The 2024 Ford Transit Custom sets a new benchmark in van interiors, emphasising practicality, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. Here's an overview of its standout features:
Innovative Flat Floor Design: The introduction of a completely flat floor across the cabin marks a significant change. This enhances usability, especially for accommodating three adults comfortably in the front, eliminating the common middle-seat discomfort and facilitating easier movement within the cabin.
Dashboard Design Variations: Distinct dashboard designs distinguish the automatic and manual versions. The manual model features a gear lever protruding into the cabin space, potentially limiting legroom for the middle passenger. Conversely, the automatic model's gear shifter is positioned next to the steering wheel, creating more space and comfort for the middle-seat occupant.
Enhanced Storage Solutions: The Transit Custom offers a range of storage options. A notable feature is a deep dashboard compartment, made possible by relocating the passenger airbag to the roof, providing ample space for larger items. Additional storage includes door pockets, a standard glove box, and further open storage on the dashboard top. Under-seat storage, connected to the rear loading bay via a load-through hatch, adds to the van's practicality.
High-End Infotainment System: All models are equipped with a standard 13-inch touchscreen, integrated with Ford's latest Sync 4 operating system. This setup includes wireless smartphone mirroring for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and built-in Alexa for voice-controlled functionality.
Connectivity and Control: The integration of a 5G modem in the Transit Custom allows access to a wide range of telematics via Ford Pro. This feature is particularly useful for small businesses, offering capabilities like remote locking or unlocking, fuel economy monitoring, and vehicle location tracking.

Special Steering Wheel Table: An innovative addition is the steering wheel table, part of the Mobile Office pack. This feature transforms the steering wheel into a flat surface, suitable for eating or working on a laptop, with an easy mechanism to switch between driving and table modes.
Comfortable and Spacious Seating: The flat floor design and gearshift repositioning in automatic models provide a more spacious and comfortable seating arrangement, especially for the middle-seat passenger.
Practicality and Safety Features: Revamped with safety in mind, the van includes various features for a high Euro NCAP score. The airbag repositioning has also enabled additional storage space.
Interior Load Capacity: The Transit Custom offers varying cargo volumes, from 5.8m3 to 9.0m3, depending on the model. It features interior lengths at the floor ranging from 2,602mm to 3,002mm and heights up to 1,814mm, providing ample space for diverse loading needs.
Accessories for Loading: Several flooring and lining options are available, including half and full-height side protection, with choices of wood or polypro setups. A solid metal bulkhead comes standard, and a glazed version is optional. Notably, the load-through hatch under the passenger seat enhances loading flexibility, especially for longer items.
These features collectively elevate the 2024 Ford Transit Custom to the forefront of its class, combining innovative design with practical functionality, ensuring it meets the diverse needs of today's commercial users.
The 2024 Ford Transit Custom, widely recognised for its dynamic driving experience, has been further refined to elevate its performance. Here's an overview of the key features that contribute to its enhanced driving experience:
Improved Dynamics: The latest Transit Custom has undergone substantial revisions to its steering and suspension, aimed at creating a more car-like driving experience. The steering feels notably lighter, and the ride is slightly firmer, enhancing the vehicle's overall responsiveness and ease of handling.
Bodystyle Variability: The Transit Custom comes in a range of body styles, including short and long wheelbases. Upcoming versions will introduce more diversity, including a higher roof, a double-cab, and an innovative Multicab, combining rear seating with a section of full-length load bay.
Fuel Economy and Value: Despite carrying over its engine range, the Transit Custom has seen improvements in fuel economy. The wide range of trim levels and added standard equipment contribute to making the van a better value for money.
These enhancements in the 2024 Ford Transit Custom not only maintain its reputation for enjoyable driving but also add a layer of sophistication and user-friendliness, making it an even more compelling choice for those seeking a balance between performance and practicality.
The 2024 Ford Transit Custom offers an impressive range of engine options, each tailored to meet varying driving requirements and environmental considerations:
Diesel Engine Variants
At the heart of the Transit Custom's powertrain are its 2.0-litre diesel engines, renowned for their balance of power and efficiency. Available in four output variants - 110PS, 136PS, 150PS, and 170PS - these engines cater to a broad spectrum of performance needs. The 110PS version provides competent handling for everyday tasks, while the 170PS variant delivers a more spirited driving experience, characterised by robust responsiveness and agility. This range of options ensures that whether you prioritise fuel economy or driving dynamics, there's a diesel engine that meets your requirements.
Plug-in Hybrid Model
In an effort to align with modern environmental standards and urban efficiency demands, the Transit Custom introduces a groundbreaking plug-in hybrid model. This innovative variant combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine with a 65kWh battery, mirroring the advanced powertrain found in the Ford Kuga. Ideal for urban environments, this model offers an impressive electric-only range of 35 miles. It stands out as an environmentally conscious choice, significantly reducing emissions and fuel consumption, particularly beneficial for businesses striving to minimise their ecological footprint.
The inclusion of the hybrid model underscores Ford's dedication to environmental sustainability. This effort is further highlighted by the anticipated release of a fully electric version of the Transit Custom, showcasing Ford's commitment to evolving with the transportation needs and environmental expectations of the future. These developments not only cater to current market demands but also pave the way for a more eco-friendly and efficient future in commercial transportation.
In conclusion, the 2024 Ford Transit Custom is not just an upgrade from the 2023 model but a transformation. Balancing the rugged durability expected of a commercial van with the sophistication of modern technology and comfort, it stands out as an exemplary choice in its category. Its array of features, from the flat-floor cabin design enhancing passenger comfort to the advanced infotainment system, caters to both the driver's and passengers' needs. The diverse engine options, including the eco-friendly hybrid model, demonstrate Ford's commitment to performance and environmental consciousness. The Transit Custom's dynamic driving experience, combined with practicality and safety features, makes it an ideal vehicle for various commercial needs.
