New S-MAX and Galaxy bring a fresh look to Ford of Europe’s versatile vehicle portfolio with the latest evolution of Ford’s kinetic design cues, new interior materials and features, a range of more efficient powertrains and a host of driver focused technologies for safety and comfort.

These are the first cars to be available with Ford’s all-new, high efficiency, 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. Producing 203PS (149 kW) it joins a significantly improved 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel, with 140 PS (103 kW), plus a new 163 PS (120 kW) variant.

The S-MAX quickly established itself as a car without peers – a sporty, high quality and well-equipped crossover that provides all of the benefits of a people mover, but without sacrificing style or driving enjoyment. The new model maintains this tradition and has been thoughtfully updated with significant detail changes to the exterior including a strongly sculptured bonnet and all-new front facia, emphasised by the bolder graphic of the gloss black lower front trapezoidal grille, which give S-MAX a distinctive new presence on the road.

S-MAX high series models get a new multifunctional overhead console with sunglasses holder and child watch mirror, and a new one-piece panorama roof equipped with power sun blinds. For the first time high series S-MAX models, and all models fitted with the panorama roof, get a new LED interior lighting system.

Music lovers will enjoy the all-new Galaxy and S-MAX Premium Sound System option that is based around an eight-channel amplifier with an overall output of 265 Watts, upgraded speaker system, including additional centre channel speakers in the centre of the dashboard and a large sub-woofer fitted behind the left front seat.

Ford’s new S-MAX and Galaxy offer a broad selection of the latest Ford power train technologies which deliver a combination of fuel efficiency and low emissions while maintaining Ford’s renowned driving enjoyment.
