The Tourneo Connect Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) will take Tourneo Connect's flexibility and versatility to the next level – enabling customers to electrify their driving experience by driving up to a targeted 110 km using pure-electric power, and drive with zero tailpipe emissions in Europe's growing number of low-emission zones.
The innovative new powertrain in Tourneo Connect PHEV integrates a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, high-voltage battery and electric motor to deliver a combined 150 PS and 350 Nm of torque through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The battery can be fast-charged at up to 50 kW using DC public chargers on long road trips, or fully recharged at home using AC charging up to 11 kW.
Easy-to-understand drive modes make it simple for drivers to optimize how battery power is used:
EV Now: to drive using only the electric motor
EV Auto: balances electric and petrol power to best suit driving conditions
EV Later: to drive using only the petrol engine, saving all the battery energy for use later
EV Reserve: saves a driver-defined level of battery energy for use later
Customers can choose between the five-seat Tourneo Connect PHEV,or the longer seven-seat Grand Tourneo Connect PHEV with a two-seat third row as standard. The spacious and versatile cabin remains unaffected by the new PHEV powertrain; with the rear seat rows removed, customers benefit from up to 3.1 m3 of boot space in Grand Tourneo Connect PHEV, and up to 2.6 m3 in Tourneo Connect PHEV.
Order books for Tourneo Connect PHEV open later in summer 2024, with initial deliveries expected during the final quarter of the year.
