Powoduje to, że koncerny samochodowe poszerzają swoją ofertę produktową o coraz to nowsze egzemplarze, które cieszą się sporą popularnością na rynku wtórnym. Auta te cechuje przestronność i wysoki komfort jazdy. Jeśli do tego oferują również dobre osiągi, właściwości jezdne i niebanalny wygląd – czego chcieć więcej? Nie inaczej jest z produkowaną w latach 2010 – 2015 drugą generacją Forda C-Max. Posiada on wiele zalet na swoim koncie, a pochlebne opinie o tym modelu rozchodziły się szerokim echem już od daty jego premiery. Co takiego wyjątkowego jest w drugiej generacji C-Maxa i czy faktycznie lista jego zalet jest tak długa, że można przymknąć oko na jego drobne wady? Sprawdzimy to w poniższym artykule. Sylwetka modelu Ford C-Max drugiej generacji został zaprezentowany w 2009 roku podczas targów motoryzacyjnych we Frankfurcie i produkowany był do roku 2015. Założeniem producentów było stworzenie nieco większego i bardzo funkcjonalnego samochodu, który będzie się prowadził z równą łatwością co jego osobowy odpowiednik. To przestronne, przynależące do segmentu C (minivan) auto, podobnie jak swój poprzednik bazuje na płycie podłogowej zapożyczonej od Forda Focusa III (Ford Global C-car platform). W kwestiach wielkości odpowiada swoim rynkowym konkurentom takim jak Renault Scenic czy Opel Meriva. Analizowany model mierzy 4380 mm długości, 1828 mm szerokości oraz 1626 mm wysokości. Dla naprawdę wymagających osób, oczekujących dużych przestrzeni producent postanowił wypuścić na rynek również większą wersję, funkcjonującą pod nazwą Grand C-Max. We wrześniu 2014 roku zaprezentowano zmodernizowane modele C-Max i Grand C-Max. W samochodach pojawiły się między innymi reflektory z ledowymi światłami, zmieniono kształt tylnej klapy oraz osłony chłodnicy. Nie ma się co dziwić, że to właśnie modele po faceliftingu są najchętniej kupowanymi egzemplarzami na rynku wtórnym. Druga generacja utrzymywana jest w podobnym tonie i charakterze co jej poprzednia wersja. W dalszym ciągu jest to dobrze wyglądające, pojemne i wręcz idealne dla rodzinnych wypraw auto. Ceny za używanego C-Maxa na portalach aukcyjnych wahają się od 30 000 zł, nawet do 65 000 zł za nowsze egzemplarze. Ford C-Max II (2010-2015) Ford Grand C-Max II (2010-2015) Stylistyka i wersje nadwoziowe C-Max drugiej generacji zaprojektowany jest zgodnie z nurtem „Kinetic Design”. Należy przyznać, że projektanci spisali się na medal, projektując tak zgrabne i ładne auto. Jest on zaprzeczeniem powszechniej opinii auta rodzinnego – auta nudnego. Nadwozie analizowanego modelu charakteryzuje się przetłoczeniami i ostrymi krawędziami, które nadają mu nieco agresywnego charakteru. Z przodu oprócz uwidocznionych, mocno wciętych świateł znajdziemy również ciekawie wyglądający grill oraz wlot powietrza do chłodnicy w kształcie trapezu. Na rynku znaleźć możemy dwie wersje: podstawową (5-drzwiową), oraz wspominaną już wcześniej, wydłużoną o 12 cm. (7-miejscową) wersję znaną pod nazwą Grand C-Max. W tym przypadku większa przestronność samochodu zdecydowanie wygrywa z jego kwestiami stylistycznymi. Grand poprzez swoje rozmiary stracił na dynamicznym wyglądzie nadwozia. Wnętrze Wnętrze analizowanego modelu zasługuje na pochwałę. Wykonane zostało z solidnych materiałów i stosunkowo dobrze znosi upływ czasu. Po modernizacji w 2014 roku wewnątrz samochodu pojawił się dotykowy ekran systemu multimedialnego SYNC2 o przekątnej 8 cali, który w swych właściwościach zastąpił również częściowo większość przycisków sterujących. Wnętrze jest przestronne, nowoczesne i funkcjonalne. Wszelkiego rodzaju wykończenia odznaczają się dobrym designem i dużą starannością wykonania. W drugim rzędzie C-Maxa znajdziemy trzy oddzielnie składane fotele. Ich układ możemy dostosowywać – składać i rozkładać – w zależności od naszych wymagań. Wszystko to stworzone idealnie dla przewiezienia większych rodzinnych bagaży. Doskonale sprawdzającym się rozwiązaniem było zamontowanie w 7-osobowej wersji Grand, przesuwanych drzwi oraz umożliwienie łatwego złożenia środkowego fotela znajdującego się w drugim rzędzie. Dzięki temu dostęp do ostatniego rzędu siedzeń jest wygodny i nie sprawia większych problemów. Rozwiązanie to nabiera dodatkowego znaczenia gdy z tyłu znajdują się foteliki dla dzieci. Minimalna wielkość przestrzeni bagażowej w C-Maxie wynosi 432 litry. Gdy zdecydujemy się na złożenie miejsc siedzących, jej pojemność wzrasta do 1684 litrów. W przypadku wersji Grand standardowa pojemność wynosi 56 litrów (7 miejsc) lub 439 litrów (5 miejsc). Przy złożonych wszystkich tylnych siedzeniach, właściciele Grand C-Maxa dysponować mogą bagażnikiem mieszczącym aż 1706 litra. Wielkość ta z powodzeniem pozwoli na przewiezienie dużych rodzinnych bagaży czy wielkogabarytowych paczek. Ford C-Max II (2010-2015) Ford Grand C-Max II (2010-2015) Ford Grand C-Max (2010-2015) Wersje silnikowe Wśród silników benzynowych, nabywcy mogą zdecydować się na dwie jednostki: l. Duratec, o mocy: 85 KM, 105 KM lub 125 KM oraz l. EcoBoost, o mocy 150 KM lub 185 KM. Z diesli wybierać można spośród jednostek: l. TDCi o mocy 95 lub 115 KM, oraz l. TDCi o mocy 115, 140 lub 163 KM. Dostępne na rynku benzyniaki o wyższych mocach notują bardzo dobre osiągi, jeśli jednak chcemy zaoszczędzić trochę pieniędzy na paliwie – warto zainteresować się słabszymi dieslami. Silnik l. o mocy 115 KM spala średnio ok. 7 l/100 km w trybie miejskim i ok. l/100 km w trasie. Na rynku najczęściej możemy spotkać wersję samochodu z silnikiem diesla, a polecany motor to TDCi. Napęd w analizowanym modelu przekazywany może być przez 5 lub 6-stopniową skrzynię biegów. Dla zwolenników automatycznej skrzyni – dostępna jest przekładnia PowerShift o 6 przełożeniach. Układ kierowniczy, układa zawieszenia, układ hamulcowy Układ zawieszenia w drugiej generacji C-Maxa, podczas jazdy spisuje się na medal. Doskonale wchodzi w ostre zakręty, jest stabilny i bezpieczny. Dzięki niezależnemu zawieszeniu na kolumnach MacPhersona z przodu oraz niezależnemu, wielowahaczowemu (z powiększonymi amortyzatorami) z tyłu, analizowany model bardzo dobrze radzi sobie ze wszelkimi nierównościami napotkanymi na drodze. Złego słowa nie można powiedzieć również o układzie kierowniczym i hamulcowy. Wszystkie trzy świetnie współgrają ze sobą podczas jazdy, czyniąc ją komfortową, a przede wszystkim bezpieczną. Warianty wyposażenia Analizowany model to naprawdę bogato wyposażone auto. Producenci wypuścili na rynek C-Maxa i jego powiększonego brata wraz z czterema różnymi wariantami wyposażenia. Niezależnie na który model się zdecydujemy, możemy wybierać spośród wariantów: Ambiente, Trend, Edition (edycja limitowana) oraz Titanium. Już w podstawowej wersji znajdziemy nawigację satelitarną, odtwarzacz MP3, centralny zamek, elektrycznie sterowane lusterka i przednie szyby czy elektrycznie sterowany bagażnik. Nieco droższa wersja „Trend” doposażona jest również w manualną klimatyzacje, podgrzewane lusterko i dodatkowe gniazdko o mocy 12 V, dla pasażerów zajmujących miejsce w drugim rzędzie. Wersja Titanium jest najdroższa, ale w swojej ofercie zawiera dodatkowo dwustrefową klimatyzację, ledowe oświetlenie wnętrza samochodu, czujniki deszczu, czujniki zmierzchu, podgrzewaną przednią szybę, panoramiczny dach, system kontroli martwego pola w bocznych lusterkach (BLIS) i układ ułatwiający ruszanie z miejsca na wzniesieniu (HSA). Dodatkowo w wyposażeniu znajdują się również rzeczy niezbędne w punktu widzenia bezpieczeństwa. Samochód wyposażony jest między innymi w poduszki powietrzne czołowe i boczne, systemy ABS, EBD, ESP, EBA, fotele wyprofilowane w ten sposób, aby uniemożliwić przypadkowe wysunięcie się pasażera spod pasów podczas wypadku , dobrze wyprofilowane zagłówki chroniące kręgi szyjne czy automatyczne światła awaryjne. Ford C-Max II (2010-2015) Najczęstsze usterki Pomimo licznych zalet, które można zapisać na korzyść C-Maxa, nie możemy zapomnieć o kilku poważnych usterkach, z którymi się zmaga. Częstym uszkodzeniom ulega czujnik prędkości wałka w skrzyni Powershift czy przekładnia kierownicza. Nierzadko dochodzi do rozszczelnienia układu klimatyzacji czy problemów z hamulcem pomocniczym. W przypadku awarii silników słono możemy zapłacić za naprawdę sterownika w wolnossącej jednostce o pojemności l. Bezpieczeństwo Producenci wyposażyli analizowane auto w szereg systemów wspomagających bezpieczeństwo podczas jazdy. Wśród nich wymienić możemy: system informujący o innych pojazdach znajdujących się na drodze, który okazuje się bardzo pomocny podczas parkowania samochodu tyłem, czy system zapobiegania kolizjom – w przypadku gdy znajdziemy się blisko drugiego samochodu, czynność hamowania zostanie automatycznie wykonana za kierowcę. Dzięki solidnej konstrukcji samochodu oraz jego licznym, dodatkowym systemom bezpieczeństwa, auto podczas testów EURO NCAP uzyskało maksymalną notę pięciu gwiazdek. Poniżej przedstawiamy filmik crushtestu. Konkurenci Wśród rynkowych konkurentów C-Maxa możemy wyróżnić takie modele jak: Opel Zafira, Renault Scenic, Opel Meriva, Citroen C4 Picasso czy Toyota Verso. C-Max wyróżnia się wśród swoich rywali nadzwyczajnymi właściwościami jezdnymi, doskonałym układem jezdnym oraz wysokimi kwestiami bezpieczeństwa. Pomimo tego, że nie jest najtańszym egzemplarzem wśród swoich konkurentów (Renault Scenic można kupić od 20 000 zł.), to doskonale radzi sobie na rynku i nadal jest bardzo chętnie kupowanym czterokołowcem. Citroen C4 Picasso II (2013 -) Opel Zafira B (2005-2014) Podsumowanie Ford C-Max drugiej generacji jest autem udanym pod wieloma względami. Przede wszystkim odznacza się ciekawym wyglądem, wysokiej jakości wykonaniem, doskonałymi właściwościami jezdnymi oraz zaawansowanymi kwestiami bezpieczeństwa. Dodając do tego przestronność kabiny pasażerskiej, jej funkcjonalność oraz ogólny komfort jazdy – C-Max jak i Grand C-Max wydają się być propozycją wartą zwrócenia uwagi. Wszelkie rozwiązania zostały opracowane w ten sposób, aby były one jak najbardziej funkcjonalne dla rodzin z dziećmi, dlatego też analizowany model doskonale sprawdzi się w służbie większej rodziny. Zniechęcać do zakupu może lista poważnych i dość kosztowych usterek, z którymi boryka się C-Max. Nie ma jednak samochodu bez wad, a lista „niedociągnięć” analizowanego modelu na szczęście nie jest długa. Jeżeli więc szukasz ładnego, nowoczesnego, bezpiecznego i pakownego samochodu – C-Max jest propozycją, którą z pewnością powinieneś się zainteresować.

Viewing 32 posts - 1 through 32 (of 32 total) Kuga v Cmax v Grand Cmax – help me decide New car time and looking for either hands on experience or informed enlightenment. I have a 10 year old Mondeo and whilst it’s a nice car to drive and has good gadgets I’ve never really got on with it over 8 years of owning it, like I did with the Focus I had before it. I think I’ve narrowed down my lack of like for it to its size. I find it too long. I have to park on side streets near work and I don’t think that’s helping much so I’m wanting to get a smaller car this time around, but I have a family to fit in. Kids are 6 and 8, and as I intend to keep this car for another 6-8 years again this car needs to fit teenagers in at some point. It needs to have a big enough boot for stuff we use at the moment like bikes etc. Anyone got any nuggets of advice? Anyone got any of these and have a similar scenario to me? How do you find them etc etc? Posted 5 years ago Despised our CMAX, worst car I’ve ever owned and was glad to be rid of it though we had loads of trouble with the engine. Size wise it was adequate for me, my wife and our two boys at the time along with their bikes in the ample boot. A more modern version would no doubt be a worthy purchase and it wasn’t overly big either, same footprint as a focus if I remember correctly?? Posted 5 years ago We find the C-max big enough for our needs – family of four, camping trips to France with bikes etc. We use a roof box and a towbar rack as needed. It’s no harder to park than a Focus but is bigger inside. You could look at the Focus estate as well. I drove it to the Alps overnight a couple of years back and it was absolutely fine. Posted 5 years ago How do you find the Cmax in the back for the kids? Knee room ok? Our neighbours had a focus and said the legroom in the back was not enough for their 8 year old so changed it for a Mazda 6. Posted 5 years ago Advertisements We have a petrol Grand Cmax. It’s slow to accelerate but once it’s going is great . Loads of usable space and is shorter than a mondeo which we previously had. Great rear leg room (at least a foot)though I did take out the third row of seats so we could have a spare wheel. Love the sliding doors. Our next car will be another one. Posted 5 years ago We had a 53 regarding CMAX, it was OK, nice place to be but the air con died and the petrol was a thirsty beast. We had a look at the new ones over the summer and thought the space was good, but the interior was a bit low rent. Brand new ones might be better though Posted 5 years ago How do you find the Cmax in the back for the kids? Knee room ok? I’ve sat in the back and it seems ok. Having said that, I’m not tall so it might be a squeeze if the front seats are pushed right back. The rear seats do slide back but that eats into boot space so I don’t tend to bother – my kids are too young for it to be an issue anyway. One thing that I like – the individually removeable rear seats mean I can carry the two kids and fit my bike between them (with the wheels off). Posted 5 years ago Wife’s 08 plate CMax was worst car we’ve had, even more unreliable than the Scenic it replaced. Bought ex-demo nearly new and we sold it when the warranty ran out. petrol and it averaged 24mpg over the 30k miles. Many many parts were replaced under warranty and it broke down a few times. Replaced with a Soul which has been better in every way. Not much boot space so for the OP question, I’d be looking at Kia/Hyundai options with 5/7 year warranty Posted 5 years ago 24mpg!!!! Our LWB T5 converted van gets 34mpg. We’ve just changed from a Focus estate which averaged 53mpg over 6 years (mileage against actual fuel use). Posted 5 years ago On my second cmax both from new. First was a 61 plate petrol. Was nice but lacked a bit of acceleration did about 28k in two years but turned it over for another 63 plate diesel which has a lot more acceleration. I get 48mpg out of it according to the trip computer which I’ve checked. I’m on 40k in three years on this car. I have two teenagers and regularly head off camping and carry 4 bikes on a tow bar rack. I usually use a roof box when camping. It all fits in along with the four of us who are all adult sized with wriggle room. I regularly stick two bikes in the boot (with all seats in but two lifted) in order to go riding with my son. It will fit a single bike in the boot with all seats up. Funnily enough I’ve been thinking about what I would replace it with and come up with …… well, if I was desperate to change model then a Focus estate, and if I really didn’t want to go Ford again then maybe a civic estate? I did want a Kuga but they were tiny inside and a grand cmax was just too much of a franken car to my eyes 🙂 Posted 5 years ago Have you considered the B-Max? It’s Fiesta based, instead of Focus, it’s neatest feature are the sliding rear doors, which allow better access to the rear seats, along with a big rear hatch. I’ve driven two so far, and they were really fun to drive, had heated screens and various other nice bits and bobs. Nice driving position and great on twisty roads. I’ll be driving a Grand C-Max tomorrow, so it’ll be interesting to do a bit of a comparison, although the B-Max was a 13-plate and the C-Max is a 16-plate. Posted 5 years ago Just bought a 14 plate cmax (non grand) From 2010 onwards is the current shape, and this year they did a facelift but essentially same I think I would agree the interior is not quite vw feel, go for the titanium for better stereo and gadgets. The basic zetec spec is not that great. Not sure about the kuga, just don’t want an SUV at all so I didn’t look at it. I expect it’s not as roomy as the cmax though Also worth looking at the touran but expect to pay £5k more. I much preferred the drive of the cmax over the touran which feels more bus like, because it is! So far I’m enjoying the cmax. I’ve got the ecoboost which is surprisingly nippy. Mpg is a bit disappointing, best I’m getting is about 35 around town and 45 on motorway so nowhere near the claimed figures. Otherwise it’s a great car, fingers crossed it’ll i won’t need the warranty! Posted 5 years ago Good to see there are some good things regarding the Cmax and space etc. I can’t see me ever needing to pack camping stuff as my wife hates it. Caravans might be different but camping is a no go. Hopefully the boot will be big enough for all our stuff. I’ve had 3 Ford’s and so has my wife so I’m fully aware the quality isn’t perfect but it’s good enough for us I think. Titanium spec might be a good option though. Posted 5 years ago Kuga is way smaller inside and in the boot than the size of the car seems to be… seats felt quite stiff/firm and not as plush as the Mondeos. Posted 5 years ago I quite like my wife’s 57 plate cmax four our family of 4 + dog. petrol is quite thirsty and costs a fortune to tax but so far it has been reliable, and we’ll keep it ’til it dies I think. We have to park in the street and the small size is a bonus. I’ve got a 99 VW T4 and the cmax is a pleasure to drive compared to that! Posted 5 years ago How tall are your kids? The leg room in the back of the Kuga is not great. Also, the mk1 has a narrow boot entry so it’s had to get wide things into it. It’s a great 2-person car, not so sure for a family. Posted 5 years ago Similar thought processes resulted in me getting a Yeti which I am very happy with. Posted 5 years ago we have a 60 plate C-Max zetec we’ve had it for 3 years and its been good so far. economy wise the best i’ve managed out of it is about 39mpg…if its driven enthusiastically then that drops down to about 35mppg its not the highest spec…rear windows are manual..no cruise control or bluetooth…but its does us just fine drives like a car and doesnt feel mpv-ish even though the seating position is higher than a normal car as for boot space…thats quite big and the access to it is very good…low lip on the sill, which is wide enough to sit on too. the only issue i have with it is getting the bike in the back…small/med frame size with 26″ wheels the rear seats are a funny design…you have to fold the backs of the seats down and then lift the whole seat forward and then use the bungees to secure it to the front seat…with the seats in that position you loose about 18″ of boot space…you can of course take the whole seat out if you have somewhere to store them but as it is the only way the bike fits in the boot is upside down, with the wheels off and with the seats folded ours is in panther black with the privacy glass which makes it look pretty cool…but just be aware that reverse parking on very dark nights or in poorly lit areas can be a bit of a pain Posted 5 years ago mudshark – Member Similar thought processes resulted in me getting a Yeti which I am very happy with. I’ve been down that route but only the Ford’s have the quickclear front screen which is amazing. Posted 5 years ago I recently bought a 2015 Cmax Easy. Diesel. So far so good. My stepdaughter is 16 and 5′ 10″ and has no complaint on back seat space. She complains about many things constantly but nothing about the car so I imagine she’s happy there. Plenty spacious for 4 of us going away for a weekend. I love the park assist as I’m a bloody hopeless parker and in Vienna it’s amazing parking on the street. I didn’t buy air pressure sensors for my winter wheels so the dash has an error message saying I’ve got 4 flat wheels but I can live with that. I was rear ended but a young girl. Her car just crumbled whereas the Cmax was hardly damaged at all. Posted 5 years ago That’s what’s supposed to happen. Posted 5 years ago You see a lot of CMax and BMax and come to that SMax’s around my way. Theres a massive Ford dealership near Portsmouth that knocks em’ out, always a sale or event going on throughout the year. I’d suggest you look at those large independent dealerships too, my 5 mins looking around a couple down here revealed vehicles ex-demo or with <7k on the clock can be had for £6-7k off list.. Bargain. Posted 5 years ago CountZero – would be nice to hear what your thoughts after driving the Grand Cmax are…. Posted 5 years ago We’ve had a grand cmax for about two years now and love it. I’ve got two tall boys, 5 and 9, and I’m 6 foot. With the rear seats right back there’s plenty of room in the back even with me driving, boot is good too. Used the extra seats a reasonable amount with taking kids and friends to places etc, can fit adults in too but you wouldn’t want to spend too long on them as they are quite small. Bootspace wise, it’s very tall, a little narrower than our previous 55 focus. We got the cargo net with it which give loads of extra room as you can ram it to roof. We do a lot of camping and it’s been great. Main thing for us is that the boys have a lot of space so very happy on long journeys. Sliding rear doors are amazing, no longer worry about narrow parking spaces as can always get the kids out. We got a titanium spec model as it just had the extras we wanted. Stereo is really good too. Down sides, boot isn’t as big as you might expect, especially when compared to bigger smax and virtually non existent with rear seats up. You do lose quite a bit for those rear seats and they cannot be taken is low compared to what you might expect as it’s a heavy car. We have the 2l diesel and average about 45mpg. But it pulls very well and doesn’t seem to notice when loaded with camping gear, roof box and bikes. All in all, we think it’s the best family car we’ve had and would get another one happily. Posted 5 years ago Ive a c-max (06 plate) Its big enough, but the rear seats dont fold flat so the boot isnt actually that big in terms of getting bikes in which is a PITA. So I have a towbar and a bike rack. Rear legroom is huge, as is headroom. And the outer 2 seats slide back too if you want full on lime levels of legroom. And my grandparents love it as the seats are taller/upright so getting in isnt a contortion for people 6ft tall with hip replacements (or just cold mountainbikers trying to get bikes and bodies in the back). Its the older (non turbo, non vct) petrol, dash is cuttently showing 44mpg (mostly motorway at an indicated 70). Drops to mid 30’s for commuting/town use. The petrol is a lot thirstier and barely more peowerfull in real life as its a small version of the bigger duratec engine (the is/was the biggest itteration of the smaller sigma engine). Reliability wise, the only failure was a power steering hose fixed under warrenty. And Ive serviced it on my driveway for the past 60,000 miles apart from the cambelt. So all its cost me is tyres and the cabelt service which is pretty good going for a 10 year old car! Posted 5 years ago I have a MkI Kuga Titanium AWD and I really like it. Boot isn’t as big as a Mondeo’s but then again how many cars are? Plenty of rear legroom IMO and with one front seat passenger I can get a 6piece drum kit, two bags of stands, cymbals, a Marshall 4×12 cab & separate head and two or three guitars in it. Tailgate is plenty wide enough and has the advantage of split tailgate for smaller loads or restricted space. It’s showing on mostly twisty country lanes with a bit of urban mileage thrown in. Front wheel drive most of the time but the rear wheels kick in automatically when (if) the front wheels start to spin. Handy on occasional snow between Otley & Ripon. Makes not a jot of difference to braking on ice or snow Posted 5 years ago Kuga has pretty large exterior dimensions. Quite a nice place to be. Quick in a straight line but wallowy in corners is apparently the sporty bit of Suv. The boot lip is flat, so the utility bit of sUv is covered and it’s definitely a vehicle. Fortunately it was a company car, if it were my money I wouldn’t. From the list it’s the best of a bad bunch. Posted 5 years ago Agreed it’s a big car but most of the bigness is in the height – about same length & width as the Focus it’s based on but I’m 5’8″ and I can just about see over the roof Posted 5 years ago Agreed it’s a big car but most of the bigness is in the height – about same length & width as the Focus it’s based on but I’m 5’8″ and I can just about see over the roof Not a chance, unless the Ford page proves me wrong, I’ll say the Focus I was driving before the Kuga fitted in parking spaces (Charles St Manchester) where the Kuga wouldn’t. Even the C-max is a touch shorter and I also imagine narrower. Posted 5 years ago I don’t know Manchester but I have no problem parking it in Bradford or Leeds. Certainly shorter than the 320d Touring and 9-3 Sportwagon I’ve had before it, my drive tells me so as there’s now a wheelie bin behind it & it still fits Posted 5 years ago We bought our 14 plate C-max auto Titanium over 18 months ago to replace the 57 plate 2-zetec auto we`d had for 5 years The differnce is staggering the old petrol turned tops on a run ,the new one does close to 40 round town and ive seen returns of over 55mpg on good motorway runs over the uk limit 🙂 And it doesnt hang about , big enough for the 2+2 family and all the mod cons , sensors all over the shop ,electric everything , and when the boss isnt using it easy to chuck 3 bikes in the back with wheels off and 3 packs , we did look at the Kuga and glad we turned it down as a friend bought the fame spec as ours and struggles to get 32 around town and tops out at 45 on a run Posted 5 years ago Pretty sure the original c-max is based on the same floorpan as the mk2 focus estate (or the mk2 focus is on a c-max if you treat it chronologically). So it should be the same size. Not sure if it’s entirely right but the mk2 focus estate was smaller than the mk1, and my c-max boot isnt as big as my parents old mk1 focus estate. It is however undeniably taller. Doesnt stop me being a bit entusiastic on b-roads, its not a focus RS, but its a long way from rolling arround like a berlingo or “drives just like a car” T5.

It is beneficial in some circumstances such as providing increased traction in tricky weather conditions, but is most suited to off-road petrol (gasoline) engine offers several advantages over diesel. For example the engines tend to be lighter and cheaper than their diesel counterparts. Petrol engines also tend to have higher horsepower, and the fuel is more readily radius Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Ford C-MAX Hybrid (2014))The turn radius indicates the smallest circular turn a car can make. With a smaller turn radius it is easier to perform a U-turn in one attempt instead of having to reverse back and forth in order to turn emissions Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Ford C-MAX Hybrid (2014))The CO2 emissions of the car, measured in grams per kilometre. A car with less emissions is better for the drivetrain warranty covers parts of the car, such as the engine, transmission, driveshaft, etc. Typically longer than the basic warranty, it lasts for a certain number of basic warranty of a car covers all aspects other than parts which are subject to normal wear and tear, such as windscreen wipers and brake pads. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres basic warranty of a car covers all aspects other than parts which are subject to normal wear and tear, such as windscreen wipers and brake pads. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) carries out safety tests for new vehicles, providing an overall rating for each car’s safety. It covers different areas such as safety for an adult occupant, child occupant or larger cargo area is more practical as it allows you to transport more height represents the vertical dimension of the width represents the horizontal dimension of the larger cargo area is more practical as it allows you to transport more things. With some vehicles you can put the rear seats down in order to gain more space for consider a shorter length better because a compact chassis is generally easier to headroom in the front of the car makes for a more comfortable driving experience, and is especially important for taller headroom in the rear of the car makes for a more comfortable passenger experience, and is especially important for taller people. It is also useful if you are transporting cargo in the rear of the consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of wheelbase is the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels. A longer wheelbase provides the car with more stability and a smoother ride (although a shorter wheelbase can provide more responsive handling).SpeedThe fastest speed that the vehicle can economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to is a measurement of an engine’s power, closely related to horsepower. More torque indicates a more powerful vehicle and is also a good indication of its economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to more battery power you can travel on the electric motor further before having to recharge, or in the case of a hybrid switching to the petrol (gasoline) is the most common unit for measuring the power of an measurement is the total volume of all the engine's cylinders, also known as the engine displacement. This is one of many aspects of an engine that determine its horsepower, but generally speaking a greater size indicates more economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A higher fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to turbocharger compresses the air entering the cylinders, allowing more air (and therefore more fuel) to be added - resulting in a more powerful explosion. This leads to an increase in horsepower without increasing the size and weight of the time it takes to fully charge the rear-view camera (also known as a back-up camera) provides a view of behind the vehicle, helping to prevent accidents. It is particularly useful in vehicles with large blind spots such as pickup in-car system ( Ford SYNC, Apple CarPlay) offers extra functionalities, such as navigation, taking phone calls (when linked to your smartphone) and controlling are designed to cushion occupants in the event of an impact.
