Ford S-MAX (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 19 June 2006 Last Updated: 29 July 2010 The Ford S-MAX is a people carrier with a sporty edge. It's designed to stand out from the crowd with sharp styling, tight handling and powerful engines. It certainly doesn't feel like an MPV from behind the wheel with agile handling and accurate steering. There's more to the S-MAX than just looks though - it's also very practical thanks to seven seats and a fold-flat load area. However, if you're not taken by the sports-inspired styling and need more interior space there are more conventional people carriers including Ford's own Galaxy. Both cars were designed together and share the majority of components. The S-MAX had a modest makeover in 2010 with a redesigned grille, LED rear lights, a restyled tailgate and some new engines. 4 out of 5 Other Ford reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Equipment There are three trim levels - LX, Zetec and Titanium.

A further Titanium X pack can be specified which adds full leather trim, adaptive front lighting (which moves with the steering) and a full-length glass roof. Key optional extras include heated and cooled front seats along with adaptive cruise control (which uses a radar to sense traffic ahead and maintain a specified distance). In 2010 the trim levels were changed to Zetec, Titanium X and Titanium X Sport. The Zetec has 16-inch alloy wheels, climate control, front and rear parking sensors plus sports seats. The Titanium X gets 17-inch alloys, cruise control and extra chrome trim.
