Ford Galaxy 2006 - 2015 - Used, advantages, disadvantages

In 2010, the Galaxy was redesigned to receive a new chrome grille and rear LED lights. New gasoline and diesel engines with dual-clutch automatic transmission are also available.

In the Euro NCAP crash test, the Ford Galaxy won the highest rating. Ford did its best to ensure passenger safety. The standard Ford Galaxy model comes with seven airbags including side airbags that extend all the way to the rear seats. The steering wheel and pedals are designed to inflict as few injuries as possible to the driver in the event of an accident. In 2010, Ford added blind spot indicators.

When choosing an engine, you can choose between petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engines are 2.0 with 145 hp and 2.3 with 161 hp, both are quiet and with good performance. The more powerful gasoline engine is only available with an automatic transmission and is slower than 2.0 and has a fuel consumption of 9.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The diesel engines are 1.8 TDCi with 100 hp or 125 hp - their consumption is about 6,1 liters per 100 kilometers. The 2.0hp diesel 140 engine is available with an automatic transmission, but with a higher fuel consumption of about 7,4 liters per 100 kilometers. The best diesel engine is the 2.2 TDCi with 175 hp.

Even though it is almost five meters long and with a high roof, it is as if you were driving in a sedan, not in a monovolume: good maneuverability, calmness and easy handling make this a mini.
