The Ford C-MAX is a an market since 2003. It was the first to use the Ford C1 Platform , also used by the Ford Focus Mk II , which was introduced a year later, and the compact MPV Premacy/Mazda5 . With the introduction of the new Large MPV s S-MAX and Galaxy , the C-MAX is the smallest Multi-purpose Vehicle of Ford's lineup. Its internal code name is C214.

It seats five passengers and has a large amount of cargo space, which can be increased by folding the rear seats flat. Some models feature diagonally sliding outer rear seats. It also shares the control blade independent rear suspension from the Focus. The available engines are the same as the Focus — the petrol versions are the 1.6 L, 1.8 L and 2.0 L aluminium Duratec , and the 1.8 L Duratec Flexifuel, which runs on E85 Bioethanol or petrol, while the diesel engines are the PSA -developed Duratorq 66 KW (90 Hp ) and 85 kW (109 hp) 1.6 (1560cc) L, Ford's own Lynx Duratorq 1.8 L 85 kW (115 hp), and the PSA-designed 100 kW (136 hp) 2.0 L. The pre-facelift version of the car (2003-2007) was called the Ford Focus C-MAX. The name change to C-MAX is attributable to Ford's MPV strategy of creating a 'MAX' branded line of models, starting with the Ford S-MAX , launched in 2006. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
