Lively, responsive and up for anything, C-MAX is a compact Multi-Activity-Vehicle (MAV) that has the dynamism of a sports car. With great handling, it lets you take control of tight corners, power down the straights and take command of the streets.

But C-MAX is more than great fun to drive. With a cool, sculpted design, ample technology and a stylish interior with all the stowage you need, it’s ready for anything life can throw at it. Come and explore it on the website.

With its energetic handling, C-MAX is a fantastic drive. It’s agile, nimble and handles brilliantly. So unlike the kids, it’s always well behaved. The Control Blade independent rear suspension with an ultra stiff body and wider track, provides agile control and superb ride comfort, plus a quieter, more refined cabin. Electronic-Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering (EHPAS) means your drive comes with a lighter touch giving you more control when parking and precise control at speed.

C-MAX shares many styling features with our award-winning Ford S-MAX, which won Car of the Year 2007 for bold looks that match its driving ability. Front styling with a well-defined grille and clean lines give it a sporty look. The large optional Panoramic glass roof floods the interior with light and adds an architectural touch. In another first for Ford, tail-lamp strips featuring LED technology provide a contemporary look and practical function at the rear.

Welcome to a five-seater design that’s sleek, modern and flexible, starting with a contemporary centre console. Luxurious, sculpted sports seats (available in the Sports Packs across the range) and an extending armrest place you in comfort to enjoy C-MAX’s agile drive.

And while you’re looking forward to the next corner, there’s plenty to keep the family entertained. Like a Sony 6-CD player (optional) and an MP3 player socket for great sounds all the way. Smart stowage keeps everything neat and tidy and the Comfort Seat System (optional) can be arranged to accommodate all kinds of passenger and storage variations, so you'll always come out smiling.

We’ve introduced many bright technologies for C-MAX. In a first for Ford, high density Bi-Xenon headlamps now use ultra-modern light strips for a distinctive intense beam. At the rear, the latest LED technology means you can be seen, even from a distance. Also available is the Adaptive Front Lighting System (optional) that moves the light beam as you steer to improve visibility, plus rain sensing wipers (standard on Titanium) and Voice Control with Bluetooth® (optional). There’s even a KeyFree system (optional) that automatically unlocks the doors and lets you start the car with the key fob still in your pocket.

C-MAX has an impressive list of active and passive safety technologies ready to spring into action to keep you and your family safe from harm. Ford’s unique Intelligent Protection System (IPS) constantly watches over the vehicle. If required, it activates the most appropriate safety system – from airbags to collapsible pedals – in a split-second.
