Ford S-Max 2015–2019 car dimensions: 4796 mm long, 1916 mm wide and 1655 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,645 kg. Braked towing is 2,000 kg.
The cabin seats seven in a flexible 2-3-2 layout with Easy-Fold seats that drop flat. An 8-inch touchscreen runs SYNC 3 with voice control, DAB, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Dual-zone climate control keeps front and rear comfortable, with optional tri-zone. Cruise control is standard, while Pre-Collision Assist with pedestrian detection provides automatic emergency braking across the range. Front and rear parking sensors come standard. Lane-keeping aid with departure warning and traffic sign recognition appear on Titanium and above. Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic alert and a reversing camera are trim or pack options, standard only on Vignale.
Boot space measures 285 litres with all seven seats up and laden to the roof, expanding to around 700-965 litres in five-seat mode and 2020 litres with the second and third rows folded flat into the floor for a level load bay.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1800-2000 kg depending on engine and transmission, with unbraked limited to 750 kg and a 90 kg nose weight. Trailer stability control and hill-start assist are standard. Payload sits around 800 kg based on typical kerb and gross weights. The flexible seating and flat load floor suit family or light work use, though no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is listed.
The cabin feels open and airy with soft-touch materials, accent stitching and plenty of storage bins. Front multi-contour seats on higher grades offer power adjustment, heating, cooling and massage via air cushions to ease long trips. Dual-zone climate control includes rear passenger controls. An optional full-length panoramic roof adds light, while sound-deadening and laminated glass on top trims keep it quiet.

Diesel engines form the bulk of the range and deliver solid real-world economy for a large seven-seater. Petrol options exist but return higher consumption. Official combined figures vary by engine and transmission but support long-distance use without frequent stops.
Routine servicing falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. Brake fluid needs renewal every two years. Timing belt replacement is scheduled at high mileage or ten years. A dense dealer network makes booking straightforward.
Safety kit is comprehensive from launch. The structure uses high-strength steel. Standard features cover multiple airbags across rows, electronic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring and autonomous emergency braking. Higher packs add blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise.
Keeping the car means watching for heavy front tyre wear on this large MPV and staying on top of the service schedule to protect the warranty. Flexible seating and easy-fold mechanisms make daily family use simple, while the quiet cabin and supportive seats suit longer ownership.
