What is the Most Fuel Efficient Minivan?

Ford Transit Connect Wagon - Up to 25 MPG Combined

Staying in the shallow-end of the market we come to the redesigned Ford Transit Connect Wagon, a vehicle that’s all-new for 2014. This mini-minivan focuses on getting things done, with blue-collar, utilitarian sensibility. It’s also offered as a dedicated cargo van for serious hauling.

Ford’s Tranny offers customers two engine choices, a bottom-feeder 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 169 HP and 171 LB-FT of torque or an up-level 1.6-liter EcoBoost unit with 178 HP and 184 LB-FT. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board. Additionally, Ford offers two wheelbases with the Transit Connect Wagon: short and long. With compact dimensions and a downsized, turbocharged engine it delivers the best fuel efficiency here.
