2023 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon Minivan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Wagon is available in three trims: XL, XLT and Titanium. All are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (162 horsepower, 144 lb-ft). An eight-speed automatic transmission drives the front wheels. The Transit Connect also has dual sliding side doors and either a rear liftgate or rear cargo doors that open 180 degrees. Second- and third-row bucket seating allows for six-passenger seating, though a second-row bench seat is optional to boost seating capacity to seven. Standard feature highlights include:

Which Transit Connect Passenger Wagon trim does Edmunds recommend?

It's not often that we recommend a top trim, but the Titanium gets our vote since it significantly improves the overall impression of the Transit Connect. Upgrades include leather upholstery, alloy wheels, premium audio and a native navigation system.
