Detailed analysis of the Ford S-MAX Vignale 2.0 EcoBoost 240 CV Aut. 5 plazas (2015-2019)
General description
The Ford S-MAX Vignale is not just any minivan; it's a statement of intent. It represents the bold idea that a family vehicle can be spacious and practical without sacrificing a sporty soul and a luxurious heart. It's the car for the family man or woman who refuses to hang up their driving gloves, offering a haven of comfort and dynamism on every journey.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the S-MAX Vignale makes you forget you're driving a vehicle nearly 4.8 meters long. The 241 HP 2.0 EcoBoost engine pushes with a force and smoothness that pins you to your seat, making overtaking a mere formality. Its surprisingly agile chassis carves through corners with a precision that defies its size, supported by a suspension that masterfully balances passenger comfort and driver firmness. It's a feeling of control and power that is both thrilling and confidence-inspiring in equal measure.
Design and aesthetics
The Vignale trim dresses the S-MAX in a haute couture suit. The chrome hexagonal grille, exclusive details, and 18-inch wheels give it an imposing and sophisticated presence. But it's inside where the magic happens: the quilted leather covering the seats and dashboard, the handcrafted stitching, and the attention to detail create an atmosphere of luxury and warmth. Every inch is designed to delight the senses, transforming the cabin into a first-class rolling lounge.
Technology and features
Equipped to conquer long distances, the S-MAX Vignale integrates technology that makes life easier and safer. The SYNC multimedia system, although from a previous generation, centralizes navigation and entertainment intuitively. However, it's the driving assistants that truly shine, with adaptive cruise control and a lane-keeping system that turn highway trips into a relaxed and serene experience, allowing you to enjoy the scenery and company.
Competition
In its quest to combine space and sportiness, the S-MAX Vignale faced formidable rivals. The Volkswagen Sharan and SEAT Alhambra perhaps offered a more modular and cavernous interior space, but they lacked its driving spark. On the other hand, the Renault Espace of the time opted for a similar premium crossover-minivan concept, becoming its most direct competitor in philosophy and style, although the Ford always maintained an edge in pure dynamism.
Conclusion
The Ford S-MAX Vignale is a rare gem in the automotive market. It is irrefutable proof that functionality does not have to be at odds with passion. It is a vehicle that takes care of your family with generous space and notable safety, but it also takes care of you, the driver, by giving you a driving experience that will make you wish the journey would never end. It is, in essence, a grand tourer disguised as a minivan.
