Hybrid power for Ford’s S-Max and Galaxy

Ford has introduced a non-plug-in hybrid powertrain for its 2021 S-Max and Galaxy seven-seat MPVs.

The front-wheel drive set-up comprises a 2.5 litre four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle petrol engine, a liquid-cooled 1.1 kWh 60-cell lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and a continuously-variable automatic transmission. A regenerative braking system is also fitted, to help with recharging.
