Ford Galaxy dimensions

The Ford Galaxy looks like a large vehicle from the outside, but has a consistent exterior with the smaller, Ford Focus-based C-MAX and sporty S-MAX. Its front is as sleek as Ford's other multi-purpose cars (mpvs) and its back lights give a nod to the Mondeo saloon. It looks as though the Ford Galaxy will be tremendous inside, with its boxy back three-quarters maximising dashboard space.

The amount of cargo room in the cab impresses. A row of cubbyholes running along the centre of the roof offer front and second row bench passengers access to oddments, while on the Ghia model, these stretch almost the full length of the vehicle. There's more cargo on top of the dashboard , in the centre control panel and doors and even in the passenger-side armrest on the third row of seatings. The Ford Galaxy's seatings fold into the floor although not completely flat like the Vauxhall Zafira. Boot room grows from 367 to 2095, litres depending on the number of seatings folded.

There are three models in the Ford Galaxy range: Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X. All models get alloy wheels, parking sensors front and back and a heated front display as well as Bluetooth with voice control. conditioning, electric windows all round and electric adjustment for the driver's bench height are also included. However, you have to specify Titanium trim to get automatic lights and wipers, USB connectivity, a DAB radio and sports seatings, as well as cruise control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and extra cargo spaces. The range-topping Titanium X adds leather trim, a panoramic roof and xenon headlights along with wood trim inserts for the cab.
