The Ford Grand Tourneo car hails from the productive stable of light commercial vehicles produced by the manufacturer since 1965. Known in most countries as the Ford Transit, the Grand Tourneo not only serves as cargo mover but also as a people mover. It is one of the best-selling vehicles in its class internationally and has been a regular site on South Africa’s roads since 2015, which is the current generation.
The name summarizes the package: Not only is it a handsome people mover but have added conveniences like dual sliding doors and a massive hatchback. It is a big vehicle, as the name suggests but the exterior design is elegant with smooth curves, understated grille, and soft silhouette.
The interior of the Ford Grand Tourneo car for sale is all you would expect. Middle row seats can fold down in a 60:40 configuration and the back seat to 50:50 configuration to offer massive loading space. With all seats upright, it is still spacious and comfortable with more than enough legroom in all seats and adjustable seats to accommodate a varied range of passengers or load.
The comfortable driver position is optimal with supportive seats, steering wheel controls, climate control, and centre armrest. Combined with safety features like traction and stability control as well as numerous airbags it becomes a good option as a family vehicle or a hospitality mini-bus. Storage space is dotted all over the cabin and an optional extra available is a panoramic sunroof. The steering wheel is power-adjustable to maximize driver control and comfort. To add to a pleasant drive is a soft suspension and quiet interior.
The used Grand Tourneo for sale proves that a big body doesn't need a big engine to move it efficiently anymore. With an engine that provides around 110kW and a low torque ration, it copes well even in high altitude. Towing weight is around 900kg. It is not a nippy vehicle, and some drivers might find the gears a bit slow to react. The Grand Tourneo car for sale was however not built for speed, but comfort and peace of mind. The preferable model would be the 1,6Dti, manual gearbox preferred if you mind an automatic gearbox that moves a lot through the gears, depending on speed and power. The 1,6 TDCi’s combined fuel consumption is around 5liters per 100km.
