Ford Galaxy 2.0 (2006) CAR review

By Angus Fitton

A new Galaxy. Where does it fit into Ford's burgeoning array of MPVs?

It's quite simple really. The Galaxy is Ford's top-end people carrier, a genuine seven seater with a tall roof, heaps of cabin space and a big boot. It aims to do for people moving what the Transit does for lugging cargo. The others are the S-Max, a sporty 5+2-seater, and the C-Max, a five-seater based on Focus underpinnings.

Where does VW fit into all this?

Nowhere. Although the first generation Galaxy was a VW Sharan with a Ford makeover, that partnership died with the 11-year old original model. This time around, the Galaxy's mechanical bits are shared with the S-Max, forthcoming new Mondeo and even the Volvo S80.

RE: Ford Galaxy 2.0 (2006) CAR review

How did this article from 2006 shoot to the top of the pile without their being a single comment? There´s a new Sharan out now, by the way. It´s not shared with Ford but is VW´s own effort. It seems to resemble a large and squarer Touran. The Ford looks much sharper.
