The S-MAX 7-seat model means you can enjoy all the contemporary style of this exciting car, but with the added luxury of all that extra space.

Five comfortable seats slide forwards, backwards, and individually recline. If you regularly travel with friends or family, and indulge in activities that need bulky equipment, then this model is ideally designed to suit your needs. A sliding load floor is also available for extra convenience when carrying loads of up to 2000kg when in 2 seat mode.

You could be a DIY enthusiast, or your daughter’s mountain bike could need picking up, or maybe you’ve been nominated as roadie for your son’s band. Whatever you and your family need to carry, the S-MAX is flexible enough to cope. FFS means each rear seat folds down flush with the floor, plus the second-row seats can also slide and tilt. In total, there are an astonishing 32 possible seating combinations.

The Ford S-MAX’s exquisitely detailed interior is evidence of our unrelenting commitment to quality. Ford has engineered every single component for dependability, safety and strength. Choose from new trims, Individual personalisation options, and premium Windsor leather.

This intuitive digital command centre helps you stay in complete control of many of the car’s systems. Featuring an enhanced or Ford Convers+ cluster display, the HMI is operated by two steering wheel-mounted toggles for audio and vehicle settings. With the left toggle you can find and change radio stations or CD tracks, as well as set the volume. The right toggle switch controls the cluster display for vehicle settings and the trip computer. On the Ford Convers+ cluster display, the right toggle lets you scroll through MultiMedia lists, controlling the phone, radio, and CD player. An optional USB/MP3/iPod® connectivity port is also available.

Now you can choose to safely make hands-free calls on the move from your mobile by using Voice Control technology. This system lets you control a Bluetooth®*-compatible mobile, as well as the car’s audio, DVD navigation and climate control systems.

With ACC you can automatically keep your chosen distance from the car in front. Should the car in front slow down and reduce the gap, your speed drops, too. And when traffic speeds up, you automatically return to cruising speed. Meanwhile, FA monitors your distance to the vehicle in front and if you drive too close, a warning noise and flashing light activate.

This new driver assistance system is included as part of cruise control. ASLD is designed to help drivers avoid exceeding driver-selected speeds unintentionally – for example, staying within legal speed limits during long road trips. By using enhanced cruise control switches on the steering wheel, you can adjust your top speed limit within a range of 30 to 180 km/h (19 to 112 mph). Should you try to exceed that range, the engine management system intervenes to maintain your set speed limit.

What if you feel the cold, but your passenger doesn’t? You and your front passenger can set the temperature with up to 4°C variation between you.

With the S-MAX, an AUX jack is available, so you can plug in your MP3 player and operate it yourself. You can also use the USB connection to plug in your MP3 player. To control the music, just operate the remote audio controls, or issue voice commands using Bluetooth® with Voice Control technology.
