Styling – Interior and Exterior

 

As far as exterior design goes, besides getting bigger, 2016 Ford Galaxy will also get freshened up. Also influenced by the new lineup of Ford’s cars, Galaxy will get the trapezoidal stripe grille up front and should get the lower nose. Headlights will be laid-back and also swept-back windshield, will become bigger. Rear end will also get some new features, especially in Mondeo-like tail-lights, while the upright tailgate should remain similar.
7-seater’s interior won’t be radically changed in terms of material options and design as well. However, new angular flat-top dashboard might lose its sporty feel. Soft plastics will remain dominant throughout the cabin, while seats will be furbished either with cloth or leather upholstery. Touch screen and navigation aren’t standard and you’ll have to pay around $2,000 to get them both. Rear seat DVD entertainment system is also an option and features couple of small screens at the back of front-seat’s headrests. Cargo space is abundant, especially when rear seats are folded down. Thanks to the high driver position, and big windshield and tailgate window, outward visibility is good on both sides. Comfort is also held in high regard as Galaxy offers lots of adjustment for both the driver’s seat and the steering wheel.
