Space, Comfort, Convenience

Getting in and out of the new Ford Galaxy is even easier as the door opening angle is a wide 65 degrees. A low step height and a generous entrance height of 832mm provide further accessibility assistance.

Once in the car, the driver will enjoy generous space. Legroom (1,088mm), shoulder room (1,531mm), headroom (1,056mm), and side view head clearance have all been increased significantly to top-class levels. Compared with the S-MAX, the windscreen is larger and positioned more vertically, which increases the front view.

Inside, the atmosphere is open and light. The large windscreen is complemented by substantial side windows and rear tailgate screen. These can be combined with the large panorama glass roof option to further enhance the interior ambience.

Panorama Roof and Overhead Console - The optional panorama roof is a single piece of glass externally, but inside the vehicle is effectively separated into four sections - two over the front seats, and two over the rear seats, with the overhead centre console running along the centreline of the roof panel from front to rear.

The new full-length overhead console includes a child watch mirror and up to five stowage boxes, allowing kids to stow toys. The integrated child watch mirror allows the driver to keep an eye on his rear passengers without the need to turn around. Its convex shape allows both the driver and front seat passenger to view all rear passengers, even the one behind the driver - clearly a major safety benefit.

Short and medium length overhead consoles can also be specified, depending on model series.


Room for Luggage plus 31 Stowage Solutions

Families will enjoy the vast amount of stowage offered by new Ford Galaxy. Ford Galaxy's luggage capacity expands from a minimum of 308 litres (with the third seat row in its rearmost position) up to 2325 litres (filled to the roof) with all rear seats folded flat. Even with all of the rear seats in use, new Ford Galaxy still offers up to 435 litres of luggage space (to the seatback) when the third seat row is in its forwardmost position. With all rear seats folded down its flat load floor stretches 2m in length by 1.15m in width.

That makes new Ford Galaxy ready to take anything from grocery bags to large and bulky items from DIY stores. For example, four standard-size refrigerators could easily be loaded.

Ford Galaxy offers up to 31 different stowage compartments, with a total capacity of up to 110 litres. These provide clever and safe room for everyday items like maps, keys, sunglasses, CDs, cassettes, bottles and cans.

Overhead consoles can be specified in short, medium or full length versions depending on model series. In full length form, the console stretches along the ceiling from the windscreen to second row. Up to five compartments with a total volume of 20 litres provide safe and easily accessible stowage for various personal items.

Front door bins extend across the entire length of the doors. They can accommodate necessities like maps, ice scrapers and paper tissues, even big, 1.5-litre drink bottles.

Useful especially in summer is the glove box, which offers an optional cooling feature on left-hand-drive models. Cool air from the air-conditioning system keeps a water bottle cool, snug and rattle-free in the glove box, ready for a refreshing rest stop.

Large drawers underneath the front seats complement Ford Galaxy's stowage offerings.
