The 2014 C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi is the first dedicated hybrid Ford - which means that you will not so quickly, are without a hybrid version. They are competitors Toyota Prius , both are strong entries . Improved management of the legendary Toyota hybrid, In size and shape of the Ford C -Max shares almost the difference between the Prius Liftback and family-oriented Prius V wagon. At the same time, it is built on a Ford Focus its base , so it is essentially a high - wagon version of the Ford compact. From the front of the C -Max version gets a big trapezoidal grille , which is now used in most of the Ford range , together Accent lines and window angles add up to what is really a small minivan or perhaps higher and upright five-door hatchback . Inside, however , C -Max is based on the inside of the Focus , with a rich and stylish dashboard and a number of high -end features , but in all it was a kind of " Premium"
With a 2.0 -liter four- cylinder engine and an electric motor system C-Max delivers 195 hp drive system combined - 54 hp more than the Toyota Prius drive system. While the C -Max is a few hundred pounds more, it makes practical nor translate driving feel that much - is sassy and less concerned about Toyota. Ford C -Max Hybrid will be at 47 miles per gallon on the EPA Combined test Reviewed , only slightly worse than the 50 - MPG Prius Liftback , but better than the Prius V 42 mpg combined .
Overall, it's really hard to fault in anything about how to manage 2014 Ford C -Max - especially if you use the Toyota Prius as a benchmark . The steering is very precise and well weighted - almost as good as what you find in the Ford Focus . With a curb weight of around 3700 in the basic form and about £ 3,900 in Energi plug -in form , that is not quite as agile and resilient as focus, but not difficult either .
This C -Max Energi , first plug -in hybrid Ford has proposed more compelling alternative to the Prius Plug-In Hybrid . As an all- electric range of ( easy to do in real driving ) 21 miles also allows middle-distance commuters chance to go all-electric if they charge at home and at work.
The key to a very useful all-electric cars C-Max is its much larger 7.6 - kWh battery - kWh , compared with 1.4 in the standard C -Max Hybrid. But this battery take up valuable cargo space , turning what would be the same for goods in a weakened , multi - level affair that seems disadvantageous when it flip forward backrests .
Otherwise, C-Max Energi is pretty impressive for hauling four adults around . Back seats are a bit of an understatement , so that all adult sizes in a position of knee -up , but there is enough space for the legs and head.
Ride quality is firm, but just enough , pleasant, active noise cancellation and many proofing measures help the - Road - refinement at its best .
