2025 Ford Transit Custom PHEV, E-Transit Custom priced for Australia

2025 Ford Transit Custom PHEV, E-Transit Custom priced for Australia

Perth Now24-04-2025
Ford Australia has confirmed pricing for the new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric (EV) versions of its Transit Custom van, ahead of the first customer deliveries in the third quarter of 2025.
Two variants are available with each powertrain. The Transit Custom PHEV Trend LWB and Sport SWB are the cheapest of the four, priced at $67,590 and $69,990 before on-roads respectively.
The E-Transit Custom, meanwhile, is also available in Trend LWB and Sport SWB guises, albeit at considerably higher prices of $77,590 and $79,990 before on-roads respectively.
All four electrified mid-size delivery vans are therefore positioned above the existing turbo-diesel Transit Custom variants, which range in price from $56,590 for the base Trend SWB to $62,990 plus on-roads for the Sport Double Cab.
A full pricing table for the 2025 Ford Transit Custom range is at the bottom of this story.

With a focus on maximising storage space through efficient underfloor battery packaging, the Transit Custom PHEV and E-Transit Custom both offer the same interior load space dimensions as their turbo-diesel counterparts.
VDA load space is therefore 5.2m³ in short-wheelbase variants, and 6.0m³ in long-wheelbase versions. Maximum payload ranges from 1111kg to 1206kg, depending on kerb weights for individual variants, while all electrified models maintain a 2.3-tonne braked towing capacity.
Transit Custom PHEV vehicles mate a 2.5-litre petrol engine, producing 86kW of power and 209Nm of torque, with an 111kW/320Nm electric motor. Total system power outputs are quoted at 171kW, with power sent to the front wheels only.
Ford claims combined fuel consumption of just 1.7L/100km, along with an electric-only driving range of 54km based on the WLTP cycle, thanks to a liquid-cooled 11.8kWh battery. Transit Custom PHEV Credit: CarExpert
In contrast, E-Transit Customs are powered by a single, rear-mounted motor producing 160kW and 415Nm, making them rear-wheel drive.
This is fed by a 64kWh battery pack, and WLTP electric driving range is quoted at either 301km or 307km for LWB and SWB models respectively.
Ford has also fitted a heat pump to all E-Transit Customs, while also incorporating a one-pedal driving mode as seen on the all-electric Mustang Mach-E.
For context, turbo-diesel Transit Customs utilise a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 125kW and 390Nm. These models are front-drive only, and have a claimed fuel economy of 8.0L/100km. E-Transit Custom Credit: CarExpert
Inside, the Transit Custom's standard three-abreast seating arrangement has been retained, while all models feature a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
E-Transit Customs gain Ford's Secure Visibility Pack as standard, which offers a digital rear-view mirror via a camera mounted on the rear load door, and removes the load area glazing o improve security. This pack is optional on diesel and PHEV variants.
Safety gear for both the EV and PHEV Transit Customs includes intelligent adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane-keeping aid with lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, trailer sway control, side wind stabilisation, and a 180-degree rear-view camera.
A full list of E-Transit Custom equipment will be released closer to launch, and we'll detail PHEV variants in a separate price and specs article.

Renault Boreal: Global version of Dacia Bigster revealed

The Dacia Bigster — the budget brand's largest SUV to date — has been given a glow up and transformed into the Renault Boreal for sale in Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Mediterranean basin. With Dacia largely confined to Europe, Renault has rebadged many models from its Romanian marque for sale in other markets, primarily Africa and Latin America. Typically this involves swapping Dacia badges for Renault ones, and maybe tweaking the grille. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Boreal goes a step further by having completely distinct exterior panels, except for maybe the roof. Up front, the simple lines of the Bigster have given way for a split headlight treatment integrated into an egg-crate grille. Along the sides the Boreal has smoother surfacing, and a vast section of chiselled faux brushed metal trim on the D-pillar. At the back, the Boreal ditches the Bigster's awkward arrowhead tail-lights for a set that wouldn't look out of place on a Skoda. Despite these changes, the Boreal is clearly very closely related to Bigster with the two sharing the same overall shape, as well as door apertures, and both feature hidden rear door handles. The Boreal is 4556mm long, 1841mm wide, 1650mm tall, and rides on a 2702mm wheelbase. Boot space with a rear seats up is rated at 522 litres. The differences continue on the inside, with the Bigster having its own unique dashboard design where the 10.0-inch instrumentation screen flows into the 10.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. While the Bigster's interior makes a virtue of its assortment of hard, but durable plastic, the Boreal's dash has soft-touch material. The Renault also features more realistic-looking faux metal elements, leather-look seats with contrast stitching, and more generously padded armrests, at least up front. The Boreal will be made in Brazil for Latin American markets from late 2025, and in Turkey for the Middle East and Mediterranean basin some time in 2026. While the Bigster is available with a choice of mild-hybrid and hybrid drivetrains, as well as the option of all-wheel drive and a manual transmission, the Boreal will be available exclusively with a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine matched with six-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. For Boreals made in Turkey the engine develops 103kW and 240Nm, while Brazil-made models are available in petrol or FlexFuel derivatives, the latter of which can use almost any mixture of petrol and alcohol. Brazilian petrol models make 116kW, and FlexFuel variants develop 122kW and 270Nm. Available features include dual-zone climate control, a refrigerated centre bin, and a Harmon Kardon sound system. The infotainment system runs on the Android Automotive operating system with built-in Google Maps for navigation and Google Assistant voice recognition, and has access to the Google Play app store. Safety items include blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistance, traffic sign recognition, autonomous emergency braking, safe exit monitoring, and drowsiness alerts. The Dacia Bigster (above) was launched at the end of 2024. Closely related to the third-generation Dacia Duster, both cars use the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's CMF-B LS platform. While the Duster has been sold as a Renault in many global markets since the first generation, it has only just landed in Australia No word yet on whether the Boreal will be sold in Australia, but so far it doesn't look like the car will be produced in right-hand drive.
