Ford to premiere the new C-Max and the Grand C-Max in Paris

Ford unveiled the stylish new C-Max and Grand C-Max (banner) with a new sleek exterior design, beautifully crafted interior with improved stowage ideas, and major fuel efficiency and CO₂ emissions improvements. The five-seat C-Max and seven-seat Grand C-Max will also introduce advanced technology including Ford's SYNC 2 voice-activated connectivity system.

The Ford C-Max family has been restyled to reflect the One Ford global design language and is available in new exterior colours Red Rush and a stylish brown-grey shade called Caribou.

The dynamic styling delivers a stronger, sleeker front end, while the hidden washer jets contribute to a cleaner look. Sleeker, more chiselled front headlamps and more rectangular, elongated fog lamps add to the bolder front end.

The interiors follow the customer-led design refinements that have already been executed on new Focus. The more intuitive layout has fewer controls and switches, while the new black satin trim and chrome detailing contributes to a cleaner, modern look.  

In addition, C-Max family will be offered with higher quality trims across the entire range, a heated steering wheel, door sill scuff plates and load-net fitting points behind both the first and second row seats. The new Ford C-Max family is equipped with Ford's SYNC 2 voice-activated connectivity system that features a high-resolution, 8-inch colour touch screen and advanced voice control for hands-free operation of audio, navigation, climate control and connected mobile phone functions.

The new Ford C-Max will also be offered with a premium sound system that incorporates 10 Sony speakers, including a subwoofer (bass speaker) to deliver a more rounded and deeper sound.

The new C-Max family offer significantly improved CO₂ figures and for the first time feature as standard Ford's auto start-stop technology on EcoBoost petrol and 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engines. The new C-Max family powertrain lineup will be offered with Ford's new 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine, delivering 118bhp. The C-Max family will continue to be offered with 98bhp and 123bhp versions of the multi-award winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine.
