S-MAX has a 5 star safety rating information of Euro NCAP, and already in the “base” at least 7 according to darling. Play in the steering rack rarely occursbefore 150 thousand km.The hub bearings are no less durable.Ground clearance is frankly small (less than 140 mm) -You can't do without motor protection.
Externally, the twin brothers really make an impression different cars. Galaxy is a classic minivan, with a high ceiling and a spacious 7-seater saloon. But its practicality and convenience are appreciated not only by exemplary family men, but also by manycompany owners: it is very easy to run into “corporate” vehicles, so it is better not to skimp on high-quality diagnostics in order to verify the veracity of the odometer readings. The S-Max is unlikely to be used for transporting personnel: both the design and the character of the minivan on the highway are among the most adventurous in its class. But appearances are deceiving. The S-Max, by and large, differs from its older brother only in the roof lowered by 69 mm and a different body plumage: with similar dimensions and curb weight, the designers managed to make the silhouette of this minivan much more rapid. True, such beauty was a bit to the detriment of the third row of seats: it was available only as an option, and there was more space due to the low roof and the lack of adjustable slidesThere are far fewer seats here. Otherwise, the cars are extremely close.
ENGINES
The choice of engines on the secondary market comes down mainly to gasoline units: in the first couple of years of production, two turbodiesels 1.8 liters (125 hp) and 2.0 liters (140 hp) were offered, but due to low demand There are relatively few such configurations on the secondary market. The engines, which are well known to us from other Ford models, are generally reliable, but traditionally do not like low-quality diesel fuel, which causes damage to expensive injectors, fuel rails, Injection pump... Choosing the most common 2-liter gasoline unit(145 hp), the chance of running into trouble is much less.
Volvo turbo engine (2.5 l, 220 hp)turned out to be quite reliable. In 2010after the restyling of the models it will be replaced2-liter EcoBoost series engines arrived(203 hp and 240 hp).
But even with it there are mistakes: the hydraulic chain tensioner does not likestarvation of oil, and the catalyst may fail due to bad gasoline(V in rare cases particles falling off it can get into the engine, damaging the parts of the cylinder-piston group). Smaller typical failures include the engine hydraulic mount dying between 100 and 150 thousand km, as well as not the most reliable ignition coils. Symptoms of the last malfunction are unstable engine operation, which is especially noticeable on Idling. The more powerful 2.3-liter engine (160 hp) is by and large reliable, although it sometimes suffers from oil leaks due to a leaky housing oil filter(the fault was eliminated on restyled models of 2010). A more powerful 5-cylinder turbo engine (2.5 l, 220 hp) was available only for the S-Max. A motor well known from Volvo cars and the charged Focus ST, gives the S-Max an enviable temperament.
which is not cheap
True, you will still have to pay attention to it, albeit on little things: in winter, due to deposits and condensation, the crankcase ventilation system often becomes clogged, which can lead to squeezing out the seals. Therefore, cleaning the system will not harm. It would also be a good idea to flush the variable valve timing system (CVVT) valve - a clogged valve may cause extraneous diesel sounds.
TRANSMISSION
Gasoline and diesel engines were equipped with 5- and 6-speed gearboxes mechanical boxes, which are quite reliable in themselves. And although the oil in them is designed for the entire service life, most experts agree that it is better to change it every 90-100 thousand km - it certainly won’t get any worse. But the dual-mass flywheel, which is equipped with manual cars, can cause trouble. You definitely won’t confuse its malfunction with anything: vibrations begin to annoy, which are accompanied by a characteristic rattling sound from the depths of the engine compartment. space. arise extraneous knocks They can be either 20 or 90 thousand km away - it depends on your driving style and the time spent in traffic jams. In principle, you can drive with this for more than tens of thousands of km, but it is better not to delay it: at one point, the flywheel springs may crumble, damaging other components. And repairs are already expensive: replacing a basket with a flywheel will cost at least 40 thousand rubles. along with work. Automatic Aisin, which until 2010 was installed on 2.3-liter gasoline engines and turbodieselswith a volume of 2 liters, perhaps, will cause less trouble, especially if the main habitat is a metropolis. At normal use and with timely oil changes (every 90–100 thousand km), the gearbox will travel more than 250 thousand km without problems.
On cars with “mechanics” it is possible toProblems with dual-mass flywheel, repairwhich is not cheap.underway - “dead” engine hydraulic mount.The suspension is generally reliable - before 100 thousand km is unlikely to disturb
SUSPENSION AND CHASSIS
The chassis of minivans, although identical, is still different: in the S-Max, the springs, shock absorbers and silent blocks are tuned in a more sporty manner, which could possibly lead to a slightly earlier failure of chassis parts. Of course, a lot depends on operating conditions: strut bearings can wear out both at 70 thousand km and at twice the higher mileage. But according to statistics, more or less serious malfunctions can be expected sooner after 100 thousand km (sometimes during this time they do not interfere with the design at all). Bushings and stabilizer struts, shock absorbers, and steering tips are unlikely to be bothered before this mileage. But closer to 150 thousand km, you may have to change the hub bearings with ball joints, and play in the steering wheel may hint at an upcoming repair of the rack.
The main cause of vibrations at idleunderway - “dead” engine hydraulic mount
BODY, ELECTRICAL AND INTERIOR
The safety of the Galaxy and S-Max fully complies with European standards (5 stars Euro NCAP), and the iron is pleased with its excellent resistance to corrosion: even in places where the paint has been worn down to metal, rust does not occur (provided that the part has not been repaired). But some wiring elements cannot withstand our winters. For example, wiring harnesses going to parking sensors canrot away. The heating wires for the injectors (few cars can boast of this option) also sometimes break, but from a break.
Years Russian exploitation The interior of minivans generally holds up well, but this does not apply to all finishing elements. Most of the plastic, unless the car has been used as a truck, retains a good appearance, but the paint can peel off fairly quickly from the erasers and buttons located on the center console. Also, due to frequent contact, the steering wheel loses its original appearance.
All Galaxy were equipped with a spacious 7-seatlarge interior, but in the S-Max there is a third row of seatswas optional and tighter
"Silver" inserts and center buttonsnew consoles wear out after a couple of years operation
pros
Excellent chassis, reliable units, corrosion-resistant metal body, spacious convertible interior, developed spare parts and service market
Minuses
Low ground clearance, possible problems with the dual-mass flywheel (for models with manual transmission), poor-quality coating of some interior parts, lack of a niche for a spare tire
After restyling (2010) Galaxy is almost has not changed, which cannot be said about the S-Max:new head optics and other body plumagemade his appearance even more aggressive
VERDICT
Galaxy is a true family car, combining the space of a minibus and a balanced character passenger car. but with a similar price, “S-Max” on the secondary market are one and a half times more, which is not at all surprising: without losing much in functionality, the S-Max has collected values that are alien to representatives of its class - a spectacular design, an exciting chassis and excellent dynamics. As time has shown, both minivans cope well with Russian conditions.

Ford S-MAX, 2008
Ford S-MAX is a wonderful car. One of the advantages is the moderate gasoline consumption of 10-11/100, and this is with fairly active driving. The dynamics are excellent. As for sound insulation, it is 5-star. The seats inside are like in a bus, the seats are comfortable (especially the lateral supports). Interior will give odds even to many new cars. As for service, spare parts are inexpensive and labor is also inexpensive. Also, as an advantage, you can write down the absence of a timing belt (it costs a CHAIN), but its service life is at least 300 thousand km (this is according to the passport), so problems with replacing the timing belt can be discarded immediately (and, accordingly, costs). IN general car super!!!

Ford S-MAX, 2009
Ford S-MAX - beautiful car, spacious. Easy handling, a woman can ride freely. Spacious trunk. Not expensive maintenance, oil change with filters - around 6 thousand. Advantages of the car: Economical, consumption of 6 liters per 100 km of diesel. I didn't notice any cons. Ford S-MAX is worth taking.
In mid-September 2014, the American Ford company held an official online presentation of the minivan S-Max new, the second generation, and already next month visitors to the Paris Auto Show were able to see the car in reality.
As a result of the reincarnation, the one-volume vehicle received a facelift, a completely redesigned interior, a number of new functions and a thoroughly redesigned technical part.
The appearance of the second generation Ford S-Max is imbued with attractiveness and charisma, and its distinctive feature is a “shark” front with an evil look of head optics and the “mouth” of a trapezoidal radiator grille “a la Aston Martin”. A bold and stately profile with a heavily sloping A-pillar and an aggressive rear with LED lights and a pair of pipes exhaust system give the appearance of the car solidity and dynamism.
The “American” single-volume truck has enough large sizes body: 4796 mm long, 1658 mm high and 1916 mm wide. Wheelbase The Ford S-Max fits into the 2849 mm gap, but ground clearance modest in size - only 128 mm.
The “inner world” of the 2nd generation minivan is significantly less striking than its appearance, although modern solutions not deprived: analog-digital “instrumentation”, multifunctional steering wheel and a visually heavy, unlaconic center console with an 8-inch “TV” and controls for “music” and “climate”.
The main advantage of the “American” is its well-organized interior. The seats of the first row are equipped with an anatomical profile and wide ranges settings, and in the back there are three separate seats with individual adjustments. An optional two-seater “gallery” is offered for the car, however, only children can sit comfortably in it.
Volume luggage compartment The 2nd generation Ford S-Max has 285 liters in a seven-seat configuration and 965 liters in a five-seat configuration. The seats in the two rear rows are electrically folded flat to the floor, increasing maximum capacity to 2,020 litres. In the underground “hold” there is a “defective” spare wheel and a repair kit.
Specifications. The “second” Ford S-Max is available with six powertrain options:
- The gasoline part includes “direct” four-cylinder engines with a 16-valve timing belt and turbocharging.
- The basic 1.5-liter unit produces 160 “horses” at 6000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1500-4500 rpm.
- Its “bigger brother” has a displacement of 2.0 liters, and its output is 240 forces at 5400 rpm and 345 Nm of thrust at 2300-4900 rpm.
The “duet” with the engines is formed by six-speed gearboxes – “mechanical” or “automatic”, delivering all the potential to the wheels of the front axle. Sprint up to 100 km/h family minivan overcomes after 8.4-9.9 seconds, accelerating to a maximum of 200-226 km/h. In mixed driving mode, the car needs an average of 6.5-7.9 liters of fuel per “hundred”, depending on the modification.
- "Solid fuel" four cylinder engine With direct injection and one turbocharger, but it is available in four boost levels. With a displacement of 2.0 liters, the diesel engine generates 120, 150, 180 or 210 horsepower at 3500 rpm in all cases and 310, 350, 400 and 450 Nm of torque, respectively. In the “junior” version, the peak potential is realized at 1750-2000 rpm, and in the rest - at 2000-2500 rpm.
Diesel units are combined with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed PowerShift preselective robot with two clutches and a front-wheel drive transmission. As an option, the single-volume truck is equipped with an “intelligent” system of connected all-wheel drive. The maximum speed of the minivan is 183-211 km/h, and the first “hundred” is exchanged in 8.8-13.4 seconds. In this case, little diesel fuel is consumed - only 5-5.8 liters in mixed mode.
Second Ford generation The S-Max is built on a front-wheel drive CD4 platform with independent suspension on both axles: McPherson struts at the front and an “integral” multi-link design at the rear. The car uses an adaptive steering mechanism with electric power steering, which changes depending on the driving speed. gear ratio, And disc brakes four wheels with a whole range of modern features - ABS with EBD, Brake Assist and ESP.
Options and prices. In the European market, the Ford S-Max 2015 model year is sold at a price of 30,150 euros for the basic configuration.
By default, the car is equipped with front and side airbags, an audio system, ABS with EBD, ESP, a dual-zone climate control system, a multifunction steering wheel, sports front seats, a start/stop system and much other equipment.
The official introduction to the second generation of the Ford S-Max minivan took place as part of Paris Motor Show in the fall of 2014. The design of the new product turned out to be quite stylish; the body lines completely repeated the idea of the S-Max Concept prototype.
New Ford S-Max 2015-2016
But Ford engineers did not limit themselves to external attractiveness and implemented a large number of modern technological solutions. Thus, the 2015-2016 model will be able to offer the future owner a choice of four diesel power units (120 hp, 150 hp, 180 hp, 210 hp) and two gasoline (160 hp). hp and 240 hp). The minivan will be optionally equipped with one of three available gearboxes: 6 manual transmissions, 6 automatic transmissions, 6 DSG PowerShift. Maximizing possibilities updated Ford S-Max, the manufacturer offers an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive all-wheel drive system as an option.
Price Ford S Max 2015-2016

Price Titanium version with 2.0-liter TDCI diesel engine, plug-in all-wheel drive system AWD drive and gearbox 6 DSG will be from 40,750 Euros. The Ford S-Max will reach Russian consumers only by the fall of 2015, and price basic configuration with minimum set options will amount to 2,000,000 rubles.
Updated Ford S-Max 2015-2016
Creating an attractive exterior design, the manufacturer followed three basic principles.
The first is the recognition of the second generation, which is ensured by the preservation of corporate lines and design proportions. The first generation of the model is quite popular, so drastic changes could only do harm.
The second is a more modern creation appearance by giving the S-Max a more sporty and exciting look.
And the third is compliance with the features inherent in the entire line of Ford models. Here the designers had to look up to the seventh generation, latest version the most popular and using the same platform Ford Mondeo MK 5. After all the research, it was presented to the public seven-seater Ford S-Max Concept, which received the most flattering reviews. Further work on the “serial” was carried out in accordance with the prototype, although some design elements were omitted.
Appearance of Ford S-Max 2015-2016
By using official photos You can get acquainted with the design of the American minivan in more detail. The front part of the body meets with a signature sculpted nose, formed by a false radiator grille recognizable in other models of the line.

But when examining the S-Max 2015-2016 from the side, it becomes clear that Ford decided to destroy the stereotypes that have accompanied minivan class models all this time. They equipped their model with compact body overhangs, a short hood, a striking stylish domed roof, massive doors with a high sill line, above which small windows are inscribed. Large models continue the sporty style wheel arches and frankly small food.

Ford S-Max minivan debuted at Geneva Motor Show in 2006 year. The machine is designed on a platform Ford models Galaxy latest generation. But at the same time, the car is designed for a younger audience, and therefore has more compact dimensions. In the basic version, the car is equipped with five seats with the possibility of transforming the interior as in Ford Galaxy. At the buyer's request, the car can be equipped with two additional seats. The Ford S-Max can carry cargo up to 1.8 meters long. The car is produced at a plant in Genk, Belgium. In 2007 the car was recognized the best car year in Europe. In 2008, the Ford S-Max took first place in European sales large minivans. The share of its sales was 27% of all cars sold. The line of power units is represented by a base 2-liter engine with a capacity of 145 horsepower and a 2-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 140 horsepower. In addition, a new 220-horsepower engine with a displacement of 2.5 liters can be installed under the hood. The same engine is used in the Ford Focus ST. The Ford S-Max comes in three trim levels: Core, Trend and Titanium.
Ford S-Max 2010 is a restyling of the popular first-generation family compact van, produced since 2006. It is positioned by the manufacturer as a car for people with an active lifestyle, shares a platform with the Ford Galaxy and is offered in 5 and 7-seater versions.

Test Drive
At the beginning of summer Russian market Two updated minivans from Ford, “S-Max” and “Galaxy,” will be released. The cars acquired new engines and robotic transmissions and were significantly “freshened up.” IN technically they remained close relatives, but in terms of consumer perception they tried to separate them as much as possible into different corners.
Transcontinental express trains (S-Max 2.5; Galaxy TDCI 2.0)
Test Drive A small jet plane stands helplessly at the passenger terminal of the airport in Seville, Spain. The squatting mechanics were gesticulating for a long time about something, from time to time looking into the bowels of the front landing gear. The problem did not seem to be solved overnight. And as confirmation of my thoughts, the inscription flashing on the board in the waiting room that the charter flight Seville Warsaw - Moscow was delayed was replaced by a categorical statement “cancelled”. It's a pity, but I was so hoping to be home today. Alas, not fate. Just throw all your things into the voluminous trunk of one of the new Ford minivans, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a squat S-Max or a more traditional Galaxy, gather a group of six fellow travelers and take it straight to Moscow. Moreover, these cars seem to be created for long, rapid travel by a large and friendly team.
