All-New Ford S-MAX launched in Malaysia - Possibly the fastest MPV you can buy in Malaysia today

The all-new 2016 Ford S-MAX has been launched in Malaysia. Ford and local distributor has officially launched the all-new S-MAX MPV. It will be priced at RM234,988.00 on the road without insurance. 

It is powered by the 2.0liter EcoBoost 4 cylinder petrol engine with 240hp and a 6 speed automatic. The same one you get in the Mondeo. It's going to be a sweet people carrier to drive with that much power on tap. And being a Ford, its going to handle well too. Up to a point of course. It IS an MPV in the first place. And that being said, the SMAX has a lot, really a lot of safety features and other equipment. 

A bit on the higher side in terms of price, but you do get what you're paying for, a very fast, well equipped MPV. Oh, some of you may ask. The rear doors are not sliding based type but as I said, equipment levels are high. Boot space with the 7 seats up are 285liters, 965 with the rear seats folded and a close to Ford Transit sized 2,020liters. No, I don't think anything is close to the Transit actually. Just a comparison to those that value space over everything.

But ignore all of that. This could be the fastest, best handling MPV ever sold in Malaysia. This is more important that everything else.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Mar. 2, 2016 – Ford and its local distributor Sime Darby Auto

Connexion, today officially launched the versatile all-new S-MAX MPV in Malaysia.

Packed with smart technologies and equipped with seven airbags, S-MAX is designed for

ultimate family convenience, and is the most powerful MPV in its class, thanks to a new fuel-

efficient 2.0L EcoBoost engine that delivers an impressive 240 PS.

Priced at RM234,988.00 on the road without insurance in Peninsular Malaysia and

RM238,288.00 in East Malaysia, the all-new S-MAX is available in three elegant colours:

Frozen White, Moondust Silver and Magnetic Grey.

“S-MAX resonates with families who need extra space and practicality and who appreciate

much more than a typical family hauler,” said David Westerman, managing director,

Malaysia and Asia Pacific Emerging Markets, Ford Motor Company. “S-MAX offers

versatility, style, comfort, efficiency and performance that is unmatched in its segment.”

Whether during a family getaway to Cameron Highlands or a weekday school run with the

kids, S-MAX enables up to seven people to travel in comfort – with Easy-Fold second and

third row seats that help to provide a remarkable 32 seating and load-space combinations.

The system allows each rear seat to be folded flat from a push-button control panel, while

the second-row and third-row seats can be folded flat at the touch of a button making instant

room for sports gear or bulky DIY purchases.

A comprehensive safety package offers drivers extra peace of mind, including seven

airbags, complemented by Ford’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ABS and other safety

technologies, as well as ISOFIX child safety mounts. The S-MAX was also recently awarded

the maximum 5-star safety rating by the Euro NCAP independent crash test authority.

Complementing this is a range of smart technologies including Ford’s SYNC 2 voice-

activated connectivity system that helps keep the driver’s eyes on the road and hands on the

wheel. The advanced system features a high-resolution, 8-inch colour touch screen and

voice control for hands-free operation of audio, temperature control and connected mobile

phone functions.

“With its multitude of seating combinations, flexible space and convenient features, the all-

new S-MAX is the ideal multi-purpose vehicle for Malaysian families,” said Syed Ahmad

Muzri Syed Faiz, managing director, Sime Darby Auto Connexion.

The S-MAX is the only MPV in its class to offer heated and cooled, 8-way powered massage

seats as standard. With Ford Multi-Contour Seats, which include an Active Motion massage

function, the S-MAX can reduce fatigue, aches and pains for both the driver and front

passenger by keeping muscles and blood vessels stimulated with the unique wave motion

delivered by inflatable cushions within the seats.


The advanced system monitors pressure in the individual cushions to feel like a single roller

subtly stretching the back, and two intensity settings can be selected from the central

touchscreen.

The S-MAX uses camera, radar, and ultrasonic devices that deliver remarkable driving

technologies to help drive and control the vehicle safely, including:

 Adaptive LED headlamp and Glare-Free Highbeam Technology – adjusts the headlight

beam angle and intensity

 Lane Keeping Alert and Aid – alerts the driver of unintended lane changes and actively

steers the car back into place

 Driver Alert – monitors driving behaviour for signs of inattentive driving and alerts the

driver to take a rest

 Curve Control and Roll Stability Control systems – which enhance vehicle stability by

adjusting engine torque and braking to help drivers maintain control
