ADVANCED driver assistance technologies, convenience features and higher levels of comfort and safety are being promised by Ford’s new C-MAX models.
Both the new five-seat C-MAX and seven-seat Grand C-MAX Multi-Activity Vehicles (MAV) claim to provide enhanced refinement and ride quality with revised chassis, body and interior designs. The C-MAX family also offers segment-first Hands-Free Tailgate that enables customers to access the boot with a simple kicking motion, and an enhanced version of the Active City Stop system designed to help avoid or mitigate incidents.
New engines boast reduced running costs with significantly improved fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, while retaining high performance and responsiveness with downsized engines including:
A new 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine, offered with 120PS, delivers 105g/km CO2 – a 12% improvement in CO2compared to the 1.6-litre diesel it replaces, while delivering 5PS more power;
100PS and 125PS versions of Ford’s 1.0-litre EcoBoost three-cylinder petrol motor;
Auto-Start-Stop technology is offered as standard on the 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engines for the first time, helping deliver up to 17% reduction in CO2 emissions, with power increased by 7%.
Ford’s Active City Stop collision avoidance system has been enhanced to operate at speeds of up to 30mph, compared to 19mph with the previous version and the Pre-Collision Assist system is now introduced to the new C-MAX models. This works in a similar way to Active City Stop but with a much greater vehicle detection range of between 5mph and 112mph. It supports drivers at higher speeds, for example on the motorway, by issuing warnings and applying braking as required.
