Introduced in late 2015, the third-generation Ford Galaxy Mk3 is built upon the advanced CD4 platform. Offering acoustic glass, intelligent AWD options, and power-folding third-row seating, it marks the pinnacle of Ford Galaxy maintenance engineering. Production ran until 2023 as Ford shifted focus towards SUV crossovers.
Initial models utilized 2.0 TDCi engines before transitioning to the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel (150, 190, 240 hp) featuring an internal wet timing belt setup. In 2021, Ford introduced the 2.5 Duratec FHEV full hybrid variant utilizing an e-CVT and high-voltage battery setup. Transmissions evolved from 6-speed Powershift to a smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Key service items focus on the 2.0 EcoBlue wet timing belt drive and the SCR AdBlue dosing system. Short journeys cause AdBlue injector crystallization and pump failure messages. On automatic models, regular fluid refreshes ensure smooth gear shifts. Electric tailgate strut motors and SYNC 3 touchscreen modules represent minor electronic watch points.
