Low emissions and high performance
The all-new S-MAX will enable quiet and effortless cruising with responsive new fuel-efficient diesel or EcoBoost petrol engines.
Diesel engine CO2 engine emissions will be reduced by an anticipated seven per cent, with options including a 120 PS 2.0-litre TDCi with six-speed manual transmission and a revised 150 PS and 180 PS 2.0-litre TDCi with manual or Powershift dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Active Thermal Management System improves warm-up times to reach peak efficiency faster and reduce CO2 emissions.
Petrol engine options including Ford’s new fuel-efficient 160 PS 1.5-litre EcoBoost with manual transmission and 240 PS 2.0-litre EcoBoost with automatic transmission.
S-MAX CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency also are enhanced with Smart Regenerative Charging and Auto-Start-Stop. Underbody aerodynamic shielding and Active Grille Shutter technology have improved aerodynamic efficiency with performance optimised during 400 hours of wind tunnel testing.
Improved active and passive safety
S-MAX has been designed to help ensure you arrive at your destination not just relaxed, but also safe and sound. The body structure of the all-new S-MAX is 3 per cent stronger through the increased use of ultra-high strength steel, and offers additional active safety features that include, for the first time, second-row seat side-airbags.
Vehicle stability also is enhanced with Curve Control and Roll Stability Control systems that adjust engine torque and braking to help drivers maintain control.
MyKey technology will enable owners to programme a key – usually for younger drivers – that can inhibit incoming phone calls; restrict top speed; prevent deactivation of driver assistance and safety features; reduce audio system maximum volume, and disable the audio system altogether if occupants are not using safety belts.
