Built on the Focus platform are the Transit and Tourneo Connect vehicles, as well as the C-max. In contrast, the S-Max and Galaxy were built on the longer Mondeo platform.

Both the regular and longer Grand Tourneo Connect body lengths are available for the 2016 Ford Tourneo Connect.

The Grand Tourneo does seem to be slightly bigger than the S-max based on these measurements.
I guess it's a matter of taste in the end. While the S-Max was always intended to carry passengers, the Tourneo was conceived as a van based on the Transit connect.

The 'ramp,' as depicted in the fourth picture, consists of the board flaps that extend from the base of the seat back. When the third-row seats are up and the tailboard is opened—which I despise because it requires so much room behind it to open—the seat runners are practically hidden. In the first picture, I attempted to show it folded onto the seat back; in the second, I simply let it go wherever it wants. I can't really show you anything that isn't already in the pictures, but I figured the tape measure would give you a good idea of the sizes to work with when you see them online, even though it's highly unlikely that you live near me. As shown in picture 1, the measurement in picture 3 is taken with the 'flap' folded out of the way. Therefore, when the seats are fully reclined, it is essentially a matter of the width of the plastic trim, at most.
The lack of a spare wheel is another concern of mine. If you find them annoying, they dangle beneath the car. In picture 3, the circular object next to the measuring tape represents the nut or whatever is used to remove the bolt that secures it. It shares the same fundamental concept as the original Puma, the mk1 Ka, the mk3/4 Fiesta, and a plethora of 'French' 80s products.
