The S-Max is probably not long for this world. Ford is switching to an almost-all-SUV lineup, and so there’s no place left next to the hearth for a big MPV. The smaller C-Max and B-Max models have already departed this world, so the S-Max knows it’s next. Which is a shame - this is still a hugely capable and appealing car, with masses of space, great comfort, high levels of cabin quality, and handling that can be truly entertaining and engaging. It’s a better option, for most of us, than the hordes of identikit SUVs that are driving it out of the market, and we’re going to miss it when it’s gone.
