third generation Ford Galaxy is a luxury van for a large, even 7-person family. He made his debut in March 2015. At the Geneva Motor Show, and now appears in Polish showrooms Ford.
We had the opportunity to make the Galaxy the first test drive. The difference compared to the current model is significant – the new Galaxy is very luxurious, prestigious family van, which in assumptions Ford will be the flagship of the company.
The car is luxuriously equipped, finishing materials – top quality, much better than in previous models is also mute the interior. Thanks to the low threshold is very easy getting to the seats of the second and third row.
Van Galaxy is now 20 years – after he first appeared on the roads in 1995. Then he still had two siblings: SEAT Alhambra and VW Sharan. Cars differed only in details. In 2006. There is a new generation, already without twins.
The latest Galaxy has 7 separate seats and a variety of solutions to improve ride comfort and interior space to ensure easy depending on your needs. Are multicontour front seats (optional), have the function of heating, cooling as well as 11-point massage (11 seatback cushions are filled with air).
Galaxy has an adaptive steering for easy maneuvering by car in parking lots and at low speeds and ensures precise steering at high speeds (gear system automatically changes depending on speed).
The new Galaxy facilitated to supplant the seats of the second and third row – seats can tilt and move with one hand, and the third row is made and distributed them electrically – button. After placing the seats we get a huge cargo space – 2339 liters. The advantage is also flat load floor.
Another interesting feature is a speed limiter which monitors the speed limit signs and adjusts the speed of the Galaxy so that they do not exceed.
To control the settings in the new Galaxy phone, radio, air conditioning or navigation did not need to take your hands off the wheel – just the voice commands (SYNC system 2). It is worth emphasizing low noise and interior finishing materials of the highest quality.
Hands not have to use also for opening the tailgate – simply move the foot under the rear bumper and the door will open automatically. This function is especially useful when packing luggage or shopping, when most frequently both hands are busy.
And what about the new Galaxy is under the hood? Among other things, the new 2.0 TDCi diesel bi-turbo engine with 210 hp. According to the assurances Ford’s new diesel has a burn just 5.5 liters of diesel per 100 km. There is also a modernized, 2-liter TDCi diesel in three power variants: 120, 150 and 180 hp.
