Review: Ford Tourneo Titanium X
2025 Ford Tourneo Titanium X - The First Class Lounge Room on Wheels
Not every great drive is about chasing apexes. I know, I know. But it’s true. Sometimes, it’s about comfort, space, and the freedom to bring everyone (and everything) along for the ride... including your mother-in-law. Enter the 2025 Ford Tourneo Titanium X. Ford’s flagship people-mover that promises (and delivers) first-class travel for up to eight passengers. Whether you’re a family loading up for a road trip or a business moving VIP clients in style, the Tourneo Titanium X is designed to make every journey feel effortless.

Design:
At just over 5 metres long and almost 2 metres tall, the Tourneo isn’t exactly subtle, but it wears its bulk well. The Titanium X trim adds premium touches like body coloured bumpers, bold chrome grille, adaptive LED headlights, privacy glass, and 19-inch alloys. Electric sliding side doors on both sides add practicality, while the tall stance ensures excellent visibility for the driver. It looks professional, premium, and purposeful. Think less delivery van, more executive shuttle.
Interior & Practical Features:
Step inside and the Tourneo Titanium X immediately feels like a first-class lounge on wheels. Leather-trimmed captain’s chairs, configurable seating, and a flat floor mean the cabin can be set up for anything from maximum people-carrying to VIP comfort. In Titanium X spec, you are also treated to heated and ventilated seats up front, a huge panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, and tri-zone climate control. The second-row seats can also swivel to face the third row, turning the cabin into a mobile meeting room or family hangout. USB-A and USB-C ports are scattered throughout, alongside wireless charging pads and a 14-speaker B&O premium audio system run through a 13-inch touchscreen that features Sync4 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Luggage space with all seats up is tight at 672 litres, but fold the third row and it becomes much bigger at 1790 litres, more than enough for prams, luggage, or work kit. Alternatively, without the second and third row seats in place, there’s a mammoth 4683 litres of space.
Practicality & Everyday Use:
For families, the Tourneo shines brightest in the little details. The dual sliding doors make school runs and tight car parks a breeze, and kids can climb in without flinging doors into neighbouring cars. Access to the third row is straightforward thanks to wide openings and a flat floor, and once you’re back there, it doesn’t feel like the punishment seat. Adults can actually travel comfortably, with proper legroom, headroom, cupholders, and their own air vents. Fun fact, the middle seat in the second row can also be folded into a small table with cup holders. ISOFIX points are available through both the second and third rows too. Storage is absolutely abundant, with deep door bins, under-seat trays, cupholders for all rows, and a chilled centre console up front. Fold the third row down and you’ve suddenly got van-like luggage space, perfect for camping gear, surfboards, or even a DIY run. Families will also appreciate the abundance of charging points, making dead tablets and phones on long trips a thing of the past. It’s these thoughtful touches that make the Tourney Titanium X more than just transport. It’s a rolling hub that is equally at home on a family holiday, a Saturday sports run, or on airport shuttle duty. If you need to tow anything behind you, the Tourneo does have a 2500kg towing capacity, and 838kg of payload in Titanium X guise.
Driving Impressions:
Let’s be honest. You don’t get behind the wheel of a Ford Tourneo expecting fireworks, but what does strike you is how car-like it feels. The 2.0-litre turbo-diesel won’t win any drag races, and to be honest, it doesn’t need to. But, with 390Nm of torque, it pulls smoothly even when fully loaded. The 8-speed auto shifts unobtrusively, and the suspension has been tuned for comfort which irons out bumps incredibly well, keeping all your passengers happy. On the highway, the Tourneo settles really easy into a relaxed cruise. Wind and road noise are impressively hushed for something this boxy, (the only complaint we could think of was some very minor wind noise from the side mirrors) and the elevated driving position gives you a commanding view ahead. Around town, the steering is light, and while you’re always aware of its size, the standard 360-degree cameras make tight manoeuvres surprisingly stress-free. What’s most impressive is the sense of calm in the cabin. With the panoramic roof overhead, soft ambient lighting at night, and that B&O system filling the space with music, the Tourneo Titanium X feels closer to first-class air travel than traditional motoring.
Safety Tech:
Ford hasn’t skimped on safety. The Tourneo Titanium X comes with adaptive cruise with stop & go, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, and a full suite of airbags. A 360-degree camera and Park Assist Pro make life easier in tight spots. ANCAP testing is still pending at the time of writing this review, but given the tech on board, the Tourneo is set to tick the right boxes.
Ownership Experience:
Ford backs the Tourneo with a 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, with service intervals at 15,000km or annually. Running costs should be modest thanks to the efficient diesel engine. With its versatile cabin, huge space, and premium trim, it doubles as both a family hauler and a professional shuttle, meaning its value stretches well beyond the sticker price.
How it stacks up against the competition:
In the people-mover segment, buyers have some solid choices, but each comes with its own personality and compromises. The 2025 Ford Tourneo Titanium X doesn’t just sit alongside its rivals. It stakes a clear place in the hierarchy. It doesn’t aim to be the cheapest, the fastest, or the most tech-laden. What it does do exceptionally well however, is balance premium comfort with everyday usefulness. More executive and refined than the Kia Carnival. More practical and user-friendly than most European vans . Better value for premium ambience than the V-Class. More civilized and passenger-centric than traditional work-oriented people-movers. If your priorities are passenger comfort, modular interior utility, and an experience that feels premium without premium pricing, the Ford Tourneo Titanium X sits right at the sweet spot of the segment.
Verdict:
The 2025 Ford Tourneo Titanium X isn’t about thrills. It’s about ease. It takes the stress out of moving people, whether it’s the school run, a cross-country holiday, or chauffeuring clients. For those who need space and luxury in equal measure, it offers an experience that very few rivals can match. For the drivers? Not in the tyre-shredding sense. But if your idea of a great drive is comfort, serenity, and versatility, the Ford Tourneo Titanium X makes every kilometre feel lighter.
