Ford Tourneo custom adds Sport & Titanium X models in SA
Ford South Africa has expanded its Tourneo Custom portfolio, with the local arm of the Blue Oval brand introducing the Sport and Titanium X models to our shores. See pricing below. When the new Ford Tourneo Custom arrived in South Africa, the Blue Oval's family bus was exclusively available in Trend trim and long-wheelbase format, with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo diesel driving the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, at the local launch event, Ford's South African arm announced that more models are on the way. The first of these was introduced in March, and came in the shape of the Active derivative, a more cost-friendly version of the aforementioned variant, which Car Mag evaluated for a road test in the December 2024 issue of the magazine. The automaker has now further expanded the range with the introduction of the (short-wheelbase, 5 050mm) Sport and Titanium X models. The Sport and Titanium X are equipped with the same transmission and single-turbo oil-burner as their long-wheelbase (5 450mm) siblings, though gains a 25kW/30Nm injection in power/torque for a total system output of 125kW and 390Nm. Noteworthy, the new models also gain a larger fuel tank (80 vs 70L), allowing for a driving range just below 1 100km from a single, full tank when matching the firm's 7.4L/100km claim. Priced just above R1.2m (see full pricing below), the Sport variant is distinguished from its stablemates via the addition of a model-specific front grille and body kit, rear spoiler, dual racing stripes, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Customers have the option of upgrading to 19-inch items at additional cost. Interior fitment includes 13-inch touchscreen infotainment, replete with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 10-speaker sound system, and racing stripes for the pews. The Titanium X derivative features a 'classy' front grille, flanked by Matrix LED headlamp arrays, and multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels. Stepping inside (via electrically operated sliding doors) , the flagship gains a panoramic sunroof, which is available with the optional Luxe package. The latter also includes a 14-speaker Bang & Olufson sound system and ambient lighting. A 360-degree surround-view camera setup is also present. The front passenger seat gains electric adjustment, while second-row passengers are afforded seat heating. 2025 Ford Tourneo Custom Price in South Africa As standard, pricing includes a six-year/90 000km Ford Optional Service Plan as standard, along with a four-year/120 000km warranty.

Ford puts Sport and smart Titanium X touches on Tourneo Custom
New flagship models bring the total Tourneo Custom range to four variants. Ford has expanded the Tourneo Custom range with the addition of the Sport (silver) and Titanium X (blue). Image: Ford Its line-up expanded back in March this year, Ford has seemingly completed the Tourneo Custom range with the introduction of two additional variants. Positioned above the mid-range Trend, the Sport and Titanium X becomes the range's flagships, the former being similar in concept to the Transit Custom Sport, and the latter directly aimed at upmarket versions of the Hyundai Staria, as well as the Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Volkswagen T6.1 Caravelle. Tourneo Custom Sport Aesthetically, the Sport's exterior additions comprise 17-inch or optional 19-inch alloy wheels, sportier bumper and extended door sills, a black honeycomb grille, spoiler integrated into the bootlid, and Sport decals on the tailgate. NOW READ: New Ford Tourneo rises to the task of work and play As with its Transit sibling, dual black racing stripes with blue outer edging at the base of the doors, across the bonnet, on the roof and tailgate rounds the exterior off. Over and above the specification of the Trend, the Sport still provides seating for eight, but gains LED headlights, partial leather upholstery with blue stripes, piano key black detailing, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, electric driver's seat, electric dual sliding side doors and tri-zone climate control. Interior of the Sport gets partial leather seats with blue striping. Image: Ford While the 13-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the eight-inch instrument cluster and 10-speaker sound system all remain, added safety and driver assistance tech comprises Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring and Reverse Brake Assist. Tourneo Custom Titanium X At the other end of the scale, the Titanium X gets a chrome 'studded' grille, Matrix LED headlights, bespoke 19-inch alloy wheels and chrome exterior surrounds. A full-size panoramic glass roof has been fitted to the Titanium X as standard. Image: Ford Inside, the same infotainment system, instrument cluster and speaker count as the Sport prevails, however, a full length panoramic roof becomes standard, as does full leather upholstery, heated and electric front seats, a 360-degree surround-view camera system and a heated second row. As part of the optional Luxe package, buyers get ambient lighting plus a 14-speaker B&O Play sound system. Colours In terms of colours, eight hues have been allocated; Magnetic, Frozen White, Moondust Silver, Grey Matter, Artisan Red, Chrome Blue, Agate Black Metallic and Digital Aqua Blue. For the Sport, only the latter hue has been made off limits due to it being bespoke to the Titanium X. Powered-up diesel On the power front, the Sport and Titanium X join the Transit Custom Sport in being powered by the uprated single turbo 2.0-litre Panther diesel engine developing 125kW/390Nm. A steering column-mounted eight-speed automatic gearbox, unique to the Tourneo Custom and Transit Custom, once again sends the amount of twist to the front axle. As with the Trend and entry-level Active, a drive mode selector with four settings has been fitted as standard; Slippery, Eco, Normal and Tow/Haul. Price Now available, the four-model Tourneo Custom range is covered by a four-year/120 000 km warranty with a four-year/90 000 km service plan being optional.
