Ford Ranger is New Zealand’s first ute to offer connectivity standard across the range with FordPass Connect.
From mid-2020, FordPass Connect will enable features including remote unlock/lock, remote start, vehicle status and remote vehicle monitoring, live traffic updates, vehicle locator, vehicle health alerts and more.
This ‘connected car’ technology pairs with the FordPass smartphone app to unlock a range of new connected services and remote vehicle functions to simplify the ownership experience.
“Ranger continues to lead the way in so many categories. By giving customers access to new technologies that make their lives easier, Ranger with the powerful combination of the FordPass App and FordPass Connect modern takes this yet another step further,” Ford New Zealand managing director Simon Rutherford says.
“Ranger and FordPass bring innovation, best-in-class features and real-world convenience to the New Zealand’s most popular new vehicle.”
Additional FordPass connected models will be announced in due course.
“FordPass connect will be rolled out across the Ford showroom in 2020, as we bring the technology to all vehicle types, across all models and all price points. We want every Ford customer to be able to benefit from this great connected technology.”
Further market details will be announced closer to the arrival of FordPass Connect for Ford Ranger in mid-2020.
