The length, width, and height dimensions of the Ford S-MAX are 4760mm/1910mm/1640mm, which are official data. The length of the Ford S-MAX refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The naturally aspirated engine of the Ford S-MAX has a maximum power of 117.6 kW and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6800 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an automatic transmission (AT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
I remember the Ford S-Max's body dimensions were perfect for family trips, with a length of about 4.75 meters, width close to 1.91 meters, and height around 1.66 meters. I drove this car for several years, and its size was quite well-designed—it ensured spaciousness for all three rows of seats while still being easy to park in the city, unlike some oversized models that feel cumbersome. The wheelbase of approximately 2.85 meters allowed both front and rear passengers to stretch their legs comfortably, and the kids didn’t feel cramped in the back. The roof height also made it convenient for elderly passengers to get in and out. Whether dropping the kids off at school or heading out for weekend getaways, the trunk could fit several suitcases. However, you had to be a bit careful in narrow alleys, as the width took up some space. Overall, the dimensions struck a balance between practicality and driving convenience, making daily use much easier.
