Through which model year was the Ford Transit Connect sold in North America? Through the 2023 model year.
Ford introduced the Transit Connect to North America for the 2010 model year, after the compact panel van had already launched in Europe. It was smaller than the full-size Transit and served tradespeople, delivery fleets, small businesses, and taxi operators.
The North American model was imported from Europe, first from Turkey and later from Spain. Ford famously brought many cargo vans in as passenger vehicles, then converted them after importation to reduce exposure to the 25% U.S. “chicken tax” on light trucks. That unusual process is one reason the model’s North American history is often discussed separately from its European history.
Ford ended North American sales after 2023 rather than introducing the planned next-generation version. The Transit Connect continued in European markets under related Transit Connect and Tourneo Connect names, so “2023” applies specifically to North America, not necessarily to every market worldwide.
