Whileimpressed by the striking styling, Top Gear judges also centered the performance of the engines and sporty drive of the S-MAX as deciding factors in the award, “The S-MAX appearance isn’t just a case of smoke and mirrors, there’s substance below that sleekly slanted bonnet,” they commented.
“Witness the arrival of the S-MAX, an MPV via the stealth route: a futuristic wedge of sports-flavoured family car that, in short provides a welcome refuge for all those who risk feeling emasculated by MPV ownership. The S-MAX is the fresher, edgier, more complex proposition; a winner, sitting in a class all of its own.”
With UK sales of over 4,000 since its launch in June and with the order bank still growing, S-MAX is proving a huge hit with UK customers. Available in LX, Zetec and Titanium variants, S-MAX shares the latest technology with the all-new Ford Galaxy. Prices start at £16,995 for the petrol 2.0-litre LX model to £21,995 for the sporty 2.5-litre petrol Titanium.
