Ford S-MAX
Encyclopedia : F : FO : FOR : Ford S-MAX
The Ford S-MAX is a large MPV from the Ford Motor Company in Europe. Introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the S-MAX goes on sale alongside the redesigned Galaxy in June 2006. It is intended as a sporty alternative to the traditional MPV, and slots between the large MPV Galaxy and compact MPV Focus C-MAX.
The S-MAX is the first vehicle to feature Ford's "Kinetic design" styling. A replacement for the New Edge design started in the late 1990s, kinetic design debuted with the Ford SAV concept at the 2005 Geneva show and which the S-Max is based on. It includes angular headlights, a narrow grille, and large trapezoidal "mouth" below the bumper.
One major selling point of the S-MAX is its "FoldFlatSystem". This design allows the third-row seats to fold flat into the floor. The small third row leads Ford to classify the vehicle as a "5+2", meaning that the rear seats are only for occasional use, and are a no cost delete option, replaced with a sliding cargo tray.
