At the end of 2023, Ford registered an industrial design for the new generation of Transit in Vietnam. Now, this 16-seat model has officially appeared at Ford’s factory in Hai Duong province.
Despite being covered with a logo and some exterior details, many people still recognize this as the Ford Transit 2024 model. According to the sales consultant, the car will be introduced to Vietnamese customers this year.
Similar to the Ford Transit currently available in Vietnam, the new generation is still a version for the Chinese market, not a global version. The car continues to be developed and produced by the JMC-Ford joint venture, which has previously developed the Territory SUV model.
In the new generation, the Transit 2024 may be released in two variants: a cargo variant and a passenger variant. The car also has 3 wheelbase lengths: short (3,000 mm), medium (3,300 mm), and long (3,750 mm), with 2 roof height options (medium and high).
From the shared images, the Transit 2024 appeared in Vietnam with a honeycomb grille, so it is likely the high-roof passenger version.
Although it is covered, you can still recognize the front of the car with the C-shaped LED headlights, similar to other Ford models like the Ranger and Everest.
It is not clear whether the car will be trimmed in Vietnam or not. In the Chinese market, the cabin of the new Transit has been significantly upgraded. The dashboard stands out with a modern dual 12.3-inch screen. The car is equipped with many convenient features such as keyless entry, voice control, seat and steering wheel heating. In addition, the car also has an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and remote air conditioning startup function.
In terms of safety equipment, the new Ford Transit has a level 2.5 advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) and a body stability system from Bosch. The chassis of the new Transit is reinforced with 68 boron steel points. The testing standards and corrosion resistance standards applied to the new generation Transit are also superior to industry standards.
In the new version, the Ford Transit is also equipped with an RAS air suspension system, allowing the driver to adjust the ground clearance through the control screen.
It is not clear what engine the car will use in Vietnam. In China, the Transit is equipped with two engine options. The first is a 2.3L turbocharged PUMA diesel engine with 175 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque, paired with a choice of ZF 8-speed automatic transmission or Magna 6-speed and 7-speed manual transmission.
The second option is a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine with 154 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque, with a 6-speed or 7-speed manual transmission.
