Trunk dimensions Ford S-MAX

The 2010 Ford S-Max offers a flexible trunk with a volume of about 10.1 cu ft with the rear seats upright and up to 70.6 cu ft with the seats folded down. The rear seat is split 60:40, allowing versatile use. The interior is functionally designed, with a low loading edge that makes loading and unloading easier.

The trunk dimensions vary depending on equipment and model year, with the trunk shape being rectangular, optimizing the use of storage space. Typical features include high practicality and well-thought-out storage compartments that simplify everyday life.

Model Information

The Ford S-Max is a versatile van characterized by its modern design and practical functionality. The latest series combines comfort with innovative technology and offers seating for up to seven passengers.

The S-Max is known for its agile handling and the ability to be used both in city traffic and on long trips. It offers a variety of engines, including gasoline and diesel, which ensure both performance and efficiency.

Variants of the Same Series

The Ford S-Max is mainly offered as a van and differs significantly from other models in the Ford lineup such as the Ford Galaxy, which is also considered a family van but is larger. There are no sedan or convertible variants of the S-Max, so buyers should ensure they choose the correct model to avoid confusion.

Model Year Differences

The Ford S-Max was first introduced in 2006 and received a comprehensive facelift in 2015 focusing on design, technology, and equipment. These changes led to a slight increase in the body size and thus the trunk space.

The latest generation, introduced in 2020, brought further improvements in space and flexibility, positively affecting the trunk dimensions.

Direct Competitors

In the same vehicle class, the Ford S-Max competes with models such as the Volkswagen Sharan and the Peugeot 5008. The Sharan offers a trunk volume of up to 81.1 cu ft with folded seats, making it superior in this regard.

The Peugeot 5008 has a maximum trunk volume of 75.9 cu ft. The S-Max, with its maximum volume of 70.6 cu ft, is in the mid-range but offers a good balance between space and driving dynamics.

More Affordable Alternatives

More affordable alternatives to the Ford S-Max with similar trunk dimensions include the Dacia Lodgy and the Citroën Berlingo. The Dacia Lodgy offers a maximum trunk volume of up to 92.4 cu ft, making it an attractive option for buyers on a limited budget.

The Citroën Berlingo also has a large trunk volume, which can reach up to 105.9 cu ft depending on configuration. These models offer less comfort and equipment than the S-Max but are worth considering for buyers who prioritize space.

Trunk volume Ford S-MAX

Trunk Volume

The Ford S‑MAX (2016) offers a manufacturer- and independent-measured volume of 19.4 cu ft up to the trunk cover. This is about 30.95% larger than an average car and corresponds to approximately 7.2% of the total car volume (0.8 percentage points above average).

Variants of usable capacity:

  • Up to the cover: 19.4 cu ft.
  • Up to the roof (with unloaded rear seats): 33.5 cu ft (according to test data, up to 17 standard beverage crates fit then).
  • Rear seatback folded down, cargo up to window edge: 36.2 cu ft.
  • Rear seatback folded down, up to the roof: 66.7 cu ft.
  • With the third row upright: only 5.8 cu ft (about four beverage crates).

Practical consequence: the S‑MAX offers significantly more cargo space in everyday use and on vacation than a normal car; with folded seats, bulky or large quantities can also be transported, while loading with full seating (third row) is strongly limited.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 189 in length, 75.6 in width, 65.4 in height. Compared to an average car, the S‑MAX is 9.4 in longer (≈5.2%), 2.8 in wider (≈3.5%), and 3.5 in higher (≈5.8%).

Comparison with parking space: According to information, the vehicle is about 7.9 in shorter and 22.8 in narrower than a standard parking space.

This means: the S‑MAX generally fits into standard parking spots, but the width of 75.6 in requires a bit more caution when entering and exiting as well as maneuvering in tight parking spaces.

Practical effects:

  • Width and length favor interior comfort and loading area but can make maneuvering in tight garages or narrow streets more difficult.
  • The height (65.4 in) is unproblematic for most underground garages.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The loading opening is high and wide, the tailgate opens and closes fully automatically by button (tailgate or remote control). The loading edge is moderately high at 26 in, which facilitates loading and unloading; the trunk floor is arranged at loading height.

Practical details and operation:

  • The rear seat is split into three foldable parts and can be folded down either from the front or by a button in the trunk; the third-row seats can be electrically folded into the floor — high flexibility.
  • Before folding down the middle rear seat, the ceiling-mounted middle rear seatbelt must be removed, otherwise it blocks.
  • Under the trunk floor, there is a compartment for small items; on the right, there is a hook for shopping bags.
  • Lighting: The existing trunk light is often insufficient in practice; the additional lamp in the tailgate does not bring a relevant improvement according to tests — poor trunk lighting.
  • Safety disadvantages: The lock on the tailgate protrudes and can pose a head injury risk for tall persons.
  • Larger items lying on the rear seats are not always easily accessible from outside due to the trunk length.

General Model Information

Familiarity and purpose: The Ford S‑MAX is a compact family MPV/van developed for transport flexibility and variable interior space. Tests praise the space concepts; a test comment states roughly: “With 19.4 cu ft trunk volume, no wishes remain unfulfilled.”

Special features and peculiarities:

  • High utility value through variable seat configurations and electric folding of the third row.
  • Fully automatic tailgate, large loading volume, and moderate loading edge are everyday advantages.
  • Minor weaknesses: insufficient trunk lighting, protruding tailgate lock head, and limited small-item storage.

Price-performance ratio and competition: The S‑MAX positions itself as a practically oriented family van with good variability; it typically competes with other large vans/MPVs such as the Ford Galaxy, Volkswagen Sharan, Renault Grand Scénic, or Citroën Grand C4 Picasso.

The trim levels determine the final price-performance ratio.

Conclusion: Those seeking a lot of variable cargo space and flexible seating solutions get a very practical solution with the S‑MAX (2016); those who regularly travel with all seven seats or search intensively in the trunk in the dark should consider the mentioned limitations.
