Ford Transit Custom Is Best-Selling Light Commercial Vehicle In The UK in 2022
For the second year running, the Ford Transit Custom van is the UK’s Best Selling Light Commercial Vehicle of 2022. A firm favourite on our UK roads.
With 42,215 Ford Transit Custom registrations in 2022, tailed by its cousin the Ford Transit at 33,203 registrations, Ford have dominated the competition. In fact, Ford are responsible for four of the top 10 slots being filled, bypassing every other manufacturer in the list.
So, what do we think contributes to its obvious success?
Customisation: name of the game
This popular medium-sized van offers plenty of choice, before it's even been bought. The customer has options like L1 or L2 wheelbases, H1 or H2 roof heights, and even a Double Cab In-Van model if more seating is what you need. All Transit Customs come with double sliding side doors and 50/50 split rear doors, ensuring daily access is painless and practical.
Power to the people
A variety of engine options are available, the most popular being the 2.0-litre diesel with either manual or auto gearboxes depending on your preference. However, there are mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid options available should efficiency and benefit to the environment be on your mind.
Stay true to you
Trim levels range from Leader, Active, Sport, Trend, Trail and Limited. All trims are given a high level of equipment, especially in comparison to competitors - possibly another contributor to its popularity. Having a range-topping and unmistakably sporty trim of MS-RT offers the customer an element of individuality when using the van in their day-to-day life. Popular it may be, but blend into the crowd you won’t.
Technology galore
The consistent five-star Euro NCAP safety rating awarded to the Transit Custom is well-earned, with several clever systems on board to assist with windy weather, body roll, load carrying and emergency braking control.
No doubt also contributing to the excellent NCAP ratings, the driver is given a wealth of technology in the cabin to help with daily driving. Lane Keeping Alert systems, Pre-Collision Assist and Pedestrian Detection among them. The Ford SYNC3 infotainment system keeps the driver connected without taking focus away from the driving.
Quality AND quantity
The interior is as high-quality as it is practical. Even the lower trim levels have AUX input, electric windows, remote central locking and coming-home lights as standard. The middle and higher trim levels add folding electric mirrors, a voice control system, heated windscreens and uprated materials for the interior, such as leather, and so much more.
