Does the 2026 Ford Transit Passenger Van offer any new features?
Yes — many, in fact. The new Transit Passenger Van comes standard with updated infotainment technology and extra driver safety aids. It’s also available with a new exterior color, Wild Green Metallic. Plus, the XLT trim model is more luxurious than before, with standard heated front seats for your out-of-state winter road trips.
New Infotainment Features
The 2026 model is the first Transit to feature SYNC 4 — and this infotainment gear comes standard on every model! Compared to the outgoing system, SYNC 4 adds a standard 12-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. You’ll also enjoy the added benefit of the new 5G modem, which enhances Wi-Fi speed and makes over-the-air updates possible. No more trips to the Ford dealer for the latest software patches! Also new for 2026 is a standard 8-inch digital instrument panel; configure it to display priority data.
Standard Ford Co-Pilot360
Fleet safety is a major priority for the new Transit! Both trim models come standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features — including blind-spot warning, lane-keeping assist, forward collision mitigation, and a rearview camera. The more exclusive XLT van casts an even wider safety net, with standard Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0. This package adds to the aforementioned features with a 360-degree parking camera, adaptive cruise control, Connected Navigation, and more.

What are the engine options for the 2026 Ford Transit Passenger Van?
The Transit Passenger’s base engine, a 275-horsepower V6, impresses with its strong, smooth acceleration. For a little extra oomph, check out the optional EcoBoost V6, which boosts both power output (310 hp) and fuel economy (thanks to its turbocharger). This engine increases the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) to 11,200 pounds without the axle upgrade, helping you transport heavier items with ease. (Passenger Vans with the base engine have a GCWR of 10,800 pounds with the standard 3.73 axle ratio or 11,200 pounds with the available 4.10 axle ratio. Models with the EcoBoost engine aren’t available with the 4.10 axle ratio.)
2026 Transit Passenger Powertrain Options

- Optional turbo 3.5L V6 (310 hp, 400 lb-ft)
