Ford Vietnam has recently launched the All-New Ford Transit, offering three variants: Trend 16-seater, Premium 16-seater, and Premium+ 18-seater.
Bold New Design with Segment-Leading Dimensions

Trend: 5998 x 2068 x 2485 mm
Premium: 5998 x 2068 x 2775 mm
Premium+: 6703 x 2164 x 2775 mm
All three variants share the same wheelbase of 3750 mm and ground clearance of 150 mm. The Premium+ 18-seater stands out with its dual rear wheels, creating a striking visual impression. The vehicle’s design is seamless, featuring sleek lines that run along the body, a prominent front end, and distinctive Ford C-shaped LED headlights.
Marrying Luxurious Comfort with Cutting-Edge Technology
The All-New Transit boasts a luxurious and comfortable cabin, meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of business customers. Notable features include a class-leading 12.3-inch dual-screen setup for the instrument cluster and infotainment system in the Premium and Premium+ variants, seamlessly integrated with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a modern and connected driving experience.
Flexible seating arrangements, including single, double, and triple seats with fold-away options, provide ample space for passengers and luggage. This versatility allows customers to customize the interior to meet their specific needs.
To ensure a neat and spacious interior, the All-New Transit offers various storage solutions for both the driver and passengers. Overhead luggage racks (available in Premium and Premium+ variants), under-seat storage, and a foldable last row of seats provide ample space for luggage and belongings.
The Premium variants offer additional conveniences, such as individual air vents, USB charging ports, cup holders, and a power-sliding door, ensuring a comfortable and convenient experience for all passengers and creating a positive first impression.
A Plethora of Convenient Features
Impressive Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Powered by a new 2.3L Diesel engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, the Transit delivers an impressive 171 PS at 3,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 425 Nm between 1,400 and 2,400 rpm. This engine offers a 26% increase in power and a 20% improvement in torque compared to its predecessor, ensuring robust performance, fuel efficiency, and a smooth driving experience.
Robust and Reliable
Built on a new platform, the All-New Transit utilizes boron steel and high-strength steel, resulting in increased rigidity and torsional strength while making the vehicle lighter and more durable than traditional materials.
These improvements reduce wear and ensure the frame can withstand a maximum payload of up to 4.6 tons.
The Transit has undergone rigorous testing according to Ford’s Global Durability Standards, including lane-keeping ability and safe lane changes at highway speeds when fully loaded. It has also covered over 2 million km of durability testing in various challenging environments, including in Vietnam.
Segment-Leading Driver-Assist Technologies
All Transit variants are equipped with a suite of intelligent and safe driver-assist technologies, providing peace of mind on the road. Committed to delivering features that truly matter, all All-New Transit variants come standard with a rearview camera and parking sensors, making maneuvering in tight spaces easier than ever.
