Ford C-Max Buying Guide

What types of used Ford C-Max cars are there?

The Ford C-Max is a mid-sized people carrier that shares many of its parts with the Focus. In fact, when it first launched in 2003, it was called the Focus C-Max.

It sits above the Fiesta-based B-Max and together with its Grand C-Max sibling (a seven-seater variant with sliding rear doors). It’s considerably smaller than Ford’s biggest models, the S-Max and Galaxy.

Because it’s so much more compact, it’s more efficient to run, but it’s definitely not short on interior space and family-friendly features.

Popular Ford C-Max trims

The usual suspects are all here – Zetec and Titanium models are aplenty, but watch out for different variants because some offer more than others.

> Ford C-Max Zetec - entry point with a heated windscreen, air-con, cruise control and Bluetooth

> Ford C-Max Titanium - popular well-equipped model with automatic lights and wipers, keyless entry and upgraded eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system

> Ford C-Max Titanium X - this top-spec car gets upgrades like a fixed panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and part-leather upholstery

Ford C-Max history

Two generations of the Ford C-Max went on sale, with the most recent model coming to the market in 2011. It was discontinued in 2019.

> Second-generation Ford C-Max (2011) - newer and more economical engines and a more modern interior

> Facelifted Ford C-Max (2015) - new sharp grille and the introduction of Ford’s SYNC2 infotainment system with an eight-inch display

What features does the Ford C-Max have?

Like many Fords, the C-Max comes as standard with a heated windscreen, which takes the effort out of deicing. All facelifted models also come with air-con, cruise control and a programmable key that can limit the speed – handy for learner drivers borrowing their parents’ car.

Higher-spec models take the stress out of family life with keyless entry, automatic lights and wipers, overhead storage compartments and more storage between the front seats.

We like the Ford C-Max’s rear seats, too, which can fold and tumble to increase boot space. If that’s not enough, they’re also completely removable.

Is the Ford C-Max reliable?

Ford has long been a family favourite in Britain for its affordability and dependability. The C-Max is just as reliable as the rest of the range.

Popular engine picks include the 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel, which are used in numerous other Ford models.

How much does the Ford C-Max cost to run?

You’d be pleasantly surprised that a Ford C-Max shouldn’t cost much more to run than a Focus despite its added size.

Around town, the 1.0-litre petrol models are punchy and economical, but those travelling longer distances could consider the diesels for their higher mpg figures.

Insurance groups of 10-27 mean there should be a model to fit most budgets.

Who is the Ford C-Max suitable for?

A used Ford C-Max for sale is a no-brainer for families who need the versatility of an MPV – it’s child-friendly with ISOFIX points, offers varying levels of boot space, and is cheap to run.

If you like the idea of a C-Max but can’t find a model to suit, why not consider the Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Meriva or Citroen C4 SpaceTourer?

Should I buy a Ford C-Max?

What are the benefits of owning an MPV like the Ford C-Max?

Owning a Ford C-MAX offers versatile space, sliding rear doors for easy access and efficient engines. With a focus on practicality and comfort, it's an ideal choice for families.

What are the pros and cons of sliding doors on a car?

The benefits of sliding doors include easy access in tight spaces, which is useful for large families. The downsides include maintenance complexity and slightly reduced structural rigidity.

What is modular seating in the C-Max and how does it work?

Modular seating in the Ford C-Max allows flexible configurations for rear seats. It enables easy folding and adjusting, providing versatile cargo and seating options. It enhances practicality for all passengers and/or luggage.

Is a hands-free tailgate useful?

Yes, a hands-free tailgate is useful for convenience, especially when your hands are full of shopping bags or children.

It allows you to open or close the tailgate by waving your foot under the bumper, streamlining access to the cargo area and making it practical for situations like loading groceries.

Are sliding doors safe for children?

Yes, sliding doors are generally safe for children. They provide a wide opening, reducing the risk of accidental contact with nearby obstacles when opening or closing.

Additionally, they allow for easy access and exit, making it convenient and safe for families with children in the car.
