Very good review. I've to say now using Ford Galaxy for 7th year with more than 340.000 km's it is doing well. Very good car, much space and very good 2.0 diesel engine.

Regarding the central knob on the console/stereo, they are the same on the S-Max and Galaxy but you can upgrade to a premium sound system on both. The one with the single "wheel" in the center is the upgraded version.

Great review, nice and unhurried, many thanks!

Will a childs seat fit on the backseat of the S-max? And will 3 childs seats fit easily on the second row in the S-max?

Hi folks. Can you please tell me how does automatic trans holding up? I am interested in Galaxy,bu a bit sceptic since I have red many negatives,failures... But would love to get auto... Also,is new gen better from previous? Any comments much appreciated. Cheers!

Appreciated your review. I went straigt to a Ford dealer and did a comparison for myself. I found out that the difference between S-Max are more in the detail. So in the Galaxy the panoramic sunroof opens up, while in the S-Max it is fixed. The Galaxy you can move the seats in the 3rd back and forth and the S-max it not possible. Even I really enjoyed your Video, one thing I never really get is that you compare Galaxy and Sharan in the same price class. It turned out the Sharan with same options takes 30% more budget!

+Matches Gall thanks for the interesting feedback! The price difference may differ from market to market of course and sometimes indeed, it is really strange that there are huge differences :) For 30 % less, the Galaxy is surely the better pick then!

Very nice, *BUT* no information on exact structure of suspension - is it struts, is it leaf springs, is it multi-link swingarm? The s-max benefits from multi-link and therefore drives more confident in the corners, how about the Galaxy?

Is it too loud at highway speeds? 130ish kmph?

Which 2.0L model is the cheapest out of the 2?

Looks practical! I am staying in Japan at the moment, and for some fieldwork we rented huge Honda people carriers which are not available in the Europe I think. On flaw was that the middle rear seat could crush the knees of the people in the third row.

thank you for this review, Thomas! I understand that your being German makes you think about VW sharan all the time. however, how does Galaxy compare to Espace, 5008 or mazda 5? when I got my galaxy I was hesitating between SantaFe, 2nd hand R-classe and chose galaxy due to its good reviews, safety, consumption and reliability. btw, what's intriguing is that multivan buyers consider the new Ford transit but it's not the case for galaxy/smax who don't usually consider VW competitors but rather find it hard to choose between the two ford options. finally Renault espace marketing targets these buyers, so I'd like to know your opinion about these. Renault Espace or Ford Smax or Ford Galaxy?

+Ikea Uppsala The Galaxy offers more space than the Espace imho, the Espace is now more about design. The Galaxy is more expensive than the S-MAX but again offers more space. If I needed a lot of space for my family, I would go with the Sharan, Alhambra or Galaxy

Hi Thomas, thanks for another fantasticly detailed and entertaining review! I drove the S-Max titanium for 7 months, drove the previous Galaxy titanium and now have the Edge Titanium. My favorite is the S-Max: extremely practical, very good looking on the exteriour (depending on the right colours - I would recommend darked paints), very good handling/driving for such a big car and still relative economical. Compared to competitors (Volkswagen/Renault), I would never doubt. I do agree with your feedback: mixed feelings about interiour: some good, some not so, however in daily use, you quickly forget and the use is very good. Sync 3 now makes this a very good car. Personally don't see the benefit of more headroom in the Galaxy, even for a tall person like me (1m89). The impact on the driving experience of the additional height is not worth it for me. Anyway thanks and keep up the good work!!

I chose the S-MAX over the Galaxy primarily because of the improved fuel economy figures (UK 1.5 Ecoboost Petrol Engine), and the fact that there was enough space in the S-MAX

Nice to see that Ford isn't placing the biggest rims unter the cars for the media presentation. Just presentate the cars as they will avarage be on the road. the inside of the doors really looks good from design perspective. Also the seats really look comfy. I have driven with the last generation of the Galaxy. That car is so sporty for its size. Really a joy to drive. The one thing that wonders me with this generation is that it really looks like the leg room in the back is minimal for adults. I expected really more space. Thanks for the great review again.

+skycrap Thanks! Leg room was very good imho, especially in the Galaxy - thats the advantage towards the S-Max

Hi, an important test or feature for me is to know how far backwards (in reclining position) the second row seats go. I just looked at the Kia Sorrento and Hyundai Santa Fe after watching your videos and discovered that the reclining position on those seats are insufficient. Reclining position is important for keeping tired children comfortable on long journeys- my last car had fold flat seats and second row fully reclined. Though full recline of 180degrees is not necessary, a good recline is. Thanks if you can include this test on all future videos.

Fact is, young kids will fall asleep in the car and it is dangerous for their neck to dangle, for the body to thrust forward over every bump, to slump. Safer I think to be leaned back a bit where this is not an issue. Also good whilst waiting for someone to emerge from an appointment, from paying for petrol, for a sibling after the big game etc.

The Galaxy/Sharan satisfy a slightly different market need to the S-Max/Touran. If you a family of more than 5 it is likely that there will be children of less than 6 feet. A vehicle of the Galaxy/Sharan size is not needed. For 6 or 7 full size adults, the Touran is a non starter. Indeed for 7 full size males, something the size of a Caravelle/ Hyundai i800 is better still. These can take the weight and 7 full size cases easily. The Transporter is after all the same legend as the Sharan/Galaxy and only 4cm wider.

Alhambra and Sharan are basically the same cars. Galaxy not anymore, they used to build it together, but not this generation. The interior build quality of the Volkswagen group is better, however the Ford vehicles usually have good driving and suspension. I d also check which concise offer you get at the dealer's

For tall people like me (1.96 m), The Galaxy is the better choice of the two, simply because the Galaxy offers notably more head space than the S-max. This is because the front row seats can be lowered more in the Galaxy than in the S-max. In the S-Max I would have to recline the drivers seat to relax mode in order to be able to drive the car normally (as with a lot of cars by the way). ;-)

Ford or VW, depends upon which brand you prefer. Call me old fashioned but I’d go for the one which hasn’t tried to poison the world and doesn’t gas monkeys to death.

I think Seat Alhambra is better especially at level of space

It's the deepness of the dash that is the offence here. The rake of the front windscreen and the angle of the top surface of that massive dash creates this condition. Plain and simple, this is just poor design.
