New 2.0 Single Turbo engine with AdBlue®
The all-new automatic derivatives of the Tourneo Custom Bus are powered by the latest generation 2.0-litre Single Turbo diesel engine, which is derived from the impressive units used in the current Ford Ranger and Everest models.
Two versions of this engine are available, with the unit in the mid-level Tourneo Custom Trend producing 96kW of power matched to 385Nm of torque. The top-spec Tourneo Custom Limited delivers 136kW allied to a substantial torque peak of 415Nm – which guarantees impressive all-round performance, whether negotiating traffic in busy city commutes or heading out onto the open road.
In both models, power is delivered to the front wheels via the six-speed automatic transmission that does duty in the current Ranger 2.2 and 3.2-litre models, delivering great responsiveness and all-round performance. It offers conventional automatic shifting in “Drive”, as well as “Sport” mode for more responsive performance. Additionally, “Manual” mode with SelectShift gives the driver control over the gearshift points, which is particularly useful when towing.
All-new dashboard, SYNC®3 for the first time on Tourneo
While the exterior styling of the new Tourneo Custom automatic models is unchanged from the recently facelifted range, the cabin environment has been enhanced with an all-new dashboard and instrument panel based on Ford’s new interior design philosophy – pioneered on the current Fiesta and EcoSport. This offers an attractive, user-centric layout that is influenced by consumer interactions with smart devices and tablets.
Ford’s SYNC®3 communications and entertainment system sees its first introduction in the range-topping Tourneo Custom Limited Automatic, allowing drivers to control audio functions and connected smartphones using simple, conversational voice commands.
On the Trend Automatic, a four-inch screen is supplied, using a simpler version of SYNC®3. On both systems, a total of eight USB ports are located throughout the cabin for charging mobile devices. An integrated 230v power socket is available as an optional item to power various devices, such as laptop computers, while on the move.
Exceptional safety and standard features
The Tourneo Custom boasts an extensive array of standard and optional safety features. In the event of a collision, occupants are protected with a full array of front, curtain and side impact airbags as standard fitment. This is complemented by active driving safety features including the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Hill Launch Assist (HLA), Roll-Over Mitigation (ROM), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). Additionally, Ford’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fitted on both derivatives, which alerts the driver as soon as any tyre deflation is detected.
The extensive range of optional items, available on Trend and Limited models, includes front and rear parking sensors, a rear parking camera, Lane Keeping Aid and Lane Departure Warning, as well as the Blind Spot Detection System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage.
The new automatic models are equipped as standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, while the existing manual derivatives retain 16-inch rims.
At CMH Kempster Ford Randburg we care about you and your family. We pride ourselves on our Ford products and their ability to make your life on the road safe and enjoyable every time.

“Kick off 2021” just got an extra kick with the All-New Ford Mustang Mach 1. A beast in its own league.
The New Ford Mustang Mach 1 leaves no room for humility, its loud heritage and innovative prowess is evident from a mile away. Equipped with a 5.0 litre V8 all-aluminium engine, 450 hp/ 343kw and a peak torque of 529Nm the Mach 1 is a beast unto its own and carries the technology to support it. Strapped with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) software, the Mach 1 still takes the trophy over the most gruesome curves and bends; offering the precise steering of any Mustang to date. To emphasise this fact, the Mach 1 is suited with the MagneRide 2 adjustable suspension system which electronically controls the magnetorheological fluid inside the damper to respond in real time to changing road conditions.
In the spirit of optimum performance and driving experience the Mach 1 offers a choice in transmissions options. The TREMEC 3160 six-speed manual transmission uses a twin-disc clutch to comfortably manage aggressive, high-rpm gear-changes on track, and provides a short-throw shift action for fast, consistent shifts that maximise performance and the fun-to-drive factor. The advanced Ford 10-speed automatic transmission includes an upgraded torque converter and unique calibration for Mustang Mach 1, optimising torque capability shift character and overall power and performance with half the effort.
In true Mach 1 fashion, it doesn’t end there. The burly figured beast offers a distinctive, race- derived, aerodynamic look which has been the core component of its predecessors, but it's not all for show. This aerodynamic shape creates more downforce for an improved grip on the track, 22% more than the Mustang GT. The front and side grill provide improved cooling performance for such a hard-working machine.
As a cherry on top, the Mach 1 provides a uniquely tuned Active Valve Performance Exhaust feature that helps you calibrate the sound of your exhaust, from quiet to Track, unleashing the full might and unmistakable sound of the Ford V8.
Enquire now about the All-new Ford Mustang Mach 1, it’s a whole new league.

CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria embarked on a journey in Ford Guest Experience (FGE) which is mainly a commitment we wanted to partake in delivering a sales and service experience that is distinctly Ford, and that all our guests love because every guest is special.
So to help us carry this through and sustain it we had the honour to have three interns who will be embarking on this journey with us and “excitement” is an understatement to use to describe what the opportunity of having these three energetic interns made us feel!
When we received the email from Ford introducing the three ladies whom we’d take under our wing to introduce and coach them about the real corporate we couldn’t be more delighted.
The three interns named: Zenande Picane, Kate Mtileni and Lehlogonolo Mako started with us on the 11th January 2021 and here is what they had to say about themselves:
Kate Mtileni is currently studying Public Relations through the University of South Africa and she has done marketing / promotions since 2014, she says she is passionate about make-up and is self thought. Kate started trading clothing as a side business (Mhhh I think we have a smart young lady over here)
“At a time like this where a lot of our youth especially graduates are unemployed whilst our country’s unemployment rate continues to rise above the waves, one may say that it is with great honour to be one of the few candidates that was selected to be part of YES4Youth Programme with Ford”, Says Zenande Picane who is an artist by profession and she highlights that during this Coronavirus Pandemic, majority of artists are and were left stranded as their work has to do with the mass being in contact and that is where she was rescued by the YES4YOUTH PROGRAMME.
Ms Picane says The YES programme has already created a future vision for her as to how one should conduct themselves in the corporate world in terms of being professional and being customer orientated. She further says as a young black woman, she is ready for the YES PROGRAMME to educate her in all aspects of the business!
Last but not least, we have Lehlogonolo Mako who is studying towards a degree in Law through the University of South Africa but she says marketing and sales is definitely her hobby ( well isn’t she at the right place). Lehlogonolo says she is passionate about working with different people in different fields, she speaks on not going to limit herself and that she will strive to do her best and work hard with every opportunity coming her way.
Lehlogonolo says she is learning how fast paced the industry is and all the challenges but she is willing to take it right ON!
We are extremely delighted to have them and we hope to impart all the necessary skills to these three SO positive women. From all of us at CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria, We wish them a great year with us and a brighter future!
At CMH Kempster Ford Hatfield we are proud to have the opportunity to sell this vehicle to you. There are also some facts about a Ford Ranger Production that we would like to share with you. Some you may know and some you may have not known thus far.
It may be interesting for many to also note that Ford South Africa will be building their 700 000th Ford Ranger in the year 2020. We truly think this is a great achievement not only for the local plants but for all employees of the Ford brand.
The Year 2019 had other milestones for our favourite vehicle.
You can enjoy driving this amazing vehicle that is globally recognized by visiting us at CMH Kempster Ford Hatfield. We have a wide selection of derivatives under the Ford Ranger scope, let us help you drive one of the best.

Ford Takes Two Class Victories on Inaugural WesBank Fuel Economy Tour
· Ford Ranger 2.0 Single Turbo XLT Double Cab, with advanced 10-speed automatic, claims victory in highly competitive pickup segment with overall consumption of 6.81 l/100km
· Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost wins its class on 5.21 l/100km
· Runner-up position for Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi in turbodiesel compact SUV class after recording impressive 5.38 l/100km
· WesBank Fuel Economy Tour route covered 2435km over five days, travelling from Johannesburg through Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth and George to Cape Town
Ford lives up to 'Go Further' brand promise and was translated into tangible results last week after the Ford Ranger and Ford Fiesta traveled further on less fuel and emerged as the most fuel-efficient vehicles in their respective segments during the inaugural WesBank Fuel Economy Tour in partnership with FNB. The Ford Kuga was a close second in the turbo diesel compact SUV segment.
The event featured 40 entries from 12 manufacturers across various classes, which ensured that the fuel economy of direct competitors was tested in real-world driving conditions.
The Ford Ranger, powered by the all-new 2.0 Single Turbo engine matched to the advanced, 10-speed automatic transmission, proved its status as the most economical pickup in its segment over widely varied and challenging terrain all driven at normal everyday speeds. The Ranger recorded an exceptional average fuel consumption of 6.8179 l/100km.
"The performance of the New Ranger was simply remarkable," Colin Mileman said at the prize-giving ceremony in Cape Town. "The all-new 2.0 Single Turbo is an outstanding engine, giving us all the power and torque we needed to conquer the steep uphill’s, while just sipping fuel."
"The results from the WesBank Fuel Economy Tour provide invaluable fuel consumption data for consumers to compare vehicles in the respective segments. It also demonstrates the economy that can be achieved when the vehicles are driven in the most fuel-efficient manner," Mileman added.
In the compact car segment, the 1.0 EcoBoost engine of the Ford Fiesta proved why it is a multiple International Engine of the Year winner. The Ford Fiesta competed in the class for turbocharged petrol engines below 1100cc and took the class win with an average consumption of just 5.21 l/100km.
"I was mightily impressed by the Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost's thrifty drinking habits over the past week's sojourn, allowing us to win our class and finish ninth overall out of 40 participants in the maiden WesBank Fuel Economy Tour," Matebese said. "This event is a great marketing tool for manufacturers."
In the rapidly-growing compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment, the Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi recorded an impressive average consumption of 5.38 l/100km.
"I knew the Kuga 1.5 TDCi was good, but to achieve that fuel economy on the challenging roads we drove, while having to maintain the realistic speeds and stay within the allocated times for each section, was amazing," Adams stated.
