Used 2020 Ford Transit Connect Minivan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Ford Transit Connect is available in both cargo- and passenger-van configurations. The cargo van is offered in XL and XLT trims in either the short- (SWB) or long-wheelbase (LWB) version. Passenger vans also come in two wheelbase options and are available in XL (LWB only), XLT and Titanium trims.

The XL and XLT trims in both cargo or passenger configurations offer a choice of a rear liftgate or rear doors that swing open 180 degrees. All vans are front-wheel-drive; all-wheel drive isn't available.

The XL cargo van comes standard with two-passenger seating, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (169 horsepower, 171 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission, 16-inch steel wheels, black bumpers and body trim, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, a rearview camera, and pre-collision assist, which includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking.

Interior comforts include air conditioning, power front windows, a height-adjustable driver's seat, vinyl upholstery, vinyl floor covering, and a four-speaker sound system with Bluetooth and one USB port.

The XLT cargo van is equipped with foglights, body-colored bumpers and body trim, heated power mirrors, and cruise control. Inside, the XLT gets cloth upholstery, floor mats, cruise control, wireless smartphone charging, two USB ports, satellite radio, and the Sync 3 interface with a 6.5-inch touchscreen.

The XL passenger van supplements the base XL equipment with power second-row windows, a rear window defroster, cruise control, rear parking sensors, second- and third-row fold-flat seats, six cupholders (two in each row), and cloth upholstery.

The XLT passenger van, available in short- and long-wheelbase versions, adds the XLT cargo van's many extras along with dual-zone climate control and a nine-speaker sound system. 

The Titanium passenger van also offers the option of short- or long-wheelbase versions and adds 16-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, LED foglights, power-folding mirrors, remote ignition, keyless entry and ignition, a locking glovebox, heated front seats, a six-way power driver's seat, leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, integrated navigation, and HD radio.

The new Co-Pilot360 bundle of active driver safety features is included with XLT and Titanium trims (optional on XL versions) and comes with automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning and lane keeping assist.

Which Transit Connect trim does Edmunds recommend?

Buyers on a tight budget will likely be satisfied with a base XL trim because it covers all the bases that a small business or delivery enterprise might need. But for not much more money, we'd suggest the XLT since it adds several comfort and convenience features that make for a better driving experience. Both trims are also available in short or long wheelbases.
