Used Ford S-MAX 2007 - Spacious MPV for Sale

A used Ford S-MAX in Portugal costs between €8,000 for 2015-2017 models and over €30,000 for recent Vignale or ST-Line versions. The 2.0 EcoBlue 150 hp from 2019-2021 with 60,000-90,000 km typically costs €18,000-€25,000. With discontinuation in 2023, the last models may hold their value well.

The 2nd generation Ford S-MAX offers the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel with 150 hp and 190 hp, and the 2.5 Hybrid with 190 hp (FHEV) in Portugal. The diesel with 6-speed PowerShift gearbox is the best-selling version. All-wheel drive AWD is available on the 190 hp diesel variant.

Common issues include the PowerShift dual-clutch automatic with vibrations and hesitations, AdBlue consumption on diesels, and shock absorber and spring wear (especially with frequent 7-passenger loads). The 2.0 EcoBlue engine is generally robust and efficient.

The S-MAX wins on driving dynamics (the sportiest MPV), the Touran on practicality and interior modularity, and the Alhambra on 7-passenger space with sliding doors. The S-MAX is ideal for those wanting a family car with character who don't want a conventional SUV.

The best years are 2019-2023 (facelift) with the mature EcoBlue engine and updated safety equipment. The Hybrid model (2021+) is particularly efficient in city driving. Avoid 2015-2016 models with early-batch PowerShift gearboxes. As a discontinued model, the final years will become increasingly valued.

Yes, the S-MAX is excellent for families with its standard 7 seats, 2,020-litre maximum boot space, and car-like driving dynamics unusual for an MPV. Unlike SUVs, it has a low loading height and rear seats that fold flat. It is one of the best choices for Portuguese families who want space without the bulk of an SUV.
