Say Goodbye To One Of America’s Best Small Vans

The next-generation Transit Connect (code-named V758) would have used the same Ford C2 platform as the aforementioned Bronco Sport crossover and Maverick SUV, and which also underpins the Escape and several European models. Though the van will no longer be offered in the US market, Ford will continue selling it in Europe where small transport vehicles are more popular.

Small van sales have declined in the US, but Ford still led the segment with 26,112 units sold in 2021. To put that in perspective, Ford sold 99,745 units of the larger Transit in the same year.
