The Ford Galaxy was unveiled in 1995 as a family-friendly MPV, produced in partnership with SEAT, Volkswagen and Ford. For that reason, there were many similarities between the Galaxy, Alhambra and Sharan. Through three generations and multiple facelifts, Ford kept the Galaxy relevant and roomy for families until the model was discontinued in 2023.

Ford Galaxy generations
Third Generation (2015 to Present)
While the dimensions of the third-generation Galaxy were the same as the previous models, the newest selection offered a more modern style. Thinner headlamps were added, along with LED tail lights. Because it was built on a car platform, the handling was superior and vastly different from a larger SUV.
With the 2019 refresh, the styling was further updated with clear-lens fog lights and improved headlights. The top-spec model also included a hexagonal grille with 3D mesh. Ford focused on better emissions and efficiency from the engine lineup for the final years of the Galaxy's production.

Second Generation (2006 to 2014)
The second generation was the first Galaxy model produced outside of the Volkswagen partnership, and Ford focused on making the lineup more practical. The manufacturer used many of the same components from the S-MAX, but it was longer and wider to allow room for seven people to fit.
This generation of Galaxy offered updated tech and comfort features that keep this model relevant today. A bright instrument cluster was added and the leather-wrapped steering wheel provided an upmarket feel to the cabin.

Used Ford Galaxy information
Used Ford Galaxy FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Ford Galaxy?
The 2.0-litre diesel engines have been the most popular because they offer a good balance of performance and efficiency. It's much more difficult to find the petrol or hybrid configurations among used Galaxys.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Throughout the years, the Ford Galaxy was offered in many variants, including the Zetec and Titanium. The Titanium has been among the most popular with LED daytime running lights, keyless entry, silver roof rails and rain-sensing front wipers coming as standard.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for the panoramic roof, which offers a brighter, more inviting cabin. Heated leather seats can be added to the front, while a power automatic tailgate provides convenient access to the boot.
Is the Ford Galaxy a good family car?
Yes, the purpose of the Galaxy was to provide an affordable option for families, with lots of interior space and 7 seats coming in every version. There's a wide selection of powertrains, features and equipment available, allowing families to find a model that suits them.
Is there a hybrid version of the Ford Galaxy?
Towards the end of production, the Ford Galaxy was only available in a self-charging hybrid configuration. This setup has a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for increased efficiency, a 37mpg fuel economy rating and lower emissions compared to conventional models.
Is the Ford Galaxy available as an automatic?
Yes, there are automatic and manual gearboxes available with the used Galaxy. Both are nearly equally as popular, so there shouldn't be an issue finding either version of the Galaxy in the used car market.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
While most used Ford Galaxy MPVs came with front-wheel drive, there were some that had four-wheel drive. This added capability is helpful on slippery terrain, but it can be difficult to find among the used selection and the front-wheel variants cope well in usual driving conditions.
