From a segment share standpoint, Ford Transit Connect sales accounted for a dominant 58 percent, up 31 percentage points year-over-year. The ProMaster City earned 42 percent segment share, up 13 percentage points from one year ago. Meanwhile, the discontinued NV plummeted to zero from its segment-leading 44 percent share last year.

The compact van segment expanded six percent to 10,524 units during Q3 2022, meaning Transit Connect sales outperformed the segment average.

The Ford Authority Take

Ford Transit Connect sales in the third quarter of 2022 demonstrate the healthy amount of demand for the vehicle, as supplier constraints and other production issues continue to ease. It’s worth noting that the Transit Connect and its chief rival, the ProMaster City, have taken over sales volume for the discontinued NV, bolstering sales of both vehicles.

However, it’s important to note that the Transit Connect will soon exit the U.S. market, perhaps as soon as 2024. However, that may not mean that The Blue Oval will withdraw completely from the compact van segment in North America. In fact, it’s highly likely that the Transit Connect will be indirectly replaced by the Transit Custom in the near future. The compact van will live on in Europe, albeit as a rebadged Volkswagen.
