2022 Ford Transit 150: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The headline 2022 change is the all-electric E-Transit joining the broader Transit family. For the gas Transit 150, this is a light equipment update rather than a redesign, led by a standard 12-inch SYNC 4 setup on Passenger Van XLT models.
About the 2022 Ford Transit 150
1st U.S.-market Transit generation (introduced for 2015), in the post-2020 updated version; 2022 is the third model year after that major update.
Ford positions the Transit as a highly configurable full-size van family that can serve cargo, crew, shuttle, and passenger duty without forcing buyers into a pickup or a bus. Its main appeal is choice: multiple roof heights, wheelbases, seating layouts, and available AWD, paired with more car-like road manners and strong safety tech for a work-focused vehicle. Compared with rivals, the Transit’s biggest differentiators are its configuration range, easier drivability, and strong support for upfits and commercial use.
The 2022 Transit 150 lineup covers work-focused cargo vans with low or medium roofs and regular or long wheelbases, plus XL and XLT passenger vans. XL models focus on straightforward group transport with rear air conditioning, while XLT models add a 12-inch touchscreen, a digital rear camera, more parking help, and reclining rear seats. Cargo versions retain wide-opening rear doors and a standard driver-assistance suite.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Ford added the all-electric E-Transit to the broader Transit family for 2022. The gas Transit 150 engine lineup did not receive a confirmed lineup-wide change.
Tech
Passenger Van XLT models gained a standard 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen and high-resolution digital rear camera. Navigation and satellite radio also moved from optional to standard on XLT, and new 12-inch SYNC 4 packages joined the wider lineup.
Safety
Reverse Brake Assist joined the 2022 equipment list. Ford also changed the BLIS name to Blind Spot Assist 1.0; this was a wording update rather than a new blind-spot system.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 2022 Ford Transit 150 an electric van?
No. The Transit 150 versions covered here are gas-powered. Ford added the separate all-electric E-Transit to the broader Transit family for 2022.
What changed on the 2022 Transit 150 XLT passenger van?
The 2022 Transit 150 Passenger Van XLT gained a standard 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen and a standard high-resolution digital rear camera. Navigation and satellite radio also became standard rather than optional.
Did the 2022 Transit 150 receive new driver-assistance equipment?
Yes. Reverse Brake Assist joined the 2022 equipment list. Ford also renamed BLIS as Blind Spot Assist 1.0, but that wording change does not represent a newly introduced blind-spot system.
How different is the 2022 Ford Transit 150 from the 2021 model?
It is not dramatically different overall. The clearest reason to favor a 2022 is the Passenger Van XLT's upgraded standard infotainment and digital rear camera; the main gas Transit 150 body configurations otherwise remain familiar.
