5 Reasons Why You Should Buy the Ford Transit Custom

When it comes to medium-sized vans on the market, the Ford Transit Custom has been the van of choice for both UK businesses and individuals since it was first introduced in 2012. Over the last decade, the van has received some changes, which has led to the release of the 2023 Transit Custom.

If you have owned an older model for a considerable amount of time, you may want to consider upgrading or buying a Ford Transit Custom. The 2023 model is a complete overhaul compared to previous models, ensuring that business owners and personal users can have a more connected and productive experience.

As the 2023 model is expected to be released this year, we’ve put together five reasons why you should buy the all-new Ford Transit Custom.

When is the New Ford Transit Custom Coming Out? 

The all-new Ford Transit Custom will go on sale in 2023, featuring both plug-in hybrid and EcoBlue diesel engines. While the new e-Transit Custom is set to be released in 2024, business owners who are looking to electrify their van fleet will have to wait until next year to get their hands on the electric version. The e-Transit Custom is set to enter production in autumn 2023.

How Much is the New Ford Transit Custom? 

When it comes to the price of the all-new Ford Transit Custom, this is dependent upon the model you choose.

At Nationwide Cars, we offer Transit Customs at competitive prices, meaning that you can buy or upgrade your van without having to break the bank. If you are wondering what 2023 models we will be selling, fill out our vehicle enquiry form and one of our team members will guide you through the process of upgrading or buying your new Transit Custom.

Class-Leading Load Space and Access 

Compared to other medium-sized vans on the market, the Ford Transit Custom has consistently led the way, particularly in terms of load space and access.

Whether you need to transport cargo or equipment for your business or convert it into a camper van, the Transit Custom provides plenty of options for both businesses and personal users in terms of space. The maximum load space begins from 5.8 cubic metres, all the way up to 9 cubic metres.

Accessing your goods or services is made possible with the wide-opening sliding side doors and rear barn doors. If you decide to go for the limited model, you can open the side doors without having to do it yourself. It’s worth noting that this is an optional extra and is great, particularly if your staff want a hands-free alternative to opening the side doors themselves.

Stay Connected on the Move With Ford SYNC 4

Dreaming of having your own mobile office on the move? With Ford SYNC 4, it means that you can stay connected on the move. 

The FordPass Connect 4G modem is out and in comes a brand new 5G modem, delivering superfast internet to supercharge your productivity. This means that you won’t have to be frustrated about having a patchy internet connection wherever you are as you accept jobs from clients via your laptop.

Alongside that, the increased connectivity means that you can get live, real-time traffic updates, which will plan the quickest and most efficient route to get you to your destination on time. With the mounted steering wheel, it provides an opportunity to mount your laptop or eat your lunch without feeling cramped inside the vehicle.

Three Different Models to Choose From

With the all-new Ford Transit Custom, there are three different models to choose from, with each catering to specific needs and preferences. Whether you want to use the van for business or leisure use, there’s a Transit Custom Model for you.

Business owners who are looking to buy or upgrade their van fleet may want to consider getting the Limited version. This model is designed for businesses who want a van that’s both practical and dependable, but has a premium-quality feel. Not only does it come with keyless entry and start, but it also comes with heated driver and passenger seats.

Alongside the Limited version, there is also the Trail and Sport Transit Custom versions. These models are great for personal use, particularly if you are planning to convert it into your very own camper van. The load space provides plenty of space to create your own home-from-home.

Range Of Engines to Power Your Transit Custom 

When it comes to engines, the all-new 2023 Ford Transit Custom holds its own compared to other mid-sized vans in its class.

With a choice of a 2 litre EcoBlue diesel engine, 2.5 litre plug-in hybrid petrol engine or an all-electric powertrain, offering between 100kW and 160kW versions, there is no shortage of options available for both individuals and businesses. 

Not only do the engines offer excellent fuel efficiency, but are capable of towing huge loads. Whatever engine you choose, you are guaranteed that you’ll get plenty of performance compared to the Volkswagen Transporter or Citroen Dispatch, particularly on city commutes and long-distance journeys.

Go All-Electric with the e-Transit Custom 

For those seeking a greener alternative, the Ford Transit Custom offers an all-electric variant, the e-Transit Custom. 

This zero-emission model provides the same versatility and load space as its diesel counterparts while delivering impressive electric performance. With a range of between 171 to 236 miles, you won’t have to worry about range anxiety, particularly with having to find the nearest station to charge your car.

The e-Transit Custom allows you to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising on power or practicality, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious businesses or individuals.
