Loading and Interior
As you can tell, the performance on these hybrid vans is particularly impressive, but what is really beneficial that the Ford Custom PHEV possesses is the ability to load luggage much more efficiently.
To access the load area, you can open twin rear doors, otherwise known as barn doors. These will open either 90 or 180 degrees. The Transit Custom hybrid crew cab will have access to the rear seats via the two sliding doors. There is also a bulkhead in the loading area to protect the cabin from items that become loose.
In the cabin area, the dashboard features Ford’s 13-inch Sync 4 infotainment touchscreen with an 8-inch digital information screen. The cab has two USB ports and a 12V socket with three cup holders.
The Limited spec comes with front and parking aids and a rear-view camera as standard features. Instead of built-in navigation, Apple or Google Maps can be accessed via Bluetooth.
The Transit Custom plug-in hybrid comes with an array of safety features, which include the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Alert, Speed Recognition Aid and Speed Limiter.
