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 middle and third-row seats that fold into the floor, accommodating three child seats with Isofix points. With 300 litres of boot space with all seats upright and up to 2,339 litres with seats folded, it handles family life with ease. The cabin is quiet and comfortable, with excellent storage solutions including deep door bins and fold-out picnic tables.
Ford's engineering expertise shines through in the Galaxy's driving dynamics, which surpass rivals like the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso and Volkswagen Sharan. Engine options have evolved over the generation, with early models offering 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre petrols alongside 2.0-litre diesels in various outputs. From 2019, the range was simplified to 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesels with 150hp or 190hp, with the final model year offering only a 2.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid. Running costs are reasonable for most variants, though the most powerful petrol and diesel engines are thirsty. The Galaxy remains an excellent choice for families prioritising space and comfort over SUV fashion.
Best for: Growing families needing seven seats, those prioritising practicality and comfort, and buyers seeking a rewarding driving experience in an MPV.
Not ideal for: Those wanting the sharpest handling (Ford S-Max), sliding rear doors (Seat Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan), or preferring compact SUVs over traditional MPVs.

| Volkswagen Sharan | 4/5 | N/A | 32.8% | 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 practicality and comfort, and want excellent boot space with flexible seating arrangements.
Consider alternatives if: You prefer sliding rear doors (Seat Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan), want the sharpest handling dynamics (Ford S-Max), or are drawn to SUVs over traditional MPVs.
Competitive Position: The Ford Galaxy (2015-2023) is a standout in the MPV market, offering superior driving dynamics compared to rivals whilst maintaining exceptional practicality. Its expert rating of 5 out of 5 reflects its well-rounded capabilities, and the 4.8 user rating demonstrates strong ownership satisfaction. Whilst the Seat Alhambra matches it on expert rating and edges ahead on user satisfaction, the Galaxy offers better value with 33.2% good or great deals available. The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso provides more competitive pricing, but the Galaxy's superior driving experience and spacious interior make it the more rewarding choice for families seeking both practicality and enjoyment.
