If you're in the market for a used car that's practical and designed for family adventures, then a used Ford S-MAX is a great choice. As a former European Car of the Year winner, the S-MAX meets the needs of busy families with its roomy cabin yet enjoyable driving experience. The S-MAX also includes an extensive list of standard equipment and medically-certified comfort seating.
Most recent models only come with a self-charging petrol hybrid configuration, but previously there were petrol and diesel powertrains paired with a manual or an automatic gearbox and front- or all-wheel drive.
PetrolAs an MPV, there's a huge amount of space inside the S-MAX, making it a top choice as a family vehicle.
Interior spaceThe Ford S-MAX was introduced in 2006 to fit between the compact C-MAX MPV and the larger Galaxy. With seven-passenger seating, it became an instant success with families and even went on to win several awards. Now in its second generation, Ford has continued to modernise and upgrade the S-MAX over time, even releasing a luxury Vignale version in 2015.
Ford built the second-generation S-MAX on the Mondeo platform and gave it an updated front shape with a hexagonal grille, swept-back headlights and LED daytime running lamps. A second cooling area was added to the lower bumper and a larger windscreen was fitted to the front for improved visibility. The independent suspension provided comfort for everyone in the cabin, plus improved driving dynamics. The engine lineup was revised with new EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel units.
A 2020 update brought more advanced safety technology to the S-MAX. It received a redesigned front end, with unique fog lights and a restyled upper grille. Inside the cabin, the seating was upgraded to be more comfortable and was actually certified by independent tests to be better for passengers' backs.

The S-MAX was originally introduced as a sportier alternative to the full-size Galaxy people carrier. Its original design combined curved lines with narrow, sharp edges and flared wheel arches. Faux extracting vents were placed at the front to give it a more aggressive look.
During a 2010 redesign, Ford enhanced the front grille and bumper. The company also added new LED lights and a unique rear tailgate that appealed to enthusiasts.

The diesel engines have been the most popular by far, in particular the 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel. Consumers appreciate the balance of efficiency and power that these engines offer. While there are some petrol or self-charging hybrid engines on the used market, they are more difficult to find.
New S-MAX models are found in three trims: Titanium, ST-Line and Vignale. The Titanium trim is the most popular to buy as a used car due to its lower price and standard cruise control.
Customers should look out for the various types of wheel designs that make the S-MAX appear more stylish. The vehicle can also be equipped with sleek silver roof rails and adaptive LED headlights. Customers should also look out for models with a premium sound system for enhanced music clarity.
Yes, with seating available for seven people, the S-MAX has proven to be a great choice of vehicle for families. The seating can be altered, allowing for more boot space if cargo needs to be loaded. Used models can also be found at reasonable prices, helping families to stick to a budget.
Yes, with the newest lineup, Ford offers a self-charging hybrid configuration of the S-MAX. This is designed to increase fuel efficiency and offer a smooth driving experience.
Ford has offered both manual and automatic gearboxes with the S-MAX models. With used models, the manual gearbox is more popular, but it's not hard to find the automatic variants, though they may cost a bit more to buy.
Ford did offer all-wheel drive on select S-MAX models, although they are rarer on the used market. However, the majority of the MPVs came equipped with front-wheel drive, which is what most vehicles in this segment have.
