Used Ford S-Max Centre Console

Yes, the Ford S-Max does have a centre console — it runs between the front seats and typically houses the gear selector, storage, and armrest. It is a genuine removable/replaceable part, so used examples are available from breakers. The exact style and features of the console vary by generation and trim level, so make sure you match those carefully when sourcing a replacement.

The first-generation S-Max ran from 2006 to 2015, with a facelift arriving around 2010, and parts from within the same pre-facelift or post-facelift window are generally the most straightforward match. Crossing that 2010 facelift boundary is where fitment becomes less certain, as interior trim and console detailing can differ between the two phases. Name the facelift year and your registration when contacting the breaker, and ask them to confirm the console matches your specific build.

No — the second-generation S-Max, launched in 2015, was a completely new design with a substantially different interior architecture, so its centre console is not compatible with the first-generation (2006–2015) car. Always match the generation when sourcing this part. Give the breaker your registration so they can confirm the exact console that corresponds to your car.

Trim level can matter for the S-Max centre console because features such as the armrest, storage layout, and finish can differ between trims like Zetec and Titanium. The console will bolt into the same location, but you may notice cosmetic or minor feature differences if you mix trims. If you want an exact like-for-like match, tell the breaker your trim level as well as your generation so they can supply the closest equivalent.

The engine itself does not affect centre console fitment — the same shell and interior structure is shared across petrol and diesel variants. However, the type of gearbox (manual versus automatic) can affect the gear-selector aperture and surround in the console, so it is worth confirming with the breaker whether the console they have was from a manual or automatic car to ensure a clean fit.

This question spans the generation change, as the first-generation S-Max ran to 2015 and the second-generation also launched in 2015, meaning a 2015 car could be either generation depending on build date. A 2013 console is definitely first-generation, but whether it suits a 2015 car depends entirely on which generation your 2015 car belongs to. Provide your registration to the breaker and ask them to confirm your generation before purchasing.
