The Ford Ranger MS-RT (M-Sport Road Technology) has been around for a few years now, and returned alongside the pickup’s most recent redesign as well. Now, that lineup has expanded to include a plug-in hybrid variant, but it isn’t alone – rather, the Ford Transit Custom MS-RT has also existed as a sporty version of that van for some time, too. Now, The Blue Oval is set to expand its European street performance lineup yet again, this time, with the new Ford E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT.
The new Ford E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT gets the same sort of exterior treatments as its peers, which in this case consists of a revised front bumper with an integrated spoiler, side skirts, a large roof spoiler, and a revamped rear quarter touting a bumper that has a built-in diffuser, along with a coast-to-coast LED light strip between the headlights. Customer can choose from a variety of bright exterior colors, including Turini Purple, Fast Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Sunset Orange, and Yellow Green.
Inside, the Ford E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT features seating for eight via a track-mounted system in the second and third rows, along with sporty side bolsters for front passengers finished in eco-leather and suede with blue contrast stitching. One will find LED-illuminated MS-RT badges, plus a sport steering wheel with a blue 12 o-clock market and stitching, to boot.
Mechanically speaking, the E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT utilizes a revised suspension with a 50mm wider track width than the regular model, and it rolls on 19-inch Anthracite alloy wheels wrapped with 235/45 tires. Power for the all-electric model comes in at 285 PS (281 horsepower), though customers can also choose from both EcoBlue diesel and PHEV variants, too. Order banks for the Ford E-Tourneo Custom MS-RT and Ranger MS-RT PHEV are set to open up in Europe later this year, with the first deliveries set to take place in 2026.
Very impressive gains.
A stylish and sporty coupe with hybrid power, but no manual gearbox.
Something the development team was aiming for.
The Blue Oval is a hot topic among Redditors, it seems.
After it just received a comprehensive redesign.
