Ford Tourneo Connect
1.5 EcoBoost petrol FWD automatic
August 2023: The result of this car has been updated. Previously reported Ammonia (NH3) values were incorrect owing to a technical error with the equipment at the test laboratory and a correction has been applied.
The Ford Tourneo Connect is a utility vehicle with a turbo-charged 1.5 litre petrol engine supplied by Volkswagen. The body shape strongly influences the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, leading to low results in the Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Indexes. The score for pollutant emissions is less than that of its VW Caddy 1.5 TSI twin, and the results provide clear evidence that this can be attributed to the use of an automatic transmission instead of the Caddy's manual box. The Tourneo would be expected to deliver very similar results to the VW Caddy if it were tested with a manual gearbox. With the automatic box used in this assessment, the emissions aftertreatment loses robustness in the demanding Highway Test Cycle. On the positive side, both competitors score an equally high 7.3/10 for pollutant emissions in the On-Road Drive. Overall, the tested Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5 EcoBoost scores 33% and receives 2 Green stars.
