The minivan "Ford": a brief review of the novelty

Minivans are confidently winning a segment in the car market from sedans and crossovers. A practical family car with good roadability and a high level of comfort becomes an ideal vehicle for traveling a large family. The German company, sensitively catching the market trends and the needs of customers, released a minivan "Ford".

The model range of Ford minivans is quite extensive. The developers tried to create a car for the average family, and for a large number of people (for example, a car for 7 seats). Unlike the American analogues, the German minivan "Ford" attracts not only its technical equipment, but also more affordable value. And in terms of efficiency of powertrains Ford engines have bypassed the Japanese and American.

New minivan "Ford S-Max "

The pedigree of this model began in 2006. Created S-Max as a sports minivan, and all the thoughts of the developers were reduced to improving the dynamic characteristics. Over time, having undergone several upgrades, the minivan "Ford" has acquired a design in the style of modern luxury, without losing its sporty posture.

In changing the internal design and technical stuffing, the prerogatives of Europeans, who make a choice in favor of more complete machines, played a big role. For European motorists, the main thing in a car is comfort and space. Therefore, the new S-Max acquired a luxuriously finished interior. At the same time, the traditional rear minivan can be folded and removed to the floor, thus providing additional space.

Technical specifications of Ford S-Max

In terms of technical stuffing minivan "Ford" of the latest generation is ready to argue with any premium model. In its arsenal are five power units, four of which "feed" with gasoline, and one - on heavy fuel. A two-liter diesel, bridling 140 "horses", will be equipped with a mechanical or automatic six-speed box.

The weakest of the gasoline line - a two-liter 160-strong engine, completed with an automatic transmission. However, it is the "automatic machine" that consumes the lion's share of power, and in this connection the acceleration of the minivan with this engine takes place for 0.3 seconds. Slower than with a weaker 145-strong engine.
New in the line of power units is a two-liter turbocharged engine with a potential of 240 "horses". Such capacities are not peculiar to minivans, but the developers decided to allocate S-Max among such machines. The combination of a revolving engine with a perfectly tuned suspension and steering allows the Ford to stay on track.

The manufacturer draws attention to the fact that, regardless of the type of engine, the minivan "Ford", the price of which is slightly more than a million rubles, has the highest rates of economy. In general, the Ford S-Max is one of the most practical, economical and affordable cars. The only thing that this model lacks is the full drive. In Russia, such a modification would certainly be very popular.

The developers are sure that they managed to create a car that not only fully meets the strict safety requirements, but also has excellent dynamic characteristics, stylish design and a high level of comfort. Minivan Ford is a truly practical and convenient family car.

In general, if you need a good car for the whole family, then you should choose a "Ford" minivan, the price of which will pleasantly surprise you.
