The petrol 1.5 SCTi Ecoboost has 160 hp, and the larger 2.0 SCTi has 240 hp, but only have an automatic transmission. At launch, Ford expected only two percent of United Kingdom sales to be petrol models.[2]The 2.0 TDCi 150 HP and 180 HP versions come with either a six-speed manual transmission or the automatic transmission – the 180 hp version can also feature all-wheel drive]. The most expensive twin-Turbo 2.0 210 hp comes with the automatic transmission only, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 in under nine seconds.
The trim levels are similar to the ones in the S-Max, Mondeo and Edge, including Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X.
Ford updated the Galaxy for 2020. It received a new front grille and bumpers with a similar design as the Mondeo, Focus, Fiesta, Puma and Kuga.[3][4]
