Ford Transit Connect 
Offering a small European utility van was certainly a daring bet, however, simple components, 3,361 litres of cargo capacity and fuel consumption under 10l/100 km proved Ford right. This eminently practical front wheel drive service vehicle, powered by a 2.0l four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic, starts at $28,249. The complete range includes a taxi as well as more luxurious versions. The availability of the all-electric version however remains sketchy.
