The Ford Tourneo Custom II L2 2.0 EcoBlue (170 Hp) AWD Automatic, introduced in July 2023, represents a significant evolution in Ford’s European van offerings. Building upon the success of the previous generation, the Tourneo Custom II prioritizes increased space, improved efficiency, and modern technology. The “L2” designation indicates a long wheelbase configuration, maximizing interior volume. This particular variant, featuring the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engine producing 170 horsepower coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, aims to strike a balance between performance, fuel economy, and practicality for both family and commercial applications. It occupies a mid-range position within the Tourneo Custom II lineup, offering a step up in power and capability compared to the base engine options.
Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Ford Tourneo Custom II L2 2.0 EcoBlue AWD Automatic is powered by the Ford EcoBlue 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder diesel engine, specifically the BKAA variant. This engine is a contemporary diesel design incorporating common-rail direct injection and a turbocharger with intercooling. The EcoBlue series is engineered with a focus on reducing emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency. The 16.5:1 compression ratio contributes to efficient combustion. The engine utilizes a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain with four valves per cylinder, optimizing airflow for increased power output. The eight-speed automatic transmission, a key component of this variant, is designed to deliver smooth and efficient gear changes, maximizing fuel economy and drivability. This transmission is electronically controlled, adapting to driving conditions and driver input.
Driving Characteristics
The 170 horsepower and 390 Nm (287.65 lb-ft) of torque generated by the 2.0 EcoBlue engine, combined with the all-wheel-drive system, provide a respectable level of performance for a vehicle of this size. While not focused on outright speed, the Tourneo Custom II L2 offers sufficient power for comfortable highway cruising and carrying a full passenger or cargo load. The eight-speed automatic transmission helps maintain the engine within its optimal power band, providing responsive acceleration. Compared to lower-powered Tourneo Custom versions, this variant delivers a noticeable performance improvement, particularly when fully loaded or navigating inclines. The all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and stability, especially in challenging weather conditions. However, it doesn’t replicate the dynamic handling characteristics of a rear-wheel-drive performance van.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The Tourneo Custom II L2 2.0 EcoBlue (170 Hp) AWD Automatic typically includes standard features such as air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, a basic audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, and a comprehensive suite of safety features including ABS, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and multiple airbags. Higher trim levels offer upgrades like a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, leather upholstery, heated seats, parking sensors, and a rearview camera. The L2 designation signifies the long wheelbase, providing generous space for up to nine passengers or a substantial amount of cargo. Optional extras frequently include panoramic sunroofs, upgraded audio systems, and various driver-assistance technologies.
Chassis & Braking
The Tourneo Custom II L2 features an independent front suspension with McPherson struts, a coil spring, and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension employs an independent coil spring and trailing arm configuration. This suspension setup is designed to provide a comfortable ride while maintaining good handling. The braking system consists of ventilated discs on all four wheels, measuring 308mm at the front and 304mm at the rear, providing adequate stopping power for the vehicle’s weight. The inclusion of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) further enhances safety and control.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Ford Tourneo Custom II L2 2.0 EcoBlue (170 Hp) AWD Automatic has been generally well-received in the European market, lauded for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and improved fuel efficiency compared to previous models. Critics have acknowledged the engine’s good balance of power and economy. Compared to the lower-powered 130 hp version, the 170 hp variant offers a significant performance boost, making it more suitable for those who frequently carry heavy loads or travel long distances. The AWD system adds a layer of security and capability for drivers in regions with inclement weather. Fuel economy figures, while respectable for a vehicle of this size, are slightly lower than those achieved by the front-wheel-drive versions.
Legacy
The Ford EcoBlue engine family has demonstrated a reputation for reliability, with the 2.0-liter variant proving durable in service. The eight-speed automatic transmission, while complex, has also shown good reliability. The Tourneo Custom II L2 2.0 EcoBlue (170 Hp) AWD Automatic is expected to maintain its value reasonably well in the used car market, as demand for versatile and efficient passenger vehicles continues to grow. Regular maintenance, including oil changes and adherence to Ford’s recommended service intervals, will be crucial for ensuring the long-term reliability of this powertrain.
