Our diesel engines range from the 1.8-litre Duratorq TDCi (100 PS) and culminate in the awesome 2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi (175 PS) – currently the largest and most powerful diesel engine available in any of our cars. The Transient overboost is available on 2.0 TDCi and 2.2 TDCi, providing that needed extra power when overtaking.

Petrol engines
If you prefer petrol, we have a superb range from the 2.0-litre Duratec (145 PS) right up to the powerful 2.3-litre Duratec HE (161 PS) 4-cylinder petrol engine.
Alternative fuel
Then there are our Flexifuel engines, which offer a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions by running on bioethanol E85 or normal unleaded petrol – or any mixture of the two.
Transmissions
The Galaxy comes with five or six-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed automatic. This advanced automatic transmission measures engine load and road speed electronically, deciding on the right time to change gear, and ensuring the shifting is smooth and flexible.
Active Safety Features
The Galaxy’s active safety features help provide the safest possible environment for you and your passengers. These include:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) to help prevent skidding with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) for more stable braking.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Traction Assist (TA) monitors the rotation of the wheels, as well as the steering wheel angle, yaw angle and sideways movement. If the sensors detect either the front or rear tyres slipping, the onboard computer modifies the engine power and applies the brakes to individual wheels. This keeps them under control and helps keep the vehicle stable. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) is there to ensure full braking force is available whenever necessary, helping reduce stopping distances in an emergency. To alert other drivers if you do have to brake heavily, the hazard warning lights automatically come on.
Interactive Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVDC) with Continuous Controlled Damping (CCD) gives smooth and responsive handling and guarantees stability and efficient braking. Each damper is adjusted five times per second for a smoother, more comfortable ride. You can also select different suspension settings from a range of ‘sport’, ‘normal’ and ‘comfort’ modes to suit your driving style.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring with individual wheel sensors check the tyre pressure, provides accurate pressure data and alerts you before any loss of pressure becomes an issue.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) prevents you from rolling backwards when making a hill start. After releasing the brake pedal when stationary, HSA keeps the wheels braked, leaving you enough time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator without the car moving.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Forward Alert (FA). With ACC you can automatically keep your chosen distance from the car in front. Should the car in front slow down and reduce the gap, your speed drops too. And when traffic speeds up, you automatically return to cruising speed. Meanwhile, FA monitors your distance to the vehicle in front.
If you drive too close, a warning noise and flashing light activate.
Smooth and responsive
Interactive Vehicle Dynamics Control (IVDC) with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD). With the latest innovations in driving technology, the Galaxy drives just like a saloon car. Smooth and responsive handling, guaranteed stability and efficient braking, that’s what IVDC with continuously controlled damping give you. Each damper is adjusted five times per second for a smoother, more comfortable ride. You can also select different suspension settings from a range of sport, normal and comfort modes to suit your individual driving style.
