Ford S-Max

Performance 4/5

Ford offers a couple of turbocharged petrol engines – a 1.6 and a 2.0 – but most buyers will go for one of the TDCi diesels. The smallest of these produces just 114bhp and needs to be worked very hard even when the car is lightly loaded, but the others are all strong and flexible. Pick of the bunch is the 138bhp 2.0-litre.

Ride and Handling 4/5

MPVs don't get any more enjoyable to drive than the S-Max, which seems to shrink around you when you're behind the wheel. Sharp, well weighted steering, plenty of grip and good body control all contribute to the S-Max’s remarkable agility. The price you pay for this dynamic prowess is a slightly firm ride, which can lead to your passengers getting jostled around at low speeds.

Refinement 4/5

Although the S-Max lets in more wind noise than many family saloons, it does a great job of shutting out road- and suspension noise, so it’s still an impressively refined cruiser. The 2.0-litre engines help because they’re quiet and silky-smooth.
