FORD ANNOUNCES VALUE PRICING FOR SPORTY S-MAX MPV
GENEVA , 28 February, 2006 – Ford has today announced that the price of its new seven-seat sporty S-MAX people carrier will start at £16,767 including a comprehensive array of safety and convenience equipment.
Unveiled at the Geneva Show today, the S-MAX range goes on sale in the UK in June. Ford's acclaimed Shared Technologies strategy, which spreads the cost of new technology features over a variety of models and brands, has allowed the S-MAX to combine high quality interior and exterior values with aggressive pricing.
The S-MAX follows the successful launch of the Focus ST , which received an enthusiastic reception from customers, dealers and media, for its entry price of £17,495. The Focus ST has been described as "the best hot hatch on sale right now" by Autocar magazine.
