Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is “an extreme makeover.” Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with “even more refinement, practicality and technology.”
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths – the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we’ll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.
BRENTWOOD, Essex, Sept. 15, 2014 – Ford has treated its two-car C-MAX family to an extreme makeover. The spacious, comfortable and versatile C-MAX and Grand C-MAX multi-activity vehicles have been given a boost to make them even better suited to the modern, active family.
The new Ford C-Max family now boasts even more refinement, practicality and technology. All will be revealed on Sept. 17.
