The vehicle’s 2.0L dual-overhead cam inline-four-cylinder engine matched to a continuously variable transmission allows the vehicle to achieve greater efficiency on the road, especially when driving in the city.

As point of comparison, Ford offers two engine options in its Transit Connect small van: a 1.6L EcoBoost and a 2.5L DOHC four-cylinder. In the 2014 Transit Connect, the 1.6L EcoBoost offers 25 mpg combined, with 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. The 2.5L unit offers 24 mpg combined, with 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
