The 2025 Ford e-Tourneo Courier Base is Ford’s fresh-faced entry into the compact electric MPV game, perfect for families or businesses needing a practical, zero-emission runabout. This Romanian-built Base trim aims to be an accessible EV, packing essential features without breaking the bank. With a starting price around €35,999 in the EU, it’s all about maximising space and utility on an electric platform. It’s a proper little workhorse, ready to tackle the urban jungle and school runs with quiet confidence, offering a sensible slice of the electric pie.
Having just rolled off the production line starting in 2024, the 2025 e-Tourneo Courier Base is as fresh as it gets! This model year essentially carries forward the launch specifications, bringing Ford's latest thinking in compact electric mobility to European roads. It’s part of Ford's big electric offensive, so expect up-to-date battery tech and a design focused on practicality for the modern era. Think of it as Ford laying down a new marker in the small electric van-based MPV segment, ready to shake things up.
The e-Tourneo Courier Base rocks a modern, slightly boxy 'minivan' silhouette that screams practicality, measuring 4337 mm long, 1876 mm wide (mirrors tucked in!), and 1817 mm tall. Its design is honest and functional, aimed at maximising interior volume. The Base trim keeps things sensible, likely with sturdy steel wheels and functional lighting, but still carries Ford’s current design DNA with a distinctive front end. It’s not trying to be a sports car, but a clever, compact carrier with a friendly face, built for the demands of daily life in tight European cities.
Step inside the e-Tourneo Courier Base and you'll find a cabin built for versatility, seating five comfortably. While the Base trim focuses on durability, Ford’s latest SYNC infotainment system with a decent-sized touchscreen, likely offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, should keep you connected. The real party trick is the space: a whopping 570 litres of boot space, expanding to a cavernous 2162 litres with seats down! Plus, there’s a handy 44-litre frunk under the bonnet for charging cables or a bit of shopping. It’s properly TARDIS-like!
Under the bonnet (well, sort of!), the e-Tourneo Courier Base gets a single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driving the front wheels, delivering a respectable 100 kW (that's about 136 horsepower) and a handy 290 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes a leisurely 11 seconds, topping out at 145 km/h – perfectly adequate for city driving and motorway cruising. Expect a comfortable, easy-going driving experience focused on practicality rather than B-road thrills. Regenerative braking will help eke out extra range. It’s all about smooth, quiet progress.
The e-Tourneo Courier Base is powered by a 43.6 kWh (usable) battery pack, offering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of around 242 km – enough for daily duties and a bit beyond. Efficiency is rated at a decent 5.55 km/kWh. For charging, you get a standard 11 kW AC on-board charger, juicing it up overnight. Hook it up to a DC fast charger, and it’ll slurp power at up to 100 kW via its CCS Type 2 port, meaning speedy top-ups on longer journeys.
While a Euro NCAP rating for the 2025 e-Tourneo Courier Base might still be pending, expect Ford to equip it with a solid suite of safety kit. Standard features likely include essentials like autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and speed sign recognition. More advanced systems such as adaptive cruise control or blind-spot monitoring might be part of optional packs on this Base trim, so check the configurator. Ford usually prioritises family safety, so it should provide good peace of mind.
Ford typically backs its European EVs with a comprehensive warranty, so expect something like a 2 or 3-year unlimited mileage basic vehicle warranty for the e-Tourneo Courier Base. Crucially, the high-voltage battery should be covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Powertrain components will also have substantial cover. Electric vehicles generally boast lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts, meaning fewer trips to the garage and more cash in your pocket.
