> 2012 Transit Connect Features: Engineering

Whether you're working the weekday urban streets or out on a weekend recreational excursion, you'll find the 2.0L Duratec® 16-valve I-4 engine in your Transit Connect as responsive as it is efficient. The Wagon model generates 136 horsepower and 128 lb.-ft. of torque, while delivering EPA-estimated 22 city / 27 highway / 24 combined mpg. Custom vehicle shown.

The 2.0L Duratec® I-4 is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission with a 3.96:1 final drive ratio. It's engineered to handle the rigors of everyday commercial use and to provide the low-end torque needed for hauling heavy loads.

Security is especially important in a vehicle that carries expensive equipment and cargo. That's why Transit Connect is equipped with Lock and Latch shielded rear door locks that help resist break-ins. Also, the ignition key is needed to unlock the hood as well as the rear doors

Vehicles working in crowded urban settings need to be highly maneuverable. In addition to its compact size, Transit Connect has a 39-ft. curb-to-curb turning diameter to help negotiate in tight quarters
