The Tourneo Connect Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) will take Tourneo Connect's flexibility and versatility to the next level – enabling customers to electrify their driving experience by driving up to a targeted 110 km using pure-electric power, and drive with zero tailpipe emissions in Europe's growing number of low-emission zones.<br /><br />The innovative new powertrain in Tourneo Connect PHEV integrates a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, high-voltage battery and electric motor to deliver a combined 150 PS and 350 Nm of torque through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The battery can be fast-charged at up to 50 kW using DC public chargers on long road trips, or fully recharged at home using AC charging up to 11 kW.<br /><br />Easy-to-understand drive modes make it simple for drivers to optimize how battery power is used:<br /><br /> EV Now: to drive using only the electric motor<br /> EV Auto: balances electric and petrol power to best suit driving conditions<br /> EV Later: to drive using only the petrol engine, saving all the battery energy for use later<br /> EV Reserve: saves a driver-defined level of battery energy for use later<br /><br />Customers can choose between the five-seat Tourneo Connect PHEV,or the longer seven-seat Grand Tourneo Connect PHEV with a two-seat third row as standard. The spacious and versatile cabin remains unaffected by the new PHEV powertrain; with the rear seat rows removed, customers benefit from up to 3.1 m3 of boot space in Grand Tourneo Connect PHEV, and up to 2.6 m3 in Tourneo Connect PHEV.<br /><br />Order books for Tourneo Connect PHEV open later in summer 2024, with initial deliveries expected during the final quarter of the year.<br /><br />Source : Ford
