"The Ford C-MAX is a practical, good-looking and well-to-drive small MPV. If you are after a car of this type , it is well worth considering. "
you could argue that the Ford C-MAX is a another form of crossover. Not in the sense that it blurs the boundaries between family hatchback and rough, hard SUV, but that it. Some of the qualities of a traditional small family sedan combined with some of the practicality of an MPV
While it definitely more practical than the sedan Ford Focus, on which it is based, the C-MAX court can not seven, so it's not quite as versatile as the likes of the Citroen C4 Picasso, Vauxhall Zafira Tourer or Volkswagen Touran. Direct competitors for the five-seat C-MAX are the Citroen C4 Picasso, Volkswagen Golf SV and Renault Scenic.
The Ford does benefit from the higher roofline and slightly elevated driving position that you find in traditional MPV, while you can remove the rear seats individually to wear some really big loads. Of course you can also fold flat each. In top-spec models, you can also use the central rear seat passengers slide back to give more space in the two outer rear seats.

Under the hood there is a choice of three petrol and three diesel engines. There are two 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol, developing 99 and 123bhp. If you can stretch it, we would recommend the latter, as you get a significant amount in the running costs of extra power without penalty (on paper at least). Both return emit 55.4mpg fuel consumption and 117g / km CO2. This means that you will be liable for £ 30 a year each road tax bill.
We would definitely avoid the naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol, but, as it is not as fast as by far the 1.0-liter gasoline, but also much more expensive, more to run.
However, most buyers are likely to go for a diesel, because the size and weight of the C-MAX makes it better suited for a diesel of the wider spread of power. These engines cost less to run as well. There are two 1.5-liter, producing 103 and 118bhp respectively and a 148bhp 2.0-liter.

, the mid-range 148bhp 1.5 liter is our selection of the route, as it offers the best combination of performance and fuel economy, returning 68.9mpg on average, while the CO2 emissions of 105g / km means it would cost just £ 20 per year in road tax. It should be a fairly cost-effective company car, also thanks to this low CO2 emissions that they put in the 21% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) company car tax band.
You may be surprised to learn that the C-MAX actually pretty good fun to drive. It is based on the same mechanical bits and pieces such as the Ford Focus (one of the best cars to drive in its class), and it's almost like driving entertaining. The steering is very precise, and despite the additional amount, it is not too much in the corners not lean.
One could expect to maintain as the slim body in check, the suspension would have to be uncomfortable stiff, but that's not necessarily the case. The ride, while undeniably fixed is not so uncomfortable, most of the hard edges smooth from the streets of the British
Each of the three trim levels -. Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X - is quite well equipped to get with all models air conditioning, DAB radio and alloy wheels. We would recommend enhanced mid-range titanium, but as you get some useful additional features, including dual-zone automatic air conditioning, extra cubbyholes, cruise control and automatic headlights and windscreen wipers.
There are a few disappointing omissions of equipment lists, however. None of the equipment levels has satellite navigation or parking sensors - but both of which optional extras are actually should as a standard somewhere in the range are available
Although in isolation, the 1.0-liter petrol engines are excellent, they "re. beginning a somewhat suspect to develop reliability record, supported by a poor performance for the C-MAX in our 2016 driver power customer satisfaction survey on. It ended a disappointing 134th (of 150 cars), while Ford itself was 27 ( 32) with special emphasis on poor reliability record.
security much should not be of concern, but thanks to a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, while Standard safety equipment is quite good. Obviously, the C-MAX all the required safety kit: a plurality of air bags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring system and ISOFIX child seat attachment points
They also get electronic brake. Force distribution (the amount varies going to each wheel to give braking force, an optimum braking performance) and Emergency Brake Assist, which automatically applies the maximum amount of braking force the car is capable of, when it detects you try to perform an emergency stop.
