One major selling point of the S-MAX is its "FoldFlatSystem". This design allows the second and third-row seats to fold flat into the floor. The small third row leads Ford to classify the vehicle as a "5+2", meaning that the rear seats are only for occasional use, and are a no cost delete option, replaced with a sliding cargo tray. In countries other than the U.K. the third row seats are a "Cost" option, as is the sliding cargo tray. |

Features
The S-MAX is the first vehicle to feature Ford's Kinetic design styling. A replacement for the New Edge design started in the late 1990s, kinetic design debuted with the Ford SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) concept car at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show and on which the S-MAX is based. It includes angular headlights, a narrow grille, side air vents and large trapezoidal "mouth" below the bumper.
One major selling point of the S-MAX is its "FoldFlatSystem". This design allows the second and third-row seats to fold flat into the floor. The small third row leads Ford to classify the vehicle as a "5+2", meaning that the rear seats are only for occasional use, and are a no cost delete option, replaced with a sliding cargo tray. In countries other than the U.K. the third row seats are a "Cost" option, as is the sliding cargo tray.
There are three versions of the S-Max, Ambiente, Trend, and the high-end Titanium.
