The cabin has been refreshed with an all-new dashboard and instrument panel based on Ford’s new interior design which offers an attractive, user-centric layout that is influenced by consumer interactions with smart devices and tablets. 

The new dashboard has a distinctly upscale appearance, reinforced soft-touch surfaces, and attractive detailing with chrome and gloss black finishes. The new instrument cluster, displays, and control panels have been designed for enhanced ergonomics and ease of use.

The new three-spoke steering wheel is derived from the latest passenger car designs, with a simplified and improved control layout for the audio, telephony, and cruise control functions.

Ford’s SYNC^®3 communications and entertainment system sees its first introduction in the range-topping Tourneo Custom Limited Automatic, allowing drivers to control audio functions and connected smartphones using simple, conversational voice commands.

SYNC^®3 provides full smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, including the option of using the phone’s navigation apps.

On both systems, a total of eight USB ports are located throughout the cabin for charging mobile devices. An integrated 230v power socket is available as an optional item to power various devices, such as laptop computers, while on the move.
