Ford Galaxy MPV (2006-2015) - MPG, running costs & CO2
The Ford Galaxy can be specified with a 2.0-litre diesel engine that provides good power and fuel economy
If you're looking for performance from your Ford Galaxy and aren't bothered about big bills, then the 2.0-litre petrol is a decent engine, but it can't compete with diesels when it comes to low running costs. Fuel consumption is pretty heavy at 34.9mpg, while CO2 emissions of 189g/km mean road tax will cost £265 every year.
The most economical Galaxy is the 1.6-litre diesel model, which can achieve 54mpg and costs £130 to tax annually. However, it’s quite slow, so we’d recommend going for the mid-range 2.0-litre diesel. It feels significantly quicker and can still return 53.3mpg and has CO2 emissions that mean road tax will cost £145 a year. There’s also a 2.2-litre diesel option, which matches the 2.0-litre petrol’s performance, but can achieve 41.5mpg economy.

Ford Galaxy used values
The Ford depreciates quicker than the Volkswagen Sharan, which might put some buyers off. The mid-range diesel offers the best residuals and should be worth 42% of its original purchase price after three years or 36,000 miles.
Ford Galaxy insurance group
Insurance ratings for the Galaxy range from group 16 for the 1.6-litre diesel model to group 26 for the fast 2.0-litre petrol.
