COLOGNE,

Germany, March 19, 2012 – Ford Motor Company today announced the dynamic new

Tourneo Custom will go on sale in Europe as well as other global markets later

this year.

The stylish people-mover that won admirers as a concept at the

Geneva Motor Show marks the first step in Ford's commitment to refresh its

entire commercial vehicle line-up by 2014. The production version of the Tourneo

Custom will be unveiled at the 2012 Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show in

April.

"The bold new Tourneo Custom signals the start of a revolution in

Ford's commercial vehicle range," said Stephen Odell, chairman and CEO, Ford of

Europe. "It's a fantastic-looking people mover – inside and out – and offers

outstanding day-to-day, real world practicality as well as being great to

drive."

New levels of style and function

With its

dramatic new appearance, car-like interior design and driving dynamics, smart

technologies and outstanding fuel economy, the Ford Tourneo Custom brings new

levels of style and function to the people-mover class.

The Tourneo

Custom has an advanced, streamlined profile based on the same "Kinetic" design

approach popular on Ford passenger cars. This includes a sportier stance, bold

rising shoulder line, flush glazing, distinctive trapezoidal grille and

prominent wheel lips.

Available in eight or nine seat configurations,

Tourneo Custom offers a choice of short wheelbase (4.97 metres) and long

wheelbase (5.34 metres) versions, both of which provide generous space for

people and luggage.

The additional length of the long wheelbase version

translates into generous extra luggage space behind the third seat row. At a

height of less than two metres, the Tourneo Custom also comfortably complies

with most car park height limits.

Versatile car-like

interior

The Tourneo Custom also brings car-like style and

sophistication to the people-mover segment with an all-new interior constructed

with high quality materials. The stylish, sculpted driver-focussed instrument

panel features technologies closely-related to those found in the Ford car

range. The cockpit is further enhanced by a highly adjustable driving position

with the steering column adjustable for reach and rake.

The rear seats

are a completely new design that can be easily folded into multiple

configurations and removed in segments or completely. Rear passengers enjoy a

spacious environment and comfortable, fully-trimmed cabin.

Smart

vehicle technologies

The high level of technology offered by

Tourneo Custom includes the following features:

• ECOnetic Technologies –

Ford's advanced low-CO2 features including standard Auto-Start-Stop and Smart

Regenerative Charging on all Stage V emission vehicles

• SYNC

voice-activated, in-car connectivity system – enables mobile phones and music

players to be connected to the vehicle, and operated by voice control

•

Emergency Assistance – enabled by SYNC, this award-winning new feature is

designed to assist occupants to contact the Emergency Services in the event of

an accident, providing vehicle location information

• Advanced restraint

system – includes driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags

• Rear-view

camera – integrated into the rear view mirror

• Lane Keeping Alert and Driver

Alert – latest driver assistance features alert the driver if the system detects

the vehicle is inadvertently drifting out of the lane, or the driver is becoming

tired behind the wheel

Exceptional fuel

economy

The powertrain is an improved version of Ford's

2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel engine with three power ratings: 100 PS, 125 PS

and 155 PS. Featuring a six-speed manual transmission and standard

Auto-Start-Stop, Tourneo Custom delivers combined fuel consumption of 6.9 l/100

km and 182 g/km CO2 emissions.

The Tourneo Custom is based on a new Ford

global platform, engineered to deliver agile and responsive handling for

car-like dynamics, enhanced ride comfort and reduced noise-levels; it offers

outstanding functionality, durability and low cost of ownership, including an

economical two-year /50,000 km 30,000 mile service interval.

"We have

combined car-like levels of in-cab comfort and specification with enhanced

practicality and reduced running costs," said Barry Gale, chief engineer, Ford

of Europe. "This stylish vehicle with genuine ability will enhance Ford's

reputation for long-term durability and value."

New generation of

Ford commercial vehicles

The Tourneo Custom and other all-new

Ford Commercial Vehicles will be revealed in 2012, starting at the Birmingham CV

Show in April.

Ford will also be presenting larger and higher payload

Transits later in 2012. These models will be extensively sold on a global basis,

including North America, and will also feature

rear-wheel-drive.

Production of the new Tourneo Custom will start from

mid-2012 at Ford's plant in Kocaeli, Turkey, with market availability later in

the year.

Essendo presente a Ginevra ho ritenuto opportuno aprire qua, ma, probabilmente, andrebbe nella sezione "Veicoli commerciali", lascio ai mods la decisione.

Frontale rovinato dalla solita boccona, belli il posteriore, la fiancata (di cui, però, non condivido la scelta delle superfici vetrate così limitate) e gli interni (che finalmente perdono la kilometrica leva a pavimento delle serie precedenti).

Modificato 18 Aprile 2012 da Touareg 2.5

Il paraurti posteriore sarà integrato nel portellone? ok che è un concept ma sembra già piuttosto vendibile così come è ora.

[AndreaB]

La leva del cambio sembra star su per miracolo......

[Touareg 2.5]

Va benissimo qui, al momento. Come avevo detto in R&S eran proprio ufficiali e la press release era presente (chiudo quello in spies per un po' onde evitar doppioni).

A quanto ho letto la versione di serie avrà meno cromature e cerchi più umani, ma in poche parole è pronto.

Spero che il nome Transit non sparisca . Probabilmente chiameranno Tourneo la versione passeggeri e Transit quella commerciale.

ho letto in giro che "transit" sarà una diversa versione (più grande) del furgone...

in pratica Tourneo sta a Vivaro come Transit starà a Movano.

il transit è previsto a TP (una specie di sprinter MB, in pratica).

questo in USA non verrà venduto invece il transit si.

in pratica adesso avranno il connect come base , il transit in alto e questo in mezzo.

Quindi Transit avrà probabilmente anche uno stile differente?

conoscendoli, NO...
