 Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)

The 1 percent increase in sales volume allowed the Ford Transit Connect to remain the best-selling vehicle in its segment, outselling the Nissan NV200 and Ram ProMaster City. All models in the segment saw sales increase during the quarter with the ProMaster City posting the largest increase of nearly 53 percent. Surprisingly, the soon-to-be-discontinued NV200 saw sales increase 17 percent.

Sales Numbers - Compact Vans - Q1 2021 - United States

From a segment share standpoint, the Transit Connect held a 47 percent share, a decrease of 6 percent from Q1 2020. The Nissan NV200 held a 34 percent share, up from 33 percent, while the Ram-branded Fiat van held a 20 percent share, up 5 percent from its segment share in Q1 2020.

The compact van segment expanded nearly 14 percent to 16,366 units in Q1 2021, meaning Transit Connect sales grew slower than the segment average.

The Ford Authority Take

The numbers continue to speak for themselves: the Ford Transit Connect dominated its segment during the first quarter of 2021, despite sales remaining flat, which we attribute to supply issues associated with the ongoing microchip shortage.

For the 2021 model year, Ford will discontinue the Transit Connect Taxi package, while also making a few other minor changes to the compact van range.
