Looking for a car that’s suitable for the whole family? At TC Harrison, we have a choice of family cars to suit the needs of every type of family. Each car is designed with you in mind and includes enhanced safety features to keep every passenger safe.
We’ve put together a handy list to help you decide which Ford family car is best for you.
Ford C-MAX – The Versatile One
Five Seats
The Ford C-MAX can comfortably seat a family of five and is designed for flexibility, practicality and efficiency. The sleek and confident C-MAX includes outstanding handling and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive that will give you the right amount of grip, balance and responsiveness for the driving conditions that you’re in.
Inside, you’ll find five full-size seats so there’s no arguing over who is stuck in the middle seat. The seating configurations are designed to give a large amount of space to keep all of your passengers comfortable and pack all of your luggage too. The individual rear seats can all be folded separately to open up the whole of the rear of the vehicle to optimise space for storage. Even with every seat occupied, there is 400 litres of storage space.
The C-MAX is available with a petrol or diesel engine and includes enhanced safety features such as Pre-Collision Assist, Emergency Assist and Lane Keeping Aid. Ford’s SYNC2 system includes an 8-inch colour touch screen with voice control, and the C-MAX includes Adaptive Cruise Control to complete the package. It also includes a hands-free tailgate so you can open the boot and pack up the car even with your hands full.
Ford S-MAX – The Sporty One
Seven Seats
The smaller seven-seater model, the Ford S-MAX is designed to have all the practicalities of a larger vehicle with a sports-style look and feel, including sports style front seats. The sportier model is ideal for parents who need to provide plenty of space for the whole family but don’t want to give up the fun driving performance of a smaller vehicle.
Inside, all of the details are finished with a premium look too, with a leather steering wheel and gear stick, and Ford’s SYNC3 system as standard across the range. The SYNC3 includes an 8-inch colour touch screen, voice commands and applications such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can choose tunes that will make the whole family smile. The front sports style seats include a multi-contour design that gives support where you need it and can even give you a massage. For the rest of the family, each seat is individual, meaning that they are all just as comfy and supportive. It also means that the seats can be folded down to suit you, your family, and your luggage.
Available as a petrol or a diesel, the S-MAX has a minimum torque of 240Nm with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive to customise the torque depending on the road conditions. It has a top five-star Euro NCAP rating for safety, including an Intelligent Protection system to keep everyone safe.
Ford Galaxy – The Spacious One
Seven Seats
As you’d expect from the name Galaxy, this seven-seater family car is all about space. The Ford Galaxy is a premium solution for larger groups and families with signature Ford styling for sleek aesthetics. It includes seven full-size seats that provide comfort for each passenger, and each seat can be individually folded for additional storage.
The sophisticated interior includes a sculpted central console and advanced thin seat technology and seat contouring that makes the Galaxy super effective in maximising space for both passengers and luggage. The full five-star Euro NCAP rating keeps every person safe with co-ordinated safety systems and integrated child protection in the doors and windows.
The Galaxy has powerful and fuel efficient engine options, with a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol, 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol, or 2.0-litre TDCi Bi-Turbo diesel engine options. It includes Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which finds the optimum grip, cornering balance and responsiveness for all road conditions and offers a range of driver assistance features from a Blind Spot Information System to Perpendicular Parking.
