Ford has made major adjustments to the range of its seven-seater minivan. The offer of Ford Galaxy it has been remarkably reduced. And it is that the brand with the blue oval has withdrawn the diesel engines from the configurator, leaving the self-recharging hybrid mechanics as the only option. In this way, the hybrid technology (HEV) happens to hold all the prominence.
It is still possible to find units of the Galaxy with a diesel engine. A block 2.0 TDCi that had been offering in 150 CV and 190 CV.

What’s more, the Ford S-Max has suffered the same fate and is now only offered with a hybrid powertrain.

The hybrid engine of the Ford Galaxy
Taking into account that conventional mechanics have disappeared from the Galaxy range, how is the only motorization that remains available? Ford’s minivan is betting everything on electrification and can only be configured with a hybrid mechanics. A propulsion system that develops a power of 190 hp and 200 Nm of maximum torque.
Under the hood is a 2.5-liter Duratec gasoline engine. A four-cylinder block that is accompanied by a small electric motor. All this is managed through a CVT type gearbox. Power is sent to the front axle. Most importantly, a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery allows you to enjoy a small autonomy in 100% electric mode.
