Positive and responsive handling gives you the kind of control you would expect from a sports coupe, while progressive styling and muscular good looks set it apart from other people carriers. The spacious, versatile interior means you can take six friends off for the day, or take your family away with enough equipment to fill an entire weekend – or why not just enjoy some space for yourself? The decision is yours.

Ford S-Max 2010
Ford have been having a play with the Galaxy and the S-Max, and have revealed a facelift for 2010 but, more importantly, the Ecoboost engines.
Ford S-Max 2010
The new Ecoboost engine does that great trick of offering more power for less emissions and decent economy. The new 2,0 litre model – badged up as the STCi – manages to deliver 200bhp and 221lb/ft of torque which gives a 0-60mph of not a lot over 8 seconds, an improvement of around 2.0 seconds on the outgoing 2.3 litre. It also manages to cut C02 emissions by 19% and manages 34.8mpg.

But it’s not just the petrol engine option that gets a work over; the diesels do too. The 2.0 litre comes in three versions – 113bhp, 118bhp and 161bhp – offering CO2 emissions as low as 152g/km and economy of 49.5 mpg. Good figures. Ford’s Powershift dual-clutch gearbox is standard on the 2.0 litre petrol and an option on the diesels.

But Ford haven’t stopped with the oily bits, they’ve also had a play all round for 2010. The interior now gets Ford’s clever Fold Flat System for the back two rows of seats improve load carrying. There are new colours and trim and the facia gets a redesign.
Outside there are LED tail-lights, with LED running lights at the front on top-end S-Max models. The bonnet and grills gets a tweak, and the Galaxy also gets new roof rails and fogs. The tailgate on the S-Max also gets a reshape. There are also some new toys, including a rear camera and blind-spot monitor.
