Costa Mesa & Huntington Beach Ford C-Max

CMAX

Ford has announced its intentions to place a lot of focus on hybrid and electric vehicles over the next five years. With the C-Max, it has already set solid foundations to dominate this market in the medium-to-long-term future.

The Ford C-Max used to be available as both a hybrid and electric model, although the latter was dropped recently.

For now, the new C-Max you’ll be able to get your hands on is the hybrid hatchback.

In spite of Ford’s promises to own this market in coming years, it’s currently just this eye-catching vehicle and the Ford Fusion that comprises the manufacturer’s hybrid offerings.

There are just two trims available with the latest version of the C-Max too. Nevertheless, they’re both worth a look if you’re in the market for a reliable hybrid vehicle. All the advantages of driving a hybrid exist in abundance with this car.

The C-Max boasts a powerful powertrain

The highlight of this vehicle is the powertrain. It incorporates a 2.0-liter I-4 engine teamed with an electric motor. You’ll get 188 horsepower from the system, propelling you from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.1 seconds. The total driving range is 540 miles.

Comfort

As well as the added energy-efficiency, hybrid drivers tend to appreciate a quieter, more comfortable ride. The Ford C-Max certainly provides that. The vehicle comfortably seats a driver and four passengers, while there is 25 cubic feet of space for your cargo in the trunk.

Drivers will appreciate the quality of the materials used for the interiors, plus the handling seems to be a touch more intuitive than the vehicle’s immediate rivals.

A whole host of features

The base trim offers 17-inch aluminum wheels, a power-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. The infotainment system can connect to your phone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning it’s easy to blast your favorite songs while navigating the city roads.

The superior trim, named the C-Max Titanium, adds an improved nine-speaker Sony audio system for true aural perfection. You’ll also be able to access luxury features such as rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and heated front seats. The exterior of the Titanium trim is improved by a chrome grille.

If you’re new to the world of hybrid vehicles, but retain the curiosity to learn more, it’s worth booking a test-drive with an experienced expert at a local dealership. These experts will be able to explain in detail why the Cmax has transformed the hybrid market. Plus, you’ll be able to feel the difference yourself.
