I must admit that getting ready to test the Ford Galaxy had a number of concerns. It’s not often because the cars run with dimensions similar to the small bus. Concerns over, as soon as I set off on the road. Auto performed superbly, and maneuver – driven copy with automatic transmission – no problems. Galaxy held the pavement like Velcro dog’s tail. Nimbly, without roll, he fared on the winding streets of Opole and on the road. Also, at higher speeds the order of 130 – 150 km / h. This is mainly due developed by Ford’s all-wheel drive and AWD. This system improves traction and grip, distributing torque between the wheels. If necessary, provide even all of the available torque to the wheels of the rear axle, and change the settings in just 100 milliseconds. The display on the main console to date informs the driver of the drive.
Behind the wheel I felt like the captain on the bridge. The relatively high driving position offers excellent visibility. The front console is very clear and intuitive. Quickly I figured out where to look for the basic knobs, levers and buttons. I suppose, however, that the use of the full range of settings, options and messages that on-board computer Galaxy offers the driver and passengers, will require review the manual.
The seven-Galaxy is primarily a family car. Just sit back, to feel it at home. The interior is finished very carefully, even luxuriously. Seats are covered with a white, elegantly trimmed with leather. Leather trimmed steering wheel and also the gear lever. The full-size, electrically operated panoramic sunroof brightens the interior and – I am convinced – will provide passengers with additional driving experience. The configuration of the passenger compartment is very simple. When you press one button, you can not only submit all the seats, but the seats and fold the third row. This innovation in this segment. After placing both rows of seats obtained by the trunk of an impressive capacity of 2339 l. The luggage compartment is not protruding threshold, making it very easy for and unloading. With his hands full and the key in your pocket enough to make a slight movement of his foot under the center of the rear bumper to hatch opened or closed, without touching the car.
Galaxy latest generation is very effectively muted. Even at high speeds I heard mostly very gentle purr of the engine, from the outside docierało little. The more fun I was listening to music with Sony audio system, in which the car is equipped.
Since the launch of the Ford Galaxy minivan passed more than 20 years. Galaxy 4×4 AWD is a worthy continuer of the line.
