What's new?
Firstly, new heart. Now equipped with a higher pressure turbo at 240hp and 340Nm or torque mated with 6 speed Powershift Dual Clutch gearbox. This is an increase from 200hp and 300Nm torque previously.
This is the same engine as New Mondeo and Volvo S60 T6. Combined fuel consumption of 8.1/100km and 0-100km/h in STONKING 8.2 seconds and top speed equally STONKING 235km/h. Performance wise, only the VW Sharan with Golf GTI engine comes close. But it costs RM45,000 more...

Secondly, it now has XXL Panoramic Fixed Glass roof, Higher quality fabric seats, Bi-xenon headlights with DRL and headlamp washer and finally the price: It's now RM13,000 dearer than before.
The S-max inherits the Mondeo famous Control Blade multi-link rear suspension. Rest assured that ride and handling will be legendary. Class leading I'd say. It also comes with Fold flat rear seats. "Boot space" goes from 285 litres to a WHOOPING 1711 litres in 2 seater mode.
My rating: 8/10. Deduct marks for questionable maintenance costs and after sales service and cramped 3rd row seats.
Well there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words. Here are the photos:
Above: 1 pull-fold-down 3rd row seats. Below: 3rd row legroom.
B'pillar air cond vents for 2nd row passengers.

That's all folks, thanks for having the time and patience to read this blog entry. An original Jeff Lim's production. Not to be copied without giving credit or links.
happy owner I'm. Totally agree that Ford is making Mondeo and S-Max class leading, I have my previous S-Max remapped to match the current offer. The car is amazing, the chassis and feedbacks is absolutely amazing!
