Ford C-MAX, rain of technology for the most intriguing of compact cars How a myth is reborn: Ford unveils the "sketches" of the new Mustang Ford Focus, profound renewal: all Euro 6 engines and lots of technology Ford Edge, luxurious and accessible: the great SUV of the Blue Oval New Focus ST, up to performance down to fuel consumption: the Ford sports car is also diesel by Nicola Desiderio Tweet PARIS - Ford S-Max, the second generation of the sports minivan of the Blue Oval arrives at the Paris Motor Show, which was anticipated exactly a year ago by the concept of the same name, presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. So no surprise, neither for its arrival nor for the style that confirms the evolution already observed in the Fiesta, Focus and the updated C-Max that will accompany the new S-Max on the pavilions of the French event. The American becomes more sculpted and dynamic, thanks to the ribs that start from the grille and develop on the bonnet and car body while maintaining the characterization that has always distinguished the S-Max from other minivans. The only real novelty is in the lateral rectangular air vents, whose presence is underlined by a metal frame. It is controlled by voice and by foot.A step forward also for the passenger compartment, available with 5 or 7 seats with slim design seats to save space and easily foldable, to modulate all available space in 32 different ways, dividing it between passengers and luggage. The tailgate is electric "foot", both when opening and closing, while additional rear air conditioning is also available. For maximum comfort, the front seats are equipped with massage, heating, ventilation and 4-way adjustable head restraints. The strength of the materials is also guaranteed: they have been tested with over 600 spiked ball shots. Entra ed esce dai parcheggi.Many technical innovations, especially to improve visibility and safety. The S-Max is the first Ford with dynamic LED headlights with anti-glare function and with active steering, which adapts the steering ratio to the driving situations, making it more direct in maneuvering and at medium-low speed and slower in speed. There are multiple additional programs present in the ESC, starting with Curve Control, roll control and systems that mitigate the negative effects on the steering wheel caused by excessive torque and disconnections. The S-Max also has systems that monitor fatigue, blind spot, lane and also manages to transform the reading of the signals into instructions for cruise control. The parking system is very useful and now also helps to get out and, to do so in complete safety, there are the Rear Cross Alert and the double front camera, to see 180 degrees on both sides. The automatic braking system starts at 8 km / h and alerts the driver before intervening autonomously. Prima volta anche per la trazione integrale.Under the hood will be the Focus's new 120 hp 1.5 diesel plus the revamped 150 or 180 hp 2-liter diesel, also with dual-clutch Powershift gearbox. Among the petrol units are the equally new 160hp 1.5 and the 240hp 2-liter with automatic transmission. Thanks to stop & start, energy recovery, engine improvements and aerodynamics, fuel consumption and emissions dropped by an average of 7%. The suspensions have also been improved, with multilink rear ones and equipped with aluminum parts to reduce unsprung masses. Another big news, but first available on an S-Max, will be the four-wheel drive with intelligent electronic control, so as to make it an ideal vehicle for all seasons and also for the youngest. The MyKey also arrives on the S-Max, which allows you to lend the car to your children by setting some parameters of the car such as the maximum speed that can be reached, the volume of the audio system, inhibit deactivation of the stability control and prevent the car from starting if the seat belts are not fastened. The new S-Max will arrive in 2015 and only later will it be joined by the Galaxy, a true minivan. DO YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND THIS ARTICLE TO YOUR FRIENDS?
