About the Ford S-Max Mk1
The first-generation Ford S-Max redefined the MPV segment by proving that a seven-seater could actually be engaging to drive. Sharing its platform with the Mondeo, it offered a lower roofline and sharper handling than its sibling, the Galaxy, earning it the 2007 European Car of the Year title. The 2.0 TDCi was the heart of the range, providing a balance of mid-range torque and fuel efficiency that suited its role as a long-distance cruiser. While many MPVs of the era felt cumbersome, the S-Max's 'Kinetic Design' and precise steering made it a favourite for enthusiasts with growing families.

Ford S-Max Mk1 fun facts
- The S-Max was the first production Ford to feature the brand's 'Kinetic Design' styling language, characterized by its bold wheel arches and trapezoidal grilles.
- Despite its sporty pretensions, it retained the 'Fold Flat System' (FFS), allowing all five rear seats to be folded into the floor without removal.
- It was so well-regarded dynamically that Ford even offered it with the 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo engine from the Focus ST.
