While sharing the name of the full size Transit and Transit Custom, the Transit Courier shares theglobal B platform with theFord Fiesta andB-Max. Its front styling is similar to the Fiesta, while its dashboard is shared with the B-Max.
Inside, a docking port option in the dashboard allows electronic devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players or portable navigation systems to connect. An option includesSync Wizard which integrates voice control of the entertainment and communications system with connected devices.
Like the B-Max, the Tourneo Courier passenger van is a five passenger vehicle. The rear seat is a 60/40 split bench seat. The outboard rear seats haveIsofix (child seat) brackets as well as a connection point with integrated USB and AUX port fitted as standard.
Behind the rear seat, an adjustable height luggage rack divides the cargo space so that both light and heavy cargo can be stowed separately.
In Mexico, the Ford Transit Courier was introduced in 2021.[2] It was only offered with a 1.0-litre inline-3 engine. It was discontinued in 2023 due to low sales and was eventually replaced by the Transit Custom.

Optionally, LED lighting is available for the cargo area.
