Ford puts a price on Galaxy

£19,495-worth of family fun
A depressing double dose of dreary driving dynamics coupled with the
humbling realisation that your filth-'n-fungus-infested family ride is
about as foxy as a used colostomy bag. That’s MPV ownership for you.
But if your over-active loins have boxed you into a people
carrier-shaped corner, you may as well salvage some self respect by
bagging the best of the breed. Whether the all new Galaxy is just that,
no-one outside Ford currently knows. But it is big and extremely well
appointed inside. So, for now we’ll settle for the pricing info Ford
has announced for the UK. The Galaxy can be yours for as little as
£19,495…
That buys you the entry level 143bhp 2.0-litre petrol powered LX, while the full range is capped by the £23,995 2.0TDCi oil burner in 141bhp Ghia trim. Both of which are within spitting distance of the equivalent Renault Espace. But unlike that genre-defining Frenchie freightliner, Ford doesn’t offer six-cylinder diesel or petrol options. It’s four-banger fun or nothing.
