness levels. This has been achieved due to careful component selection and engineering design. The steering is lighter and more responsive, making it easier to drive in congested towns or manoeuvre in tight spaces. The ride is also smoother, both laden or unladen, thanks to improved suspension balance.

Once on the move, the smooth acceleration through the rev range, regardless of load or driving conditions, will reduce driving effort. In addition, driver fatigue has been cut by making the cabin more car-like, by carefully reducing noise, vibration and harshness – whatever road surface you are driving on.

Four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), which prevents rear-wheel lock-up, a Brake Traction Control System (BTCS), which stops wheelspin when pulling away, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Hill Start Assist (HSA) – all ensure you can remain composed and in control in any situation.

HSA prevents you from rolling backwards during hill-starts. It keeps the wheels braked after you release the pedal when stationary. This takes any stress out of the manoeuvre, as it gives you enough time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Controlled from two switches mounted on an exclusive 4-spoke leather steering wheel, cruise control makes travelling long distances so much more relaxing.
