New Ford Tourneo Courier becomes firm's entry model in Europe | Autocar

The first-generation Courier pair were based on the B2E car platform used by the front-wheel-drive Fiesta and Puma, rather than the rear-wheel-drive commercial vehicle architecture used by the larger models in the Transit family.

This also means it’s likely that it will share the crossover’s mild-hybrid petrol and soon-to-be-introduced electric powertrains.

I thought they were sharing the VW caddy ?

I honestly think Ford has shot itself in the foot replacing the Fiesta and Focus with this... not exactly a looker and definitely not going to be a drivers car

Says. It will be well placed to do battle with the quartet of technically and visually identical small-van-derived MPVs offered by Stellantis: the Citroën Berlingo, Fiat Doblò, Peugeot Rifter and Vauxhall Combo Life. They are Connect size. So wrong.

Says the B2E car platform used by the front-wheel-drive Fiesta and Puma, rather than the rear-wheel-drive commercial vehicle architecture used by the larger models in the Transit. Only the Transit is available rear drive, the Custom, Connect and courier have always been FWD.

Omg what is going on at ford 🥱🥱🥱

So they’ve gone from making fantastic drivers cars like the Fiesta and Focus to. Ding a modified van producer? Bye bye Ford - you’re about to get wiped off the map.

Sweet Jesus.... how many 19 -25 year olds are going to forgo a new fiesta for this.... even if 50% are lost to Ford forever that's a massive number.

Cute American

Looks like a taxi.

NubrousD what the hell is this?

You mean it’s not on the VW Caddy platform?
