The handling makes it more attractive

Driving a big vehicle is not an easy thing to do. But the mechanics make it seem much smaller when you get behind the wheel. Another important feature is that there is a very less body roll present as it is expected from this category. The choice of AWD gives more grips to the tires.

Comfort level is increased and the fun part has decreased to give a more stable ride for the families. The suspension works well to keep the movement of S-Max in control and keep the cabin peaceful. It soaks up bumps and sudden surface disturbances. Cabin is also kept noiseless and simple. Ford engines supply and fitting service give an edge to the convenience factor.

Cabin features

The interior is kept practical and does not interfere in the freedom of occupants; this also makes the cabin more reliable. There are no sliding doors but the car like openings make it look like one which is intended by the carmaker. Seating remains good till the second row but the third one cramps things up especially for the headroom.

There is a load of head and legroom for the first two rows. Storage space is great facilitating the passengers to get rid of hand carries and be relaxed. Boot space is 285 litres when all the three rows in place. Fold the third row and it becomes more, folds the second row and its further increase.
