Although it’s a seven-seater Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV), the Ford Galaxy isn’t just about passenger comfort. It’s also packed with advanced driver assistance technology. From Adaptive Cruise Control, to Active Park Assist and Blind Spot Information System (available as part of optional Driver Assist Pack) to Lane Keeping Aid which is standard on Titanium. These are just a sample of the Galaxy's array of sophisticated technologies, there to make your driving experience not only safer, but also a pleasure.
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go lets you set both your cruising speed, and distance from the vehicle in front. If it detects traffic is slowing, the system will maintain your pre-set distance if conditions don’t allow for your preferred cruising speed. It can even bring you to a complete stop in heavy traffic. Once the road in front is clear, the system automatically accelerates back up to your chosen speed – making it ideal for negotiating the crowded stop-start driving of urban environments.
A small panoramic camera on the front of the Galaxy relays a split-screen image to your SYNC 3 display so you can see vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians coming from either side. This front wide-view camera is invaluable if you’re edging out of a narrow parking space, or in a busy road where your view is obstructed.
Whether the signs are at the side of the road or above it, permanent or temporary, Traffic Sign Recognition can identify them. Icons for speed limits and no-overtaking signs are displayed on the instrument cluster, alerting you to changing restrictions. And Intelligent Speed Assist works with Traffic Sign Recognition to enhance your speed control, enabling you to concentrate on the road. When activated, the system can identify the local speed limit and then automatically adjust your maximum speed accordingly.
An Intelligent AWD system can determine how much grip, cornering balance and responsiveness is required in wet, dry or icy conditions and on varying terrain. The technology is able to send drive to the front or rear axle depending on requirements. And this ‘torque on demand’ system delivers exceptional handling and improved efficiency.
Active Park Assist can steer you into parking spaces just 20% longer than your vehicle. Simply push a button and the sensors of this innovative system locate a suitable space as you drive past. Then it automatically steers you in, while all you do is operate the accelerator, gears and brake (following on-screen instructions and audible signals).
Hill Start Assist temporarily stops you rolling backwards or forwards when making a hill start. The system works by maintaining pressure to the braking system for an extra 2-3 seconds, giving you more time and control as you move your foot from brake pedal to accelerator. It’s also useful when you’re stopping and starting on slippery surfaces.
The Galaxy has a multi-link rear suspension. This advanced system is light, rigid and perfectly tuned, for excellent responsiveness, control and ride quality.
Cross Traffic Alert is part of the Blind Spot Information System. When you’re reversing out of a space and have limited visibility of the traffic situation, Cross Traffic Alert can detect oncoming vehicles and sound a warning. The technology illuminates a light in the wing mirror too (left or right depending on the direction of oncoming traffic).
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)BLIS senses vehicles hidden in your blind spot to make changing lanes saferTooltip. If it detects a vehicle, the system alerts you via discreet warning lights on the door mirrors. If you miss the warning, with Blind Spot Assist applies light resistance to the steering, gently discouraging the manoeuvre. Cross Traffic Alert works with BLIS to increase awareness when you’re reversing out of a space with limited visibility. The system detects vehicles approaching from the sides and sounds a warning alerting you to their presence.
Adaptive Lighting with Ford Dynamic LED headlights delivers precise and intensely bright light patterns that are automatically adjusted to suit different road and driving conditions. Daytime running lights are also included and LED sequential turn indicator strips replace traditional ‘blinking’ lights, illuminating in sequence for high visibility. In addition, Glare-free high beam adjusts itself automatically to avoid dazzling other drivers and by following the road, these new headlights help you see more clearly when driving around bends.
A Lane Keeping System uses a forward-looking camera to detect if you’re unintentionally drifting out of lane. Lane Keeping Alert then warns you by vibrating the steering wheel and displaying a visual warning. If you're slow to react or don’t respond, Lane Keeping Aid can provide steering torque assistance to help guide you back into the right lane. The technology is designed for multi-lane roads (like motorways), so will automatically deactivate at speeds below 43 mph or can be turned off manually.
An important and potentially life-saving part of Ford SYNC is Emergency AssistanceFord Emergency Assistance. In the unlikely event of an accident, where the airbag is deployed or the fuel-pump deactivated, the technology can use a Bluetooth®Bluetooth Trademark-paired and connected mobile phone to automatically make a direct call to the Emergency Services for you. You can choose to stop the call, or talk to those services if you need to. Crucially, the system will supply vital information, such as your GPS coordinates, even if you are unconscious. For more minor incidents such as tyre damage, FordPass app lets you call Roadside Assistance with just a few taps, and track when help will arrive on a real-time map.
Bollards, bicycles, low walls… The rear-view camera activates automatically when you select reverse gear and shows whatever’s behind you on your SYNC 3 display. As well as revealing objects you might miss, the system displays virtual lines that show your current path and help you park into the smallest of spaces. You can also switch to split-screen image that shows you what’s coming from either side of your SUV, making it easier to reverse out of tight spaces.
With specially designed ergonomic seats, a sculpted, contemporary design and advanced connectivity giving you remote control through the FordPass app, this is a truly first-class experience. Welcome on board the Ford Galaxy.
The FordPass app seamlessly connects you with your new Galaxy, keeping you moving in intelligent, intuitive ways. Get remote access to your vehicle wherever you are, track its last location and even lock it remotely for added peace of mind. Real time trafficFordPass with Live Traffic updates delivered to your vehicle’s navigation system help you to avoid delays. And with Vehicle Health Alerts sent straight to your phone, you’ll immediately know about any issues so you can handle maintenance quickly, with all the information you need.
The innovative new EasyFold system lets you fold each second row seat flat at the touch of a button. While for the ultimate in convenience, the press-button EasyFold and Power Raise feature helps to speed up the loading of larger items by lowering and raising the third row seating.
Multi-contour seats are available for the driver and front passenger and the design makes them fully adjustable. As a result, they can provide added support where you need it and even offer you a massage, helping you stay fresh on long journeys.
The Galaxy is available with specially designed ergonomic seats, maximising your back support, and keeping you comfortable and relaxed on even the longest journeys. The 18-way adjustable seats (including an electrically-operated, 4-way adjustable lumbar support), have been certified by the AGR (Campaign for Healthier Backs) and are recommended by doctors and physiotherapists.
If you’ve got your hands full, and the Galaxy senses the proximity of your KeyFree key fob, all you have to do is wave your foot under the rear bumper and the liftgate will automatically open or close.
To help you find your ideal, most comfortable driving position, the steering column easily adjusts for both rake and reach.
Galaxy automatically senses the presence of its own unique key fob, even if it’s in your pocket or bag. So just press the Ford Power Starter Button and the engine fires to life.
Ford SYNC 3 helps you to stay connected. You can control your phone, music and navigation with natural voice commands. And even send destinations from the FordPass app on your smartphone, straight to the SYNC 3 navigation. The system has an 8” colour touchscreen with pinch-and-swipe gestures for intuitive control. SYNC 3 can also connect to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and with AppLink, you can access some of your favourite smartphone apps.
This clever feature is designed to get you on the move quickly on frosty mornings. Just touch a button and ultra-thin filaments can superheat to de-ice, de-fog and de-mist your windscreen as well as help defrost the wipers. The system works in seconds, even if it’s freezing outside.
A nine speaker audio system comes as standard with Ford SYNC 3 and delivers exceptional clarity of sound throughout the car. An optional Premium system, with DAB radio, provides a heightened listening experience and includes 12 Sony speakers.
The Ford KeyFree System lets you lock and unlock your vehicle, without having to take your key out of your pocket or bag. You can also open the door if the key is inside the car, or use the FordPass app to securely lock and unlock from anywhere, without the need for a key at all.
MyKey lets you set the maximum speed limit, a seatbelt reminder and even the volume of the audio system. The technology is designed to give you peace of mind if you lend your vehicle to a friend or family member because you can programme the restrictions you want to set for that key. You can keep the unrestricted ‘admin’ key yourself and even have more than one of both if you want.
This useful technology makes it almost impossible to put the wrong fuel in your vehicle, because the wrong nozzle simply won’t fit. Even better, as Ford Easy Fuel is a capless system, you’ll never have to handle a dirty fuel cap again.
At the press of a button, the electronically operated roof blind glides away, allowing natural light to stream in through the panorama roof. At the same time, solar reflective glass keeps you cool and protects you from harmful UV rays.
Unlike most spray nozzles, Ford’s Clearview Front Wiper System delivers fluid along the full length of the wipers. There are multiple water holes too, so the washer fluid is delivered directly into the path of each wiper blade as it sweeps across the windscreen. The result? A cleaner windscreen that helps to improve your visibility. And because the system uses less fluid, you don’t need to top up quite so often.
The Galaxy hybrid’s continuously variable automatic transmission optimises fuel economy and maximises performance. Galaxy’s engineering lets you find your ideal balance of rewarding performance and impressive efficiency.
The Galaxy hybrid is available with our latest 2.5-litre petrol hybrid system, which delivers an exceptional 190 PS and 200 Nm of torque, alongside improved fuel economy. Find out more about the Ford Galaxy engine.
The Galaxy features an advanced new automatic transmission. With improved acceleration and super-smooth gear changes, it’s engineered from the ground up to enhance your driving experience, optimise fuel efficiency, and maximise performance. Plus, it unlocks the Remote Start feature in the FordPass app, so you can conveniently start the engine and get your Galaxy up to a comfortable temperature without ever leaving the house.
Unlike traditional systems, Smart Regenerative Charging only charges the battery when it needs it and, whenever possible, avoids doing so when you’re pressing the accelerator. This can help save even more fuel and further reduce emissions.
When you stop at traffic lights or your vehicle is idling in a queue, this technology can automatically switch off the engine (while still supplying power to essentials like the headlights, air-conditioning, radio and the Ford SYNC system). When you're ready to move, just depress the clutch and select first gear as usual, or press the accelerator on an automatic, and the system restarts. Auto Start-Stop is particularly effective in town and city streets, where it can cut fuel consumption by up to 10% (urban cycle).
Galaxy has Ford’s Advanced Intelligent Protection System which includes a range of technologies designed to assist you, including Emergency Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Control. Galaxy also has ISOFIX compatible attachments for three child seats.
Pre-Collision Assist detects vehicles and pedestrians in the road ahead, or who could cross the vehicle’s path, and warns you of their presence. If you don’t respond, the system automatically applies the brakes. This technology is designed to help reduce the severity of accidents, or help avoid them altogether, and functions at speeds of up to 50 mph.
The Galaxy is equipped with an advanced Intelligent Protection System (IPS), which coordinates a series of safety systems to offer maximum protection for you and your passengers.
The Galaxy is designed to help keep young children safe and secure on every journey. It comes with rear ISOFIX child seat attachment points, so you can easily fit two child seats.Model Shown
A driver’s airbag is optimised for chest protection and a knee airbag can help protect lower limbs. Front seat side pelvic and thorax airbags are shaped to provide a more effective safeguard and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional shielding for all three rows of seats. New side pelvic and thorax airbags are available for the outermost seats in the second row, too. Seat belt pre-tensioners and load limiters fitted to these seats also help protect occupants in the event of a frontal impact, slowing them down more efficiently. Plus, with seat belt minders fitted as standard, you’ll always know when everyone has securely fastened their seat belts.
Emergency Brake Assist helps your vehicle achieve maximum braking effectiveness in an emergency situation. It’s controlled automatically via the Electronic Stability Control system, which senses how much pressure you’ve applied to the brake yourself and automatically increases it, if necessary.
