Instead of work, the Tourneo Custom also knows how to adventure as long as you opt for the Flexibus. Ford presented the camper van conversion at the Caravan Salon 2019, describing the newcomer as “an affordable entry into the segment of compact leisure vehicles.”
An entry-level price and flexibility are the strong points of the Flexibus according to the Blue Oval, and the conversion comes courtesy of Sortimo Speedwave GmbH. The company is known for the Tourneo Custom Euroline, but the Flexibus is a slightly different approach.
Two versions are offered, 320 and 340, in either L1 and L2 wheelbases. The short model boasts 2,933 millimeters between axles while the longer option stretches over 3,300 millimeters. Maximum payload varies between 0.9 and 1.1 metric tonnes, and as for the engine, customers can choose turbo diesels with outputs from 105 to 185 PS (77 to 136 kW).
A six-speed manual or an automatic do the shifting, and the starting point for the Flexibus is the Sortimo Multi-Functional Floor. This part of the vehicle can be ordered with a comfortable carpet or a plastic floor for easier cleaning and improved durability. In both cases, the roof-mounted tent is available on request. As you can tell from the main photo of the story, there’s enough room in there for a good night’s sleep for two adults.
Moving on to the interior, the rails in the floor enable the high flexibility that Ford was speaking about. Plenty of seats or up to four beds, tie-down spots for cargo and gear, there’s a lot to like about the Flexibus. As for pricing, FoMoCo doesn’t have one yet but does mention the Transit Custom will set you back 35,200 euros (gross) in Germany.
Looking through the German configurator for the Tourneo Custom, the Euroline conversion retails at 43,506 euros before optional extras, respectively. This camper van is based on the 320 variant and L1 wheelbase, packing 130 PS (96 kW) as standard from the 2.0-liter EcoBlue engine.
