The Galaxy uses predominantly Volkswagen mechanicals, most notably the 2.8-litre VR6 petrol engine from the top versions of the Golf, as well as VW's 1.9-litre turbodiesel unit. Initially only the 2.0-litre Straight-4 petrol version used a Ford powerplant - this is derived from the familiar Pinto DOHC family. In later years this unit was supplemented by a 2.3-litre 16-valve version first seen in the facelifted Scorpio. This engine was unique to the Ford Galaxy; similarly, this was the case with the 1.8-litre 20-valve turbocharged petrol engine offered in the Volkswagen Sharan and SEAT Alhambra. // Description VR6 is an engine configuration developed by the Volkswagen Group. ...

The new Galaxy is larger than its predecessor and haves four A-Pillar (car) , and is an entirely Ford design, with no Volkswagen content. No longer produced in Portugal, Europe's replacement Galaxy is assembled at a newly re-equipped plant alongside the Mondeo in eastern Belgium. With the smaller S-MAX taking up the three seating rows- compact MPV side of the market, Ford was able to expand the Galaxy in every dimension without losing sales in size-conscious Europe. The 2007 Galaxy is also entirely different from its predecessor, and is intended to be more mainstream than the sportier S-MAX.
