Maximum luggage capacity of Ford S Max is an impressive 2,000 litres (all rear seats down, loaded to roof). With all rear seats folded flat, the load floor offers a space 2m deep and 1,15m wide - comparable to a comfortable bed.

Sliding load floor for easy cargo loading: In lieu of the third seat row, customers can specify an optional sliding cargo platform on the new Ford S MAX. This convenience feature allows the loading of shopping goods or travel bags with ease. With the tailgate open, the platform can be pulled out by 48 cm. It then slides back into the vehicle with a drawer-type motion once loading has finished.

The cargo platform is engineered solidly and is even robust enough to sit on for a picnic.


Stowage for life's necessities: Another key Ford S MAX ingredient is interior stowage. Research suggested that the typical customer stores around 20 different items in a vehicle, such as CDs, keys, sunglasses or sweets.

Ford S MAX provides ample and sensibly-proportioned space with 26 different stowage compartments.

Ford not only wanted to meet basic expectations for stowage. Its target was to provide added functionality and high-quality execution. In total, Ford S MAX's stowage capacity adds up to a possible 90 litres of volume.

For added space, the front door pockets cover the doors' full length and are able to hold 1.5-litre drinks bottles. The 14-litre glove box can also accommodate a drinks bottle, where it is not only kept firm and rattle-free but will also be kept cool by the air conditioning system's stream of cold air (available only for left-hand drive vehicles).

Drawers under the driver's and front passenger's seats complement the stowage offered by new Ford S-MAX.

Compartments integrated in the floor behind the front seats help customers keep valuables out of sight. Magazines, pocket books and road maps are best stored in the front seatbacks' rear pockets, while integrated fold-away tables prove useful for second-row passengers.


Ford S MAX Activity Kit for extra flexibility: An available activity kit has been designed exclusively for Ford S-MAX by Ford's Customer Service Division.

This gives customers an excellent tool to cater for more specialised stowage needs. It is a bar system that attaches to the rear of the second row and the flat load floor. Aluminium bars are bolted directly to the seat back. Brackets, which slide in and are then locked in place, can be arranged to accommodate many different items. With the S-MAX Activity Kit, for example, the vehicle user can safely and securely put up to four bicycles in the rear storage area. 

Bicycle Front Wheel Carrier - Customers who prefer to remove the front wheels of their bikes will have a spare wheel carrier available, offering maximum versatility with an adjustable carrying angle. The system can quickly and easily adapt to any kind of bike fork, including cycles fitted with disc brakes. Adjustable quick release straps are also available for all wheel sizes and lockable to both the bar and to the bikes.

Ski and Snowboard carrier - Ski and snowboard carrier mounts are available for inside the vehicle, adding further protection and security for these expensive pieces of winter sports gear.
