The first generation of Galaxy Ford minivans appeared in 1995. At the same time, Volkswagen introduced its version of the VW Sharan minivan. It can be noted that the development was carried out jointly by both companies. In this regard, the interiors of the Galaxy Ford and VW Sharan are largely identical. For example, a monumental panel or a "passat" console with its famous little buttons. The cars were very similar to each other, and the developers of Ford decided to make a number of changes to the design of the car to enhance its individuality.
In 1997, the interior of the car was upgraded. It got a more classic look, plastics appeared in the design, reminiscent of metal in texture and color, the instrument panel, the shape of the seats, the steering wheel and much more were changed. Significant alterations were also made to the rear of the car, for example, the configuration of the parking lights. Summing up, we can note the advantages of the Ford Galaxy minivan (photo) - this is an excellent view from the driver's seat, ease of operation and smoothness.
On the described changesthe designers did not stop, and in 1999 the automotive market met a completely new minivan model. Now the modernization of the Galaxy Ford has been expressed in the individual features of the external appearance of the car. The design of the body and interior has been changed. Instead of smooth forms, motorists saw sharp and straight lines, rectangular optics.
In 2006, the second-generation Galaxy Ford was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show, and in 2010 this model also underwent minor changes in terms of design. The new Ford has become much larger than its predecessors, received a new engine. The appearance of the minivan is characterized by straight lines and sharp corners. The wide air intake of the bumper, chopped headlights, chrome trim - all this added a touch of a sports car to the look of the Ford Galaxy.
