Ford S-MAX Concept

The Ford S-MAX Concept is a prototype that has a similar design to that will replace the current S-MAX (more information).

The engine in this prototype belongs to the family of engines that Ford calls "EcoBoost". Is gasoline, has 1.5 liters of displacement and supercharging with a turbocharger. Ford does not indicate its power.

In the cabin there are three rows of seats that can be configured to provide four to seven seats. The last row seats are thinner than the rest, so that the action of folding them and deploy them (they hide in the soil) easier. The center seat in the second row is smaller than the sides. This seat can also be folded and leave flush with the ground.

In the console there is a screen in which, depending on the angle you look at it, it displays one or other information. It is a solution that already exists in currently shipping models like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Land Rover Range Rover.



 This prototype is a system to exchange information with other vehicles with the same system. The purpose of this technology is to create a communication network that shows drivers the incidents that have occurred to the road you are driving.

Other safety features are a pedestrian detection system capable of intervening in the brake system in the event that the impact is imminent a cross-traffic alert warns of the presence of vehicles that may cross our path when exiting reversing a battery-parking and a parking attendant not only controls the steering wheel, but also the accelerator and brake.

Ford highlights of this prototype a new generation of the "SYNC"-a multimedia system that allows access to the Internet and social networks among other things, and its integration with a seat that can measure the heart rate of the driver and detect possible heart failure. In addition, there is a function called "Glucose Level Monitoring", also connected with "SYNC", which identifies the glucose level of the rear passengers and alarm if it detects an alteration of normal levels (Ford does not explain how).
