Ford S-Max MPV 2.0 Edge 5dr

For Performance from this engine is decent, and it costs less to buy than the equivalent diesel choice. Edge trim makes it even cheaper.

Against High running costs, so what you don't pay to buy it, you'll pay to run it. Edge trim misses kit like alloy wheels, too.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

The 2.0-litre petrol provides decent performance, but running costs are high, so you'll be better off in the long run by paying extra for the 2.0 diesel.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The S-Max's appeal lies in the fact that it's a big, practical MPV that feels more like a hatchback when you're behind the wheel. It's great fun to drive, yet also as refined and comfy as a family car should be.

The 2.0-litre Ecoboost SCTi petrol engine is exceptionally strong and smooth, but most buyers will go for one of the more frugal 2.0-litre diesels, which are impressively quiet and flexible.

The S-Max's biggest weakness is its pricing, which is steep compared with most rivals'. Big discounts are available on the list price, however. The S-Max is cheaper than the Galaxy, which shares most parts under the skin. The Galaxy's higher roof and slightly raised rear-most seats make it the more practical of the pair, however.
