Following the triumphant arrival of the latest-generation Ford Tourneo Custom last year, Ford South Africa is now expanding its people-mover line-up with two exceptional new models, the Ford Tourneo Custom Sport and Titanium X.
The introduction of the dynamic Ford Tourneo Custom Sport and Titanium X elevates the segment, offering trend-setting style, premium sophistication, and impressive versatility.
Ford presents both new additions in a short-wheelbase, eight-seater layout, a design that aims explicitly to raise the bar for families and businesses alike.
Ford Tourneo Custom Sport and Titanium X: A New Standard in Style
The brand highlights the vehicle’s dual appeal for both personal and business use.
“The Tourneo Custom has a long heritage around the world of providing outstanding practicality, spaciousness and comfort, making it ideally suited to personal use as a family vehicle, and for business use. With the introduction of the new high-series models, we are building on the rational benefits of the Tourneo Custom platform while adding desirability, style and premium luxury to the portfolio.”
~ Sunil Sewmohan, Executive Director of Product Marketing at Ford South Africa
Ford aims these high-series models at image-conscious professionals who need a vehicle that is not only a practical tool but also a reflection of their success. Consequently, they are the ideal solution for executive shuttles and VIP transportation.
“The Tourneo Custom Sport is a more dynamic performance-oriented model with a dash of athletic design flair, while the Titanium X is our premium halo product that blends sophistication and luxury.”
~ Sunil Sewmohan
Ford’s single-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine powers both the Sport and Titanium X, delivering a potent 125kW of power and 390Nm of torque.
A smooth eight-speed automatic transmission channels this power to the front wheels. In addition, drivers can select from five drive modes—Normal, Eco, Slippery, Tow/Haul, and Sport—to optimise performance.
Tourneo Custom Sport
As the more dynamic addition to the range, the new Sport model features several eye-catching design cues. This includes a distinctive Sport honeycomb-style grille, a full body-colour front bumper, and an assertive rear spoiler.
Bold dual black and blue sport stripes run across the vehicle, while side decals complement the design to enhance its athletic appearance. Ford offers 17-inch sport alloy wheels as standard, while buyers have the option of upgrading to 19-inch versions.
Inside, the Sport trim continues its vibrant character with partial leather seats featuring blue accent stripes. Premium piano black surrounds for the multi-function display and centre console match this interior styling.
The standard infotainment system is particularly impressive, featuring a large 13‑inch landscape touchscreen that includes Ford’s SYNC®4 system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity through 10 speakers.
For those needing even more functionality, the optional Mobile Office package adds a stowable tray table and enhanced cabin lighting, among other conveniences.
The Luxurious Tourneo Custom Titanium X
In keeping with its premium positioning, the new Titanium X stands out with a classy front grille treatment. Advanced Matrix LED headlamps and striking multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels complement this premium look.
Upon entering the cabin through dual-powered side doors with a Close Assist feature, occupants discover an impressive, near full-length panoramic roof. Customers can opt for this as part of an optional Luxe Pack, which also includes a 14-speaker B&O sound system and ambient lighting, for a truly first-class experience.
In addition to the features found on the Sport, the Titanium X gains a powered front passenger seat and heated second-row seats. It also offers the option to add the Mobile Office pack for enhanced practicality.
To further aid visibility and manoeuvrability, Ford offers a 360-degree camera exclusively for the Titanium X, undoubtedly making parking and city driving much easier.
