Known for crafting the most powerful and efficient vehicles, Ford seems to be an obvious contender for those in the market for a commercial cargo van. The rugged 2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van brings that same reliability we’ve come to expect from the motor vehicle company. See how this heavy-duty Ford hauler stacks up to the competition in this comparison of the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van and the 2019 Nissan NV200.
Offered standard on the 2019 Ford Transit Connect Van, the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection system helps guard you and your cargo from collision risks on the road. Also unique to the Ford Transit Connect Van is the standard Side Wind Stabilization system. High winds are particularly hazardous for stocky vehicles such as cargo vans. If a strong gust of wind is detected, the system carefully applies the brakes on one side to keep you safe and centered in your lane. Optional driver-assistance systems on the Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van include reverse sensing, Lane-Keeping Aid with Lane Departure Warning and the Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert.
Collision warning, wind stabilization, reverse sensing, lane departure warning and blind spot warning systems are not offered at all on the Nissan NV200.
