The all-new Ford MPV has a lot of space and flexibility but it still lacks the styling of an S-Max
Ford Galaxy is one of the best MPVs in the UK market and most admired among the buyers as well. It is one of the most common MPV that can be seen on the roads and motorways however a majority of airport transport also consist of Ford Galaxy MPV. The vehicle has an excellent seating capacity and an utmost flexibility to make changes to the interior according to the needs of the driver.
Ford Galaxy engines
There are a number of Ford Galaxy engines options available in the market and only 2.0 litre diesel engine comes with three different power outputs and these engines make a core of the power department. Apart from the diesel engines, there are a number of petrol engines available as well where they have a great chance to beat the Galaxy rivals across the globe. But still, diesel engines are being considered as the range toppers in the Galaxy model lineup. The Galaxy rivals are including the models like seat Alhambra, VW Sharan, and Galaxy’s own sibling Ford S-Max that rivals the model as well. It is for those who are after some sportier models from the house of Ford. The Galaxy is smooth, refined and spacier model than the rivals and offers some hefty torque from the diesel engines.
Ford has a reputation of manufacturing cars which prove to be fun to drive and the previous generations of the Galaxy models were also fun to drive while being larger MPVs. The Galaxy MPV sits at the larger platform of the automaker, the same platform that uses the Mondeo and the S-Max. In the S-Max, the new platform rides smoother and comfortable, but at the same time, the Mondeo was a disappointment. With the massive body size of the Galaxy MPV, it has a driving experience of more like a Mondeo than an S-Max.
The 2.0 litre diesel engine cranks 148bhp of power and remains one of the most popular choices in the model lineup while on the other side, this engine returns an excellent blend of performance and fuel efficiency for a reasonable price. The engine offers an excellent fuel economy and better emission than the other diesel engines. Same is the situation in the diesel engines offered by the competitors. All the engines offered in the Alhambra and Sharan are less fuel efficient returns more carbon emissions than the 148bhp Ford Galaxy engine. There is another version of the 2.0 litre engine offers a power batch of 178bhp and it is one of the models that deliver even better fuel efficiency and ultra-low carbon emissions with a bit extra punch than the 148bhp diesel engine. Both engines got a massive low down torque delivery which starts from 1500rpm and keeps pulling the Galaxy till 4000 rpm.
The base power variant of the 2.0 litre diesel engine is 118bhp and as you can see the power range, it feels relatively weak than the Galaxy’s other models. Although the 118bhp model has the same carbon emissions and fuel economy as the other diesel units offer. It is the only unit which should be avoided. The pick of the range engine offers a blend of performance, economy and the value for the money. The vehicle has more than enough features to go long on the larger trips with comfort and fuel economy. The Galaxy is one of the models that have competitive running costs and available in both manual and automatic transmissions with the all-wheel drive system. There are a number of garages in the UK offer Ford Galaxy engines supply and fit services.
