Why buy a used Ford S-Max?

The Ford S-Max is the second-largest MPV in the brand's range behind the Galaxy. Step inside, however, and you'll be wondering where you're missing out as the S-Max still has a vast, comfortable cabin with enough space for adults in all three rows. The roof is a little more curved than the Galaxy, which means the boot space figure isn't quite as generous, but most families will struggle to max-out the S-Max. Diesel and hybrid engine options mean running costs should be manageable.

Popular Ford S-Max trims for sale at Motorpoint

Zetec trim gets alloy wheels, air conditioning, parking sensors and a heated windscreen, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Titanium includes LED daytime running lights, silver roof rails, tinted rear windows and seat-back table trays.

ST-Line gains meaner-looking exterior styling details and larger alloy wheels to help it stand out. It also adds part-leather upholstery, heated front seats and sports suspension.

Vignale is the luxury trim with 19-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera and premium leather upholstery.

Owning a used Ford S-Max

The S-Max is a large MPV so practicality is its main objective. Thankfully, it delivers with vast amounts of passenger space in the front two rows, and the option to squeeze two smaller passengers into the third row. Boot space is fantastic – more than enough room for the weekly shop with all seven seats in place, and nearly enough to rival some smaller vans with the rear seats folded. Its cabin will be more than a match for the rigours of life with a large family and the dashboard layout is easy to get familiar with.

Other models you may be interested in

Cross shop the S-Max against cars like the Volkswagen Touran and Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer. There are also larger MPVs like the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, which mainly offer a bit more boot space.

Ford S-Max FAQs

There’s just one version of the Ford S-Max and it’s a large five-door MPV with a hatchback boot lid. If you’re after something a little more compact, check out the Ford Kuga SUV or Ford Focus hatchback.

If you’re looking at nearly new S-Max cars, you’re most likely to see post-facelift models, which began arriving in 2020 and have slightly updated interior and exterior styling. The easiest way to tell the two apart is to look at the front grille – this is smaller on pre-2020 cars, while 2020-onwards cars have a restyled grille that overlaps the number plate.

The S-Max is slightly less than 4.8 metres long. That makes it one of the biggest cars in its class with the Volkswagen Touran and Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer coming in a few millimetres shorter. The S-Max’s sister model, the Ford Galaxy, comes in just a touch longer.

Room in the S-Max isn’t a problem, with lots of space in the first and second rows and 285 litres of boot space, even with all seven seats in place. Legroom is hard to come by for taller people in the third row, so these spots are best suited to children.

Most S-Max cars on the nearly new market are powered by the 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine. This is a great all-round choice with comfortable long-range driving ability and enough torque to move the S-Max without feeling underpowered. The hybrid is a great choice if you cover a mix of urban and longer-range driving.

No, the Ford S-Max is available with petrol, diesel and hybrid engine options. Most models sold at Motorpoint come with diesel engines as these are the most popular with UK buyers.

With handsome styling, a long kit list and a frugal selection of engines, the Ford S-Max has found a lot of fans since it went on sale back in 2006. It’s a large car so it can be a hassle to park in the city, but it's excellent for family life and travelling.

Yes, the Ford S-Max has scored decently in terms of reliability throughout the years. Most of the parts and engines are shared with other Ford models, making replacements easy to find.

You can add an extended warranty to your S-Max for greater peace of mind. This will protect you in the event of an unexpected mechanical or electrical failure.

If being soaked in UV rays is your thing, the Ford S-Max can be equipped with an optional panoramic sunroof.
