Reviewed a 2008 Ford Galaxy on 7 Feb 2026
These cars are ok but unfortunately not as good as the first generation. Seating is ample but even the front seats are not that comfortable especially on long distance journeys. The seats are not as padded in previous versions. The rear 2 seats are more like children’s. Although the rear 5 seats fold into the floor so you do not have to take them out there’s less boot/ carrying space and the change of shape makes it difficult to put larger items in as the rear boot access isn’t square like the mark 1. Driving position is ok but again not as high up as the former model. The doors catch on higher pavements. Servicing is difficult. Oil change if DIY is problematic. You have to raise front end to drop under trays. Oil sump plug then easy to access and open. However oil filter you have to remove the oil filler pipe which needs either a special tool or creativity with what you have. Fuel filter once fitted even my garage has issues bleeding through. Also so many with gear box faults particularly the automatic where regular transmission fluid changes are required. Most people don’t realise this. Again a specialist job. Manual version better with better fuel consumption. Diesel fuel consumption a little down on earlier models. Petrol will always be more thirsty but will satisfy ulez requirements. New + 2016 diesel’s will probably be ulez compliant but check before buying as dependent in those wonderful Europe ratings. Summary probably would rate it closer to 4 if I hadn’t driven the bigger mark 1 version that converts more like a small van.

Ford Galaxy (2015-2023) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Rewarding to drive and comfortable to travel in | Not quite as sharp to drive as a Ford S-Max |
| Plenty of space in all three rows of seats | Powerful petrol models are thirsty |
| Decent boot, even when all seven seats are in use | Lacks sliding rear doors |
Quick Summary
The Ford Galaxy (2015-2023) is a large, versatile seven-seat MPV that combines practicality with genuine driving enjoyment. With a roomy interior, flexible seating arrangements, and impressive boot space, it's one of the most capable people carriers available. The Galaxy features powered third-row seats that fold into the floor at the touch of a button, accommodating three child seats with Isofix points across the middle row. Ford's attention to detail includes a quieter cabin, lower emissions, and better fuel economy than its predecessor, making it an excellent choice for growing families seeking space without sacrificing comfort or driving dynamics.
Engine options have evolved throughout the generation, with early models offering a choice of petrol and diesel units. By 2019, Ford streamlined the range to focus on EcoBlue diesels with 150hp or 190hp, delivering refined performance and respectable economy. The final iteration introduced a 2.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid as the sole new-car option. Whilst not as sharp as the smaller S-Max, the Galaxy rides smoothly, handles competently, and remains remarkably quiet at speed. Running costs are generally modest, though the most powerful petrol engines prove thirsty. With SYNC 3 infotainment, climate control, and generous storage throughout, the Galaxy offers excellent value for families prioritising space and versatility.
Best for: Growing families needing seven seats, those seeking a comfortable and practical people carrier with genuine driving enjoyment, and buyers wanting flexible seating and generous boot space.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising sharp handling (consider the Ford S-Max instead), buyers wanting sliding rear doors (like the Seat Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan), or those seeking the lowest possible running costs with powerful petrol engines.

| Volkswagen Sharan | 4/5 | N/A | 32.5% | 3.9/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Galaxy if: You need a spacious seven-seat family car that's rewarding to drive, prioritise comfort and practicality, and want flexible seating with generous boot space.
Consider alternatives if: You require sliding rear doors, prioritise the sharpest handling, or seek the absolute lowest running costs with petrol engines.
Competitive Position: The Ford Galaxy (2015-2023) is a highly capable people carrier that competes strongly in the MPV segment. Whilst the Seat Alhambra offers excellent user ratings and sliding doors, and the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso provides good value, the Galaxy stands out for its rewarding driving experience and comfortable ride quality. It combines practicality with genuine enjoyment, making it an excellent choice for families who refuse to compromise on either space or driving dynamics. The Galaxy's refined engines, flexible seating, and thoughtful storage solutions make it a sensible and versatile seven-seat option that outperforms rivals in overall capability and comfort.
