The second-generation Transit Connect was introduced on 6 September, 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This will be in production for the 2014 model year. In its first redesign since its 2002 introduction, the Transit Connect adopts many features of the Kinetic Design language. A major design change is the adoption of the rear liftgate, replacing the double rear doors. In North America, it will be powered by a 2.5 L inline-4 and a 1.6 L EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4; the transmission will be a 6-speed automatic.
In North America, the passenger version of the Transit Connect will be sold as the company's first 7-passenger minivan since the discontinuation of the Freestar after 2007.
The Transit Connect Wagon will include the optional new feature called MyKey, a personalized key system. MyKey owner controls let the vehicle owner program different keys to restrict different vehicle features, such as top speed, maximum volume, and other features .

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Their virtues lived in their children. The family changed its persons but not its manners, and they continued a blessing to the world from generation to generation.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Once I prophesied that this generation of Americans had a rendezvous with destiny. That prophecy now comes true. To us much is given; more is expected. This generation will nobly save or mainly lose the last best hope of earth. The way is plain, peaceful, generous just. A way, which if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
