The 2010 S-MAX and Galaxy models kick off an exciting year for new product introductions from Ford of Europe.
"We've given both models a fresh new look and more premium appeal, but
it is beneath the skin that the major changes have been made," said
John Fleming, Executive Vice President and Chairman & CEO, Ford of
Europe. "S-MAX and Galaxy are the first European Ford models to benefit
from our global EcoBoost family of direct-injection, turbocharged,
petrol engines delivering more power and performance from a lower
displacement powerplant, yet with impressive fuel economy and low CO2
emissions. And that is just the start of the 2010 S-MAX and Galaxy
story."
These are the first cars to be available with Ford's all-new, high
efficiency, 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. Producing 203PS it joins
a significantly improved 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel, with 140PS,
plus a new 163PS variant. Additionally, the Ford PowerShift double
wet-clutch transmission system is available for the first time on
Ford's large car range; it will be standard equipment with the EcoBoost
petrol engine and optional with both Duratorq diesels.
A range of innovative new safety and convenience features debut on
versions of the new S-MAX and Galaxy, including a Blind Spot
Information System. |
