2018 Ford Transit Custom

Ford has announced a modern day facelift on the extremely successful Transit Custom.

The Ford Transit has been a top-selling van in the UK for years. This new generation is set to take the Ford Transit Custom to a new level. It will no doubt be a necessity amongst today’s environmentally friendly, and economically conscious, van drivers. Especially given the change in law across the UK regarding diesel engines.

So, what has changed?

A Safer 2018 Ford Transit Custom.

Ford has safety in mind, the 2018 Ford Transit Custom Base additional features include:

• Intelligent Speed Limiter

• Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert

 Inside the New Transit Custom:

The New Ford Transit Custom has an attractive new style which boasts an array new technology.
The cab has been completely redesigned, the dash looks modern and the entire cab provides you with masses of storage space and compartments. Much thought has gone into creating a ‘mobile office’ for drivers on the road. You can even use an A4 hanging file in the glove compartment. so there’s no excuse to be unorganised!

If you’re looking at the higher spec trim, you’ll be impressed with the 8.0 inch touch screen central display which is a huge improvement on the current smaller screen.

Ford hasn’t overlooked the necessities either. Extra cup holders and more comfortable, supportive, and durable seats guarantee a comfortable ride.

Outside the New Transit Custom:

Outside, the changes are clear to see.

HID Xenon headlights have been slimmed down and appear more modern. You may recognise the striking, ‘trapezoid grille’, which has been influenced by the Ford Car range. It gives the front end a drastic new look.
