It’s possible that we are going to see the last of 2024 Ford Transit Connect because its end is drawing near. If you are into the small van, cherish this moment. You probably want to get your hands on this last model because Transit Connect will have its last goodbye by 2024. You don’t want to regret things if you can’t get the Transit Connect anymore.
Ford’s Upcoming Plan
The Blue Oval has finally decided that they are going to stop producing this model. They aren’t going to replace it with other models either. Ford had initially planned on having a complete renovation plan, but they finally canceled it. Initially, they were going to produce the van in Mexico, sharing manufacturing plant with the Maverick and Bronco Sport.
The (Misleading) Spy Photos
2 years ago, a mule that was claimed to be the mule (of Transit Connect next gen) was spotted. It gave a sense of hope that the van was going to make it into production. But afterwards, no spy shot images have been seen anymore. There hasn’t even been any production prototype with a camo or whatsoever. People were still hopeful that this small commercial model is still being made for the American market, although it is made in Mexican plants. It seems that all Ford’s plan has been falling apart. They initially planned on making 40,000 units annually, and the next all new Transit Connect would be released in 2024.
The Future Plan
Rumor has it that Ford is going to focus on the 2024 Ford Transit Connect electric, known as the e-Transit. They are planning to make more fun and somewhat playful option which should be available in 2023, along with Transit Trail, the offroad variant. But then again, the company doesn’t want to reveal the details of their production. They are busy focusing on the development, including the powertrain, so they may not want to be involved further into the ‘drama’.
One of the reasons why Ford stops producing this Transit Connect is because of the low sales. The commercial performance has been poor for several years, and it doesn’t show any improvement. However, there is a possibility that the Transit Connect can survive. If they are willing to export the new gen of Tourneo Connect, which they develop with VW together, the Transit Connect has big possibility to survive. However, Ford doesn’t want to dwell further about internal decisions and also coming models future strategies.
