Five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings for Ford S-MAX and Galaxy
09 Sep 2015|4,306 views
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 offered for the first time 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.
In addition, S-MAX and Galaxy offer Ford's sophisticated Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection technology that can reduce the severity of some frontal collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians, or even help drivers avoid some impacts altogether.
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 percent increase in body strength.
Vehicle stability is enhanced with Curve Control and Roll Stability Control systems that adjust engine torque and braking to help drivers maintain control, and the all new S-MAX and Galaxy also support drivers in town and on the highway with advanced technologies including the Intelligent Speed Limiter and Glare-Free Highbeam.
