The customer becomes at once more finicky, and to meet the expectations of car manufacturers must with equal force to work on the development of all models in the range. Minivan can no longer just be a boring car serving only to carry the family from point A to point B. We checked therefore what is available on the Ford Galaxy.
At the beginning tell you that this car really surprised me and It made me feel phenomenal. Frankly, I was convinced that I can not find anything in it thrilling. Fortunately, the reality was quite different.
The new Galaxy is even more comfortable, quiet and bigger than before. For our drive copy corresponds to the 2-liter TDCi 180 hp. This power can if necessary be transferred to all four wheels via a 6-speed PowerShift automatic transmission, which is characterized by unusually velvety work. It only enhances the feeling of comfort. 180 hp and 400 Nm provide sufficient performance. About 10 seconds to 100 km / h and a top speed exceeding lightly 200 km / h completely satisfy every head of the family. For a little more demanding on offer there is also a twin-turbo diesel with 210 hp.
what surprised me very positively in the Ford Galaxy is their conduct and appetite for fuel. The driver absolutely do not feel that driving the car the size of a bus. Cornering a pleasure, there is no question of any moments of uncertainty. With the help comes too brilliant adaptive suspension, which, depending on the needs provides maximum comfort, and wyklikaniu the right combination of joystick on the steering wheel (yes, finding suspension settings takes some time) that makes our Galaxy begins to resemble the Focus, which even swallow sharp turns.
2.0 TDCi engine will provide us with infrequent visits to gas stations. Especially if you choose a model with a drive only on the front axle. The route to achieve combustion of less than 6 liters will not be a problem for anyone. Of course, in normal driving. On one refueling we will be able to overcome peacefully over 1,000 kilometers. Coming from a constant speed of 180 km / h, with a board of 4 people and their luggage, computer showed me that the average fuel consumption is 10.1 l / 100 km. It is true that a great result?

Inside we find the mass of gadgets and features umilających our journey. Our copy is equipped with, inter alia, 3-zone air-conditioning, electrically adjustable seats and steering wheel with memory and heating functions, a set of cameras 360, half-leather upholstery, parking assistant, 230V socket, and a panoramic sunroof. The boot floor there was room for two additional seats, which disassembly and reassembly is done using buttons. I would advise adults to travel, however, one of the remaining 5 seats. These two places in the trunk rather serve the function of an emergency. On the other hand, nothing bad can be said about 5 standard locations. Each of the seats can be individually moved and change the angle of the backrest. They provide great comfort. They are almost ideal for longer trips.
At 7 people on board still we have 300 liters of luggage space. Tucked away all the backs get a flat floor and a capacity of up to 2,339 liters. The quality of finish is very high. Plastics are pleasing to the touch and does not creak under the pressure of your fingers.
Everything seems to be beautiful, if not for one” but. ” I mean the price. Pricing Galaxy starts at 119,000 dollars. But when doposażymy it in the right engine and all the above mentioned facilities, the price goes up dramatically. Even twice. Yes, we tested specimen is priced at … 224.900 zlotys. For that amount we could easily buy a well-equipped Ford Mustang with an 8-cylinder engine, or the Focus RS. Of course, comparing them with the functionality of the Galaxy is totally out of place, but I wanted to show you how much for the functionality you need to pay. Anyway, if you’re looking for an interesting vehicle for a large family, if you want that the driver also drew fun to drive and you’re ready to give it such a sum of money, I can safely you recommend Ford Galaxy, certainly will not regret it.
