The all-new S-MAX is an exciting new addition to Ford of Europe's product portfolio, and will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2006. It shares many of the convenience, dynamic and safety features with its sister car, the new Ford Galaxy, but is a distinctly different vehicle.
The new Ford S-MAX offers 5+2 seating and distinctive styling, while the availability of a 220PS Duratec 5-cylinder turbo engine from the Focus ST, signals its sporty character. A range of new driver-focused technologies plus innovative approaches to seating, stowage and flexibility make the S-MAX one of the most exciting new Ford cars ever.
The new Ford S-MAX is the first production Ford model to include elements of Ford of Europe's 'Kinetic Design' form language. Its distinctive lines were first previewed in the Ford SAV Concept vehicle at Geneva 2005.
The front end of the new Ford S-MAX is characterised by its distinctively angled nose and dynamic headlamps which give it a purposeful appearance. Fog lamps are placed inbound and high on the front bumper, giving the vehicle a sporty look. The slim upper grille is complemented by a large inverted trapezoid below the number plate area. This is Ford signature, and adds a touch of aggression to the frontal appearance. To each side of the lower grille area, distinctive "gills" which resemble cooling ducts give the vehicle its unique identity.
The athletic side profile of the new Ford S-MAX makes it easy to see what Ford’s kinetic design is about: The fast roof line arching into the bonnet, the pronounced wheel arches with trailing-edge vents and the distinctive kick-up to the rear of the window glass area all help to indicate that this is a dynamic vehicle. An optional Panorama Roof gives occupants a view to the sky, and allows additional daylight into the vehicle interior.
