2024 Ford Transit Custom Sport detailed

Ford Australia has finally announced full specifications of its inbound Transit Custom Sport models ahead of their arrival in the fourth quarter of this year, with prices still starting from $59,990 plus on-road costs.

Based on the already-released Trend version of the all-new mid-size commercial van range, the 2024 Ford Transit Custom Sport and Sport Double Cab are defined by their more athletic exterior designs, which once again proudly brandish go-faster GT stripes, a unique body kit and black 17-inch wheels.

Inside, you’ll find a similar level of enthusiasm: the seats are lined with ‘sports trim’ with blue stripes and there are piano-black inserts on the dash, centre console and doors, plus dual driver armrests, dual-zone climate control and a closeable upper glovebox containing two USB-C ports.

Other stand-out features include 10-way power-adjustment for the driver’s seat, heated front seats, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, 13-inch infotainment system, column-mounted gear selector, electric park brake and a wireless charging pad.

The two-row Double Cab ($62,990 plus ORCs) builds on this with dual passenger armrests, a centre console with dual cup holders and retractable tambour door, carpeted cabin floor, relocated wireless charger, pop-out side rear windows, moulded bulkhead with window, ISOFIX and upper child seat anchors for the outboard rear seats and rear door storage capacity.

Other inclusions comprise LED load-space lighting, a 180-degree reversing camera, smartphone mirroring and a load area protection kit.

Ford Australia product and retail marketing manager Tony Jordan said the Transit Custom Sport twins would make the brand’s van line-up “one of the strongest in the country”, especially once the Tourneo people-mover arrives.

Both Transit Custom Sport vans have GCMs of 5525kg, GVMs of 3025kg and a maximum braked towing capacity of 2500kg.

Those figures yield a 1023kg payload for the Sport SWB and 854kg for the Double Cab.

No changes have been made to the 125kW/390Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine under the bonnet or the eight-speed automatic via which it drives the front wheels, as per the more utilitarian Transit Custom Trend.
