The Ford C-Max Journey
Why is the C-Max one of the UK’s most popular family cars? That’s an easy one, but first, we’ll run through the history of the model and why you should choose a used Ford C-Max at FOW.
Built on the fastidious Focus platform the Ford C-Max introduced a compact, yet family-friendly SUV design when it launched in 2003. Sharing the same platform, engines and fantastic multilink rear suspension as the Focus, the Ford Focus C-Max was the first model to sit on the new Ford Focus platform showcasing what would prove to be one of the most accomplished, spacious and driver-orientated chassis of any family car to date. Given its popularity, the Focus C-Max was soon branded simply as the ‘C-Max’ with a second-generation model launching in 2011 alongside a 7 seat ‘Grand C-Max’.
But why should I choose a nearly new or used Ford C-Max?
The Ford C-Max ticks all the boxes for family-friendly motoring with isofix child seat anchor points, a fully configurable interior with fold, tumble or removable rear seats, plenty of interior storage and a low loading lip – very important if you’ve ever had to load a child’s buggy or bike into the back of a car. Sitting alongside this family-friendly design is a selection of award-winning EcoBoost petrol engines, EcoBlue diesel engines, manual or automatic gearboxes and an even more versatile 7 seat Grand C-Max model.
All models are well equipped as standard with the top Titanium X models presented with xenon headlights, glass panoramic roof, half leather and heated seats. There are a few options available with the C-Max, these include Ford’s Convenience Pack (front and rear parking sensors with park assist (helps guide the car into parking spaces) and electric folding exterior mirrors), keyless entry and a Winter Pack (heated front seats and heated leather-trimmed steering wheel).
