The updated Ford Transit Custom will bring autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection as standard across the range, with the introduction of the new Transit Custom Sport and double cab-in-van models to Australia.
Winner of the inaugural 2018 Drive Commercial of the Year, the Transit Custom has now seen its standard specification include a full suite of driver assist technology, building on its five-star ANCAP rating.
That’s in addition to fresh new body styles, powertrain upgrades and a sports-oriented Transit Custom for the first time.
Certain Transit Custom models can now also tow more and carry more, while the full range brings more equipment.
“The Transit Custom is going from strength to strength, and we know that Australian buyers are looking for even greater versatility and more choice when it comes to their work van,” Ford Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive officer Kay Hart.
“With AEB as standard on every model, and the new Transit Custom Sport available in both van and double cab-in-van body styles, we’ve covered practicality and personality for customers looking for capability and character.”
The latest Transit Custom builds on previous updates that have included an automatic transmission, more than 100 special vehicle option paint colours and SYNC 3 with a full-colour eight-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone capability. In addition, Transit Custom continues to offer 30,000km service intervals as well as a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty as standard.
Transit Custom owners also stand to benefit from an increasing Ford Service Benefits program. In addition to Service Loan Car, VanCare Membership (including Roadside Assistance) and sat-nav updates, Transit Custom ownership includes a maximum cost of $349 (including GST) for the first four years/120,000km (whichever occurs first) of scheduled servicing at Ford dealerships.
