The New Ford Galaxy

Published Date: 30th May 2006

The MPV has been designed entirely in-house by Ford, building on the strengths that have established previous versions of the Ford Galaxy in the marketplace.

Martin Smith, executive design director of Ford Europe, commented: "Our goal with a new Ford Galaxy will be to offer a true seven seat vehicle that provides the product values this core customer group desires.

"[All] the elements are [in] place, from the refined exterior design to an unprecedented level of interior room and functionality. We think this vehicle will excel in this highly competitive segment."

In terms of looks, the new Ford Galaxy will have a characteristically angled nose along with a new headlight shape.

It will also feature a split front grille and a panoramic rear screen allowing for plenty of visibility.

Although details about specifications are still being kept under wraps, Ford has announced the introduction of a new Human Machine Interface (HMI) system that allows the driver to communicate with the vehicle.

This will work through a four-spoke toggle control, positioned on either side of the steering wheel to control various car functions.
