The all-new Ford S-MAX sports activity vehicle and Galaxy people mover have been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating by independent crash test authority Euro NCAP.

The technologically advanced S-MAX and Galaxy are both, for the first time, offered with second-row seat side-airbags for additional passenger side-impact protection, and also offer first and second-row seatbelt pre-tensioners with load limiters to further enhance rear passenger safety. Both vehicles use ultra-high strength hydro-formed steel in the A-pillars, B-pillars and roof rails for enhanced side impact performance.

New second-row seat side-airbags for the S-MAX and Galaxy join driver and front-passenger, driver-knee, and first-, second- and third-row curtain airbags. Seatbelt minders feature for all three rows of seats in the Galaxy and for the S-MAX when specified with seven seats – helping parents ensure children remain safely buckled in. The use of hydro-formed steel contributes to a three per cent increase in body strength.
