5dr MPV (Petrol - 1.6, 1.0 EcoBoost, / 1.5 & 2.0 TDCi diesel) History Compromise doesn't have to be a dirty word. In fact, intelligent compromise is exactly what underpins the design of Ford's C-MAX mid-sized MPV, here reviewed in updated post-2015-era guise, its revised second generation form.
Under the bonnet, most C-MAX buyers in search of petrol power will be looking at the two 1.0-litre EcoBoost engines and the choice Ford gives of either 100 or 125PS power outputs. Otherwise, potential buyers will be wanting to look at a diesel, probably the 120PS 1.5-litre unit.
View all deals. The engine is equally impressive. It's quiet, smooth and feels far stronger than you'd imagine a 1.0-litre could. Acceleration isnt quick, but this C-Max is perfectly able to
The petrols kick off with two versions of the 1.0-litre Ecoboost three-cylinder engine, in either 100 or 125 trim, and a 1.6 125 four-cylinder unit, while diesels come in 1.5 TDCi and 2.0 TDCi
Firstly, for such a small engine the EcoBoost 1.0 delivers a healthy wallop of torque at low rpm. Secondly, it feels and sounds very much like a small diesel engine, even though it runs on
. Honest John Overall Rating Mid-sized, five-seater MPV is nearly as good to drive as the Ford Focus that itโs based on, and offers plenty in the way of practicality. Neat styling. More practical than a Ford Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. High-quality interior.
