External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 64% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The S-Max produces 187bhp and 148lb ft from the combined Atkinson-cycle petrol and AC synchronous electric motor. Ford has carefully rerouted the exhaust around the hybrid’s additional battery pack, so the boot space is the same as in the diesel. The ride quality is the stand-out, with the sort of controlled damping that beautifully rounds off bumps’ edges. We sadly lost Richard Parry-Jones recently, but his spirit lives on here.
Pros
  • Powerful petrol engine
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • No plug-in hybrid option
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
Ford pioneered the fun-to-drive MPV with the first S-MAX. The latest model is an even more rounded product. It drives like a plush family saloon, yet offers seven-seat practicality. It's more comfortable than the previous model and packed with enough technology to shame even some luxury saloons.
Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Good range of engines
Cons
  • Not as fun to drive as its predecessor
  • Expensive compared to rivals
