Ford Galaxy MPV pictures

The Ford Galaxy is the largest MPV in Ford's extensive people-carrier range

The Galaxy looks like small bus from outside, but is actually quite car-like to drive

The Galaxy takes on seven-seater rivals like the VW Sharan and SEAT Alhambra

The Galaxy's square-sided looks make it very spacious inside

The Galaxy is quiet inside, whether you're driving around town or cruising on the motorway

Ford offers the option of four-wheel drive, but this is only likely to be necessary for those who live off the beaten track

There are three trim levels available: Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X

The suspension is firm enough that the car doesn’t lean too much in corners, but not so hard that bumps become jarring

The steering is well weighted, while stability and grip are excellent – particularly with four-wheel drive

The 148bhp 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine is the best seller and does 0-62mph in 10.9 seconds

Key performance figures for the Ford Galaxy range

The Galaxy has become popular with private-hire operators, but is also a great family car

Inside, the Galaxy benefits from Ford's latest SYNC infotainment system

The Galaxy will feel familiar to anyone who's driven one of Ford's hatchback or saloon models

Clear dials and logically placed controls mark out the Galaxy's dashboard

An optional digital display that runs across the instrument cluster and into the dials is a useful addition that can be fully controlled by the multifunction steering wheel.

Paying more for Titanium trim gets you sat nav
