Ford Galaxy - The third generation of the model was introduced in 2006. Now a restyled version is offered in Ukraine, which premiered at the 2010 Brussels Motor Show. New options include a blind spot monitoring system and the ability to separately lock only the rear doors.
The car is built on the same platform with Ford S-MAX. It differs from the last Galaxy in a more restrained appearance and slightly larger dimensions. Both in the first and second cases, the cars are seven-seater, but in the Galaxy, due to the lack of a slope in the rear of the roof and an almost vertical fifth door, trips on the third row will be more comfortable even for tall passengers, and not just for children. In addition, Galaxy has more glazing area.
Only a diesel modification of the model is presented on the Ukrainian market, under the hood of which a 2-liter Duratorq TDCi turbocharged engine is installed. Its maximum power is 140 hp, and the peak torque, which is reached at 2,000 rpm, is 340 Nm.
The engine can be paired with either a six-speed "mechanics" or a preselective six-speed "robot" Powershift.
Like many minivans, the Ford Galaxy offers a wide range of interior transformation options, as well as many useful and convenient niches and pockets. The maximum trunk volume in the seven-seat configuration is 435 liters, and in the five-seat configuration - 1,260. If you fold not only the third, but also the middle row of seats, then the cargo capacity can be completely increased to 2,325 liters.
Serial production of the Ford Galaxy has been launched at the company's plant in Belgium.
