He Camper world continues to rise and that is forcing manufacturers to get their act together in front of an increasingly knowledgeable and exquisite public. That is the reason why we see renovations like the one brought by the 2024 Ford Transit Custom Nuggetwhich has a new version and improves many aspects. It is already the fourth generation of one of the most traditional models in the segment. It is true that it has never had the popularity of the Mercedes Marco Polo or Volkswagen California, but it has renewed arguments to detract from their sales.
The main novelty of this model is that it adds the Active version to the family. As happens in other models, this finish provides a more robust style, with those crossover airs that are so sought after today. It has a good number of specific elements such as the distinctive grille, black plastic rocker panels, exterior cladding, exclusive 17-inch wheels and LED taillights. The interior also features durable, water-resistant fabric seats, as well as all of the model’s technology.
Another big news for the Transit Custom Nugget is that it is available in a extended battle variant to gain space inside. It can be configured with Titanium and Active finishes, providing a multi-zone interior layout very useful. It consists of an extended kitchen area with more storage and also another built-in cupboard in the living area. It is worth mentioning that this variant includes an integrated toilet and other benefits that the rest already offer.
Because we must not forget that this model boasts a complete standard equipment. There is no lack of an integrated hob and sink with a water heater. Nor are the heated swivel front seats, a refrigerator drawer, beds and a Smart Camper multifunctional system with a touch screen to control lighting, heating and water levels. There are also new features in the mechanical range of the new Ford Transit Custom Nugget.
In addition to the well-known EcoBlue diesel engine 170 hp with eight-speed automatic transmission, which can be configured with an all-wheel drive system optionally, there is a fully electrified variant. We are talking about the plug-in hybrid system taken from the new Ford Kuga, which combines a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an electric block to reach a combined power of 233 hp. It also has an 11.8 kWh battery to complete the package.
