Ford Galaxy (2006-2015)
The second-generation Ford Galaxy (Mk2), launched in 2006, was a large MPV known for its spaciousness, practicality, and improved driving experience compared to its predecessor. It offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, including a Flexifuel option. The family-oriented Mk2 Galaxy shared platform with the sportier MPV S-Max and featured Ford's FoldFlat system, allowing for flexible seating configurations and a large load area. It's praised for its driving dynamics and handling, especially with the optional CCD active suspension.
The model trims for the Galaxy were Zetec, Ghia, Edge, Titanium and Titanium X.
The Ford Galaxy MK2 won several awards. It was voted Best MPV by BusinessCar Magazine readers four times between 2007 and 2010. Additionally, it was named Best MPV in the 2006 Auto Express awards.
In May 2010, the Galaxy received a facelift, including a redesigned front end with a new grille and bonnet, revised rear lights, and optional LED daytime running lights. Interior changes included a redesigned center console, new door handles, and optional panoramic roof. Engine options were expanded to include more powerful petrol and diesel choices. The model trims for the 2010 facelift were Zetec, Titanium, and Titanium X, with the latter being the top-of-the-line trim replacing the Ghia trim level.
The Mk2 was eventually replaced by the Mk3 Galaxy in 2015, alongside the MK2 S-Max.
Ford discontinued the Galaxy in 2023, alongside the S-Max and Fiesta, as they shifted their focus towards SUVs and electric vehicles. Production of the Galaxy and S-Max ended in April 2023.
