Why lease a Ford Transit Connect
The Transit Connect offers the space and versatility of a compact van but with the drivability of a car.
Want a longer load space? Fine, as there’s a long-wheelbase option for you that can take up to 3.7m3 of cargo. Do you need more than just the two seats? Not a problem — the Transit Connect has options for an extra row of seats in the double cab-in-van configuration. Have to carry heavy loads? Payload options extend to 961kg.
Loading and unloading are simple, with a kerb-side sliding door on the van variants, and rear doors that open to 180 degrees for unrestricted access.
Besides the Ford Transit Connect's traditional 2.0-litre diesel engine, the plug-in hybrid powertrain is both powerful and economical, unlocking 150 PS and a range of up to 72 miles using nothing but electricity.
About Ford Transit Connect

There are two lengths to choose from (L1 and L2), the latter of which unlocks a load volume of up to 3.7 cubic metres.
Meanwhile you can also lease the Ford Transit Connect as either a traditional two-seat panel van, or with a five-seat 'FlexCab' layout.
Unlike many other small vans, the latest Ford Transit Connect can also be enjoyed with an efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain, which delivers a range of up to 72 miles in EV mode.

Ford Transit Connect PHEV Review
Refined, efficient and easy to live with, the Ford Transit Connect PHEV blends useful electric range with real-world practicality. The payload isn’t the strongest and the infotainment lags behind rivals, but for operators not yet ready to go fully electric, it’s the sweet spot in Ford’s LCV range.

Top quality service full marks . We were expertly guided from a to z by Rubin Ball who was exceptional
Niall Purdon and the team at Select Car Leasing were excellent keeping me informed and providing a fast and efficient service as well as a fantastic price for my chosen vehicle.
Kim was so helpful and very responsive. The delivery person was really helpful and communicated brilliantly. My only suggestion for improvement would be the timeline on the customer portal, which wasn’t always updated to reflect the stage in the process that we had reached.
