The Ford Authority Take

The Blue Oval has confirmed that the Ford Transit Connect is on the chopping block, and it will be fully discontinued after the 2023 model year. As such, its sales will decline until stock of the compact van is depleted, alongside its sole competitor, the ProMaster City, which has also been discontinued.

It’s worth noting that the current Ford Transit Connect does not introduce any major changes to the compact van line. The current-gen model has been in production and largely unchanged since the 2013 model year, though it did undergo a mid-cycle refresh for the 2019 model year. However, the 2023 Transit Connect ditched its optional 2.5L I4 engine and is now only available with the the 2.0L I4 engine.
