Ford unveils the new E-Tourneo Courier, a five-seat multi-activity vehicle with a distinctive SUV-inspired design that packs in a compact size, ideal for the city, with ample space for passengers and their luggage. It features a sophisticated all-electric drivetrain, complemented by a wide range of digital and connected features, including convenient over-the-air updates that evolve the vehicle over time, which help make the driving experience possession even more attractive and accessible.
The E-Tourneo Courier has been developed to carry up to five adults and their luggage in comfort, with enhanced practicality thanks to 60-40 split rear seating and a 44% larger trunk than the previous model. 2 Increased headroom and optimized space offer a more comfortable cabin for passengers as well as multiple storage areas, including a configurable center console, a ‘secret’ compartment and a 44-litre frunk.
The on-board digital experience is centered around the innovative “digiboard” dashboard which features a fully digital instrument cluster and SYNC 4 multimedia system controlled via the large 12-inch touchscreen. 3 Connectivity is guaranteed by compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; over-the-air software updates allow vehicle features to evolve over time. A convenient wireless charger is also available on board to power smartphones while on the road.
The E-Tourneo Courier’s 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor delivers smooth travel, further accentuated by the driver-selectable One Pedal 6 riding mode. The most comprehensive advanced driver assistance package in the category 7 makes it easier on both daily commutes and longer journeys. It is also possible to choose between the driving modes Normal, Eco and Slippery. The vehicle can be recharged in stations of 11 kW in alternating current or up to 100 kW in direct current.
Home recharging management is made easier by the practical app and by the possibility of planning recharging times taking into account the most convenient energy tariffs, where available. A typical overnight home charge takes less than 6 hours on average to go from 10 to 100%. 8 Ford software and the Blue Oval Charge Network – which is one of the largest in Europe, set to include 500,000 charge points by 2024 – also facilitate public charging. With a DC charge, customers can add 87km of range in just 10 minutes and can go from 10 to 80% charge in less than 35 minutes. 8
The E-Tourneo Courier is one of ten all-electric vehicles Ford will offer in Europe by 2024, with a goal of selling exclusively zero-emission vehicles by 2035. The company is investing $50 billion, globally globally, by 2026 to achieve the production of more than 2 million 100% electric vehicles within the same year. The 100% electric version will arrive in Europe in 2024, following the launch of the Tourneo Courier with 125 HP 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine which will be available to order as early as this summer, with the first deliveries by the end of 2023.
