The Ford Tourneo is a small minibus (8-9 seats) closely based on Ford's Transit van (not to be confused with the full size Ford Transit minibus). The Tourneo is also considered an executive transport vehicle, being one of the more luxurious vehicles of its class, which also includes the Mercedes-Benz Viano and the Volkswagen Caravelle. The Ford Tourneo was introduced in the 1990s and has had good sales. It has undergone various facelifts in line with the rest of the Transit range and the next facelift is expected to be around 2009/2010 model year.
