Next-gen Ford Transit Courier caught on camera while testing

Ford has recently introduced an update for its Tourneo Connect van in Europe, but the company has long neglected its other model in the same segment, the cheaper Transit Courier a.k.a. Tourneo Courier. Based on the Fiesta platform, it debuted nearly a decade ago – but the next generation is coming at last.

The spy shots depict a heavily cladded prototype with somewhat less camo at the front end. A closer look reveals a radiator grille, a lower air intake and a bumper with in-built fog lights. The rest of the van looks as boxy as ever, although later design iterations might change it.

Other than that, the prototype appears slightly larger than the current-gen Transit Courier (see video) and resembles the Ford Puma SUV, which it could be loosely based upon.

Buyers should be looking forward to electrified powertrain options in addition to the usual petrol and diesel ones. An all-electric van is not out of the question, either, but Ford’s roadmap suggests it will not be coming until at least 2024.
