Ford S Max - 7 Seater
When Ford designed and released their Ford S Max model, they tried to differentiate it from the other 7 seater models on the market by making sure that alongside great functionality the vehicle also contained a sporty edge. Because of this aim, the Ford S Max Seven Seater boasts a much sportier trim than other models and gives a performance that you would not usually associate with a 7 seater.
Ford S Max - Storage Space
Still, despite this slight emphasis on performance, the Ford S-Max is still a true 7 Seater car. Thanks to the large cabin and storage space, 7 people can comfortably fit in the car complete with luggage while seats which lay completely flat make the S Max incredibly versatile.
Ford S Max - Purchase Price
A brand new 7 seater Ford S Max will set you back from £18,700 for a basic model, which comes with most of the features you would expect. However, basic models are lacking in several key features such as stability control, passenger air bags to the back and child seat locks on the front passenger seat. Purchasing these upgrades can push the price of the Ford S Max up to £29,495. Ford S Max Edge models also suffer from a lack of air conditioning, which can become an issue on longer journeys.
Ford S Max - Insurance Group
Due to the large amount of different models of Ford S Max available, there are a wide range of insurance groups for the model.
