Ford S-Max 2010–2015 car dimensions: 4772 mm long, 1884 mm wide and 1660 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,605 kg. Braked towing is 1,800 kg.
Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard. Front and rear parking sensors come as standard on most grades. Cruise control is standard on higher trims like Titanium and available as an option lower down. A colour touchscreen with navigation is a costly option that can include a reversing camera. Blind spot information system is an option, as is lane departure warning with driver alert in assistance packs. Adaptive cruise control with forward alert and collision mitigation braking is also optional on selected grades.
Boot space is 285 litres with all seven seats in place. Fold the rear seats flat and capacity rises to 854 litres to seat-back height or up to 2100 litres to the roof with seats fully down.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1800 kg on most diesel engines and up to 2000 kg on some higher-output versions, with unbraked limited to 750 kg. Payload sits between 729 kg and 817 kg depending on engine and transmission. The flexible fold-flat seating and large load length make it practical for family duties or light commercial use.
The cabin feels more car-like than a typical MPV, with supportive sports-style front seats that offer good adjustment and optional 8-way power plus heating or climate control on higher grades. Dual-zone climate keeps front occupants comfortable, while the fold-flat second and third rows create a flexible, spacious interior with plenty of stowage. An optional full-length panoramic roof with power sunblinds floods the space with light for an open feel on longer trips.
