New Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD has all the bells and whistles

Staff Reporter

Ford is expanding its premium people-mover offering with the introduction of the Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD, adding all-wheel-drive capability to the highly specified Titanium X derivative. Joining the existing front-wheel drive Titanium X in the Tourneo line-up, the new Tourneo Titanium X AWD derivative retains the premium specification, comfort and versatility while adding the enhanced traction and sure-footed capability of all-wheel-drive across a broader range of road and driving conditions.

With seating for eight occupants, a premium interior and an extensive suite of technology and safety features, the Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD is designed to appeal to families, executive transport operators and customers looking for a sophisticated and highly versatile vehicle for long-distance travel.

“The Tourneo combines the space and versatility of a people mover with the comfort, technology and refinement expected of a premium passenger vehicle” said Ryan Searle, Director of Sales Operations, Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (Manufacturing) (Pty) Ltd. “With the introduction of the Titanium X AWD, customers now have the added benefit of enhanced traction and confidence, making an already versatile vehicle even better suited to the wide range of conditions and destinations encountered by South African motorists.”

Powering the Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD is Ford’s 2.0-litre EcoBlue four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, producing 125kW of power and 390Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth and responsive performance in both urban environments and on longer journeys.

The addition of all-wheel drive enhances the Tourneo’s capability by providing additional traction when required. The system can distribute drive between the front and rear wheels according to available grip, helping the vehicle maintain traction on surfaces such as wet roads, gravel and other low-grip conditions.

For Namibian customers, this added capability makes the Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD particularly well suited to road trips and leisure travel where journeys can extend beyond paved urban roads.

Importantly, AWD complements the Tourneo’s core attributes – customers continue to benefit from the refined ride, generous interior space and passenger-focused design of the Titanium X.

Eight seats in premium comfort

The Ford Tourneo Titanium X AWD provides accommodation for eight occupants, with generous space for passengers and luggage. The interior can be configured to suit the needs of the journey, with the individual rear seats designed to be easily removed when additional luggage or load space is required. The seats can also be turned around creating a rear-facing conference-style space.

Along with the leather-appointed seating, customers who choose to purchase the optional Lux pack get additional equipment including heated second-row seats, a 14-speaker B&O sound system and a full-length panoramic moon roof designed to bathe the interior in natural light.
