Design & Engineering Overview: e-Tourneo Custom L2 160

Manufacturer Overview & Design Inspirations: e-Tourneo Custom L2 160

Ford’s take on the e-Tourneo Custom is based on a comprehensive knowledge of what customers want and need, combining its long history of designing tough, functional vehicles with a progressive vision for electrification and sustainability. The rationale behind this model is not to electrify an existing platform, but to design a vehicle that is “built from the top down for maximum efficiency,” with all aspects of the vehicle optimised for the electric era. The mindset is there in the architecture of the vehicle, tailored to provide the most usable space inside, while delivering engaging driving dynamics.

The styling is inspired by the goal of balancing the comfort of a luxury saloon with the utility of a commercial van. Ford has emphasised human-centred design, making technology have a clear purpose and enhancing the experience of the user. Sustainability is a central theme, evident not just in the zero-emission powertrain but also in the choice of materials such as high-quality Sensico synthetic leather, which is a long-lasting and comfortable alternative to regular leather.

It’s this dedication to pushing boundaries that sets the e-Tourneo Custom apart. Ford has also incorporated features normally reserved for its premium passenger vehicles, including the sophisticated SYNC 4 infotainment system and advanced driver-assist systems. As such, they are transforming the MPV from a basic people mover to a connected, smart and desirable space that facilitates both professional and private journeys just as well.

• Human-Centric Design: Every feature, from the seating layout to the digital interface, is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly.
• Sustainable Innovation: The all-electric powertrain and use of eco-conscious materials demonstrate a commitment to a greener future.
• Optimised Architecture: The new platform is engineered specifically for electrification, providing superior space, comfort, and driving performance.

Exterior Design & Styling: e-Tourneo Custom L2 Highlights

Design & Exterior

The exterior design of the Ford e-Tourneo Custom is the perfect harmony of style and practicality. It evokes strength and agility thanks to its broad stance and clean, flowing contours. A distinctive full-width LED light bar, which makes a very strong visual statement. Stylised headlights are slanted upwards and to the outside, which conveys a more aggressive and confident mood. It is a vehicle that was not only meant to look sophisticated but one that would make you look sophisticated, be it when lining up for an executive transfer at a five-star hotel or when making a weekend camp on the backcountry.

Built on a completely new platform, the e-Tourneo Custom L2 benefits from a lowered floor height, offering greatly enhanced access and more space within the cabin. The styling is extremely aerodynamic, with precision-machined surfaces working to maximise efficiency and range of travel. Attention to detail, such as integrated side-door runners and a choice of alloy wheels, makes a premium style statement. This is a machine that’s as good-looking as it is well-performing.

The L2’s longer wheelbase gives the vehicle an even more imposing road presence, while it also brings further interior room and versatility. The design strikes the right balance between the large, functional volume and a dynamic and sophisticated shape so that it does not look out of place anywhere.

• Confident Stance: The wide track and bold front-end design give the e-Tourneo Custom a strong road presence.
• Improved Accessibility: The lower floor height makes getting in and out of the vehicle effortless for all passengers.

Performance & Handling: e-Tourneo Custom L2 160 kW Driving Review

Performance & Driving Experience: e-Tourneo Custom L2 160

Behind its stylish skin, the Ford e-Tourneo Custom L2 160 kW conceals a complex all-electric powertrain designed for smooth, responsive, and efficient driving. The electric motor of 160 kW (214 hp) produces a whopping 415 Nm of torque directly to the rear wheels. This immediate torque-up effect also provides a quick and easy acceleration, which enables the vehicle to carry out motorway traffic and urban traffic at a pace that is out of character for its size. The single-speed automatic gearbox provides a very linear and smooth power delivery, without any of the pauses associated with changing gears of a manual transmission.

Powertrain & Acceleration

Powertrain & Acceleration

But it is in the driving where the e-Tourneo Custom really excels. The electric motor’s near-silent hum turns the cabin into a peaceful, serene place, making long-distance driving less tiring for the driver. What really transforms the game, though, is the all-new independent rear suspension. This sophisticated configuration, unusual in this class, produces a compliant yet controlled ride that absorbs road imperfections. The end result is a ride so comfortable it can be compared with that of a premium saloon, leaving passengers feeling revitalised when they reach their destination.

Handling is sure-footed and secure, with well-weighted steering that transmits a good feel for the road and makes the vehicle surprisingly easy to handle on the road. The battery pack’s floor-mounted position also lowers the centre of gravity, which helps produce stable, predictable handling through corners. Drive mode selections enable the driver to adjust the vehicle’s character, with settings such as ‘Normal’ for a well-rounded driving experience, ‘Eco’ to maximise efficiency and range, and ‘Slippery’ for enhanced traction in slippery conditions.

• Instant Torque: The electric motor provides immediate throttle response for confident acceleration in any situation.
• Refined Ride Quality: The independent rear suspension delivers exceptional comfort, isolating passengers from poor road surfaces.
• Quiet Operation: A near-silent powertrain creates a peaceful cabin atmosphere, perfect for conversation or enjoying the B&O sound system.

First Drive Review

With the e-Tourneo Custom L2, we were sold from the get-go. As we wound our way through a combination of city streets that were anything but spacious and country roads that were wide and open, the vehicle was surprisingly nimble and easy to place. The elevated seat also offers good visibility, and the cabin’s quietness makes even the most traffic-filled cities a little less nerve-wracking. Getting up to speed from stop lights is a quiet and smooth ride, and the power is just a stab of the foot away, lending a sense of confidence to passing moves that’s reassuring and helps make them feel more effortless.

Once on the motorway, the e-Tourneo Custom finds a good rhythm. The sophisticated driver assistance systems, including Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, seamlessly maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front, reducing the driver’s workload even further. Most impressive is how refined it is; wind and road noise are subdued enough to carry on a conversation at normal volume even when travelling at higher speeds. It is designed for the kind of journeys that make life an exercise in relaxation.

Interior, Comfort & Technology: e-Tourneo Custom L2 160 kW Cabin

e-Tourneo Custom L2 160: Interior, Comfort & Technology

Step inside the e-Tourneo Custom, and the first thing you notice is a new level of space, versatility and technology for an MPV. The clean, modern design is centred around a massive 13-inch landscape touchscreen that is also the command centre for Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system. The level of materials has been raised considerably with soft touch surfaces, attractive textiles and high-end Sensico trim, making for a very well finished and inviting environment.

The star of the show is the astonishing adaptability brought by this rear track-mounted seating system. Second- and third-row seats slide forward and backwards and can even be removed, resulting in a myriad of configurations. This configuration lets you emphasise legroom for passengers or open up a massive cargo hold ideal for executive shuttle duties, family camping expeditions, you name it. The option of converting the second-row seats to face the rear to create a six-person conference arrangement is an especially nice feature.

Other aspects of comfort include the panoramic glass roof that naturally brightens the cabin, and the robust B&O audio system. Storage is plentiful, and many of the compartments are designed to work with the electronics. But maybe the one innovation that everyone wants to talk about is the optional tilting steering wheel. When the vehicle is stationary, the wheel can be flattened to form a tiny table ideal for working on a laptop computer or for a quick bite. It’s a clean and simple concept that highlights the fact that the vehicle is intended to be both a way to get around and a mobile home.

• Unmatched Flexibility: Easily reconfigure the interior to suit any need, from carrying eight people to hauling bulky equipment.
• Mobile Workspace: The tilting steering wheel provides a stable surface for working or eating, adding a new dimension of practicality.
• Connected Experience: The SYNC 4 system with its large screen and 5G connectivity keeps you informed and entertained on the move.

Safety & Reliability: ADAS, Airbags & Ownership Confidence

Safety & Reliability

Ford has designed the e-Tourneo Custom with safety in mind, with a wide array of passive and active safety systems that make everyone in the vehicle safer. While none of the official Euro NCAP ratings for it have been released yet, the model is based on a brand-new, sturdy platform and comes with the most recent Ford generation of advanced driver-assistance systems. That includes standard gear like Pre-Collision Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and Traffic Sign Recognition.

This review concludes that the safety system is advanced and easy to use. Features such as Blind Spot Information with Cross-Traffic Alert can alert you to approaching vehicles as you change lanes or back up out of a parking spot. For even more reassurance on highways, the car offers Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, which modifies your driving speed according to the car ahead and can also get the car to a complete stop in traffic.

A vital layer of passive safety comes in the form of several airbags positioned throughout the cabin: front, side and curtain. The durability of the electric powertrain has Ford’s proven electrification technology behind it, and it offers a competitive warranty on the battery and electric drive components, providing owners with assurance of long-term durability and peace of mind.

• Proactive Safety: The suite of driver-assist systems actively works to prevent accidents before they happen.
• Comprehensive Protection: A strong body structure and multiple airbags provide excellent protection for all occupants in the event of a collision.
• Effortless Driving: Features like adaptive cruise control make motorway driving safer and less demanding.

Competitor Comparison: e-Tourneo Custom L2 vs EQV & ID. Buzz

Comparison Section

Price and features. When setting the e-Tourneo Custom L2 160 kW price, one needs to keep in mind that it competes in the higher tier of electric MPVs. Its principal competitors are the Mercedes-Benz EQV and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. All four vehicles have something different to offer the buyer in this segment.

The Mercedes-Benz EQV has long set the standard when it comes to luxury in this segment, with a plush, high-end interior and the prestige of the three-pointed star badge. That translates to a smooth ride and a very fancy cabin. But the e-Tourneo Custom is clearly a straight-out rival in terms of practicality with more flexible/configurable seating and handy touches, including a tilting steering wheel. While the EQV is all about pure luxe, the Ford is a more versatile and, let’s be honest, more practical package at a comparable, or frequently more aggressive, price point.

The Volkswagen ID Buzz, meanwhile, relies heavily on nostalgia with its retro-modern styling and strong brand appeal. Stylish and desirable, this EV turns heads wherever it goes. However, the e-Tourneo Custom L2 has room to accommodate far more inside and offers greater seating adaptability, catering as many as eight individuals in contrast to the ID. Buzz, as it currently stands, has a five-seat layout. The Ford also offers a more practical and spacious alternative for larger families or businesses, as it maximises passenger or load space.
