The story

Built from 2012 as a passenger-carrying Transit offshoot, the Tourneo Custom was called Tourneo in Vietnam. Its 2023 successor adds sliding seat rails and serves as spiritual heir to the S-MAX and Galaxy.123

    Geneva concept previews a Transit split

  2. 2016

    2.0 EcoBlue replaces the 2.2 diesel

    The 2.0 L EcoBlue replaces the 2.2 L diesel with 104, 128 or 168 hp; a 6-speed Select-Shift automatic follows near year's end.5

  3. 2018

    6 rear chairs can face each other

    The facelift adds a new dash and, outside Sport, a 5-bar chrome grille. From Titanium, 6 rear chairs can form a conference layout.67

  4. 2019

    182 hp and a 48 V diesel mild hybrid

    The upgraded 2.0 EcoBlue tops out at 182 hp and 415 Nm; the new 48 V EcoBlue Hybrid recovers braking energy through a belt-driven starter-generator.8

  5. 2020

    Generator-driven PHEV meets the Caravelle

    A 1.0 L EcoBoost acts as a generator for electric front-wheel drive, backed by a 13.6 kWh battery. The PHEV loses a Caravelle comparison.9

    2.5 L PHEV switches to a parallel hybrid

  8. 2024

    E-Tourneo: 215 hp and 2,000 kg towing

    The EV brings 215 hp, 415 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 64 usable kWh, plus 2,000 kg towing; 125 kW DC charging promises 10-80% in about 39 minutes.110

  9. 2025

    Crash-avoidance software lifts its rating

    Updated crash-avoidance software improves the standard model's crossing-scenario results, raising its star rating after the 2024 test.11
