Ford scoop the fleet industry’s top award
Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX were voted "New Company Car of the Year 2011" as well as "Best People Carrier" at the Fleet News Awards.
Cars were judged on a range of criteria, including operating costs (depreciation, fuel, servicing, maintenance and repair, lease rates, tax liability), suitability for their use as business cars and the level of support from the manufacturers and their corporate sales teams.
The top-of-the-range new Ford C-MAX Titanium is also the UK's best value MPV according to a leading car buying website.
In deciding the first awards from Parkers, the website combined list price with running costs, including depreciation, showroom and road tax, servicing and fuel consumption to name the high-series new Ford C-MAX Titanium as best Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV).
Kieren Puffet, Parkers editor, said: "The new Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCi Titanium won Parkers' New Car Awards 2011 MPV category because it is great to drive, comes with a quality interior and with plenty of space. When it comes to value the Ford C-MAX scores highly. The 1.6-litre diesel provides great performance and 61mpg combined fuel economy means trips to the fuel pump aren't frequent."
Priced from £17,195, new Ford C-MAX boasts the maximum five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP and Thatcham alarm, DAB radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard.
