Ford expands Transit lineup with Transit Connect with XLT Premium Wagon

By George on November 21st, 2010

Ford Transit Connect arrived in 2009 as the ‘ultimate tool’ for small business proprietors. Now buyers looking for a taller wagon with seating for five passengers and generous cargo space can buy the Transit Connect XLT Premium Wagon, which is meant for the people not businesses.

XLT Premium Wagon offers enhanced second-row passenger comfort, including cargo space surface trim, wheelhouse covers and flip-open rear quarter windows for draft-free ventilation.

This personal-use package gives owners and drivers additional confidence with blind-spot sideview mirrors, rear view camera, rear cargo door windows and privacy glass.

Transit Connect was named North American Truck of the Year in January 2010, selected by journalist jurors for its unique combination of car-like ride, 135 cubic feet of cargo space, 1,600-pound payload capacity and unmatched fuel efficiency – up to an EPA-rated 26 mpg highway.
