“We would have paid for standard features that did not come on this transit. We ended up purchasing many after-market items which should have been an option at the time of purchase.”
2015 Ford Transit Connect: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2015 Ford Transit Connect
2nd generation (2014-2023), second model year; before the 2019 mid-cycle update
Ford positioned the Transit Connect as a compact, easy-to-maneuver alternative to a full-size work van or conventional minivan. Cargo versions emphasize a low load floor, dual sliding doors, useful payload space, and city-friendly dimensions. Passenger wagons provide five- or seven-seat layouts with foldable rear seating. Across both forms, its core appeal is combining van-like space and access with front-wheel-drive road manners and four-cylinder fuel economy.
The 2015 lineup ranges from the work-focused XL cargo van to the more comfortable XLT and the passenger-oriented Titanium wagon. XL emphasizes durable vinyl surfaces and dual sliding doors, XLT adds cloth seats and cruise control, and the seven-passenger Titanium adds heated leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate control, and a rearview camera.

2015 Ford Transit Connect
(79 reviews)
“I am enjoying my new van and like the seating. Shifter could be placed a bit better in regards to cup holders or vice versa in front. Would like both seated to be automatic adjustable, lower outside noise, and when windy a bit of a difference from mini!”
“A functional alternative to both a minivan or a full-sized Transit or Sprinter for the right use case. However, don't expect great performance or off road ability.”
