Ford S-Max overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the S-Max receives targeted updates to keep its appearance fresh. The front fascia now features an enlarged chrome grille and a revised bumper with expanded fog light surrounds. For those seeking a sportier look, the ST-Line trim equips the minivan with an aggressive front bumper, enhanced side skirts, and distinct rear styling elements. These changes maintain the signature sleek profile of the S-Max while giving it a slightly more assertive road presence compared to previous iterations.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the most notable update is the transition to a rotary dial gear selector for automatic models, which frees up center console space. The dashboard is anchored by an eight-inch Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment system, with dedicated physical climate controls logically arranged below. The instrument cluster thoughtfully integrates digital displays within the analog tachometer housing. The second row features three individual seats that fold independently, offering excellent flexibility for managing passengers and cargo.
Performance
The powertrain lineup includes a robust 2.0-liter EcoBlue diesel engine, available in 190-horsepower and 240-horsepower bi-turbo variants. These are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the 190-hp version can be equipped with an all-wheel-drive system. Additionally, Ford offers a 2.5-liter hybrid (HEV) powertrain producing a combined 190 horsepower, utilizing a continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and a compact liquid-cooled battery pack to deliver efficient urban commuting.
Practicality
Designed with family hauling in mind, the S-Max provides substantial cargo capacity. Behind the second row, the trunk offers up to 965 liters of space when loaded to the roof. Folding the second row flat expands this to a cavernous 2020 liters. An optional third-row seating arrangement is available with a 50:50 split-folding capability. Even with the third row in place, there is still 185 liters of storage space available behind the rearmost seats up to the cargo cover.
Safety and tech
The 2019 S-Max is equipped with a comprehensive suite of modern driver assistance systems. Key safety features include adaptive cruise control with a Stop&Go function for heavy traffic, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The vehicle also benefits from traffic sign recognition and a rear cross-traffic alert system, providing drivers with enhanced situational awareness and peace of mind during daily commutes and long journeys alike.
Buyer notes
When comparing trims, buyers should consider whether they prioritize the sporty styling of the ST-Line or the high-end finishes of the Vignale. The choice of powertrain is also crucial; the diesel options are excellent for long-distance highway driving, particularly the AWD model for varied weather conditions, while the HEV hybrid is ideal for maximizing efficiency in mixed and urban driving.
