This is an older version of the Ford C-Max.

This is a newer version of the Ford C-Max.

The Ford C-Max is a type of car made by the Ford Motor Company. It has been around since 2003. When it first came out, it was called the Focus C-Max. Later, in 2007, it got a new look, which car designers call a "facelift."

In 2010, the C-Max got a big update and became the "second generation" model. You can find it in two main sizes: a 5-seat version for smaller families and a "Grand" 7-seat version, which is great for bigger families or when you need to carry more friends!

How the C-Max Moves

Cars need engines to move, and the Ford C-Max has different types of engines that give it power. This power is often measured in "horsepower" (hp). The more horsepower a car has, the quicker and stronger it can be.

Petrol Engines

Petrol engines use gasoline to create power. The C-Max has been available with a few different petrol engine sizes:

• A 1.6-liter engine that makes about 100 horsepower.
• A 1.8-liter engine that makes about 125 horsepower.
• A 2.0-liter engine that makes about 145 horsepower.

Diesel Engines

Diesel engines use diesel fuel, which can sometimes be more fuel-efficient. The C-Max also offers several diesel engine options:

• A 1.6-liter TDCi engine that can make either 90 horsepower or 109 horsepower.
• A 1.8-liter TDCi engine that makes about 115 horsepower.
• A 2.0-liter TDCi engine that can make either 110 horsepower or 136 horsepower.

Different Versions of the C-Max

Over the years, the Ford C-Max has had updates and different versions. These changes often include new designs, improved features, and sometimes even new types of engines like hybrid ones.

First Generation (2003-2010)

The very first C-Max was based on the Ford Focus car. It was designed to be a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), meaning it was smaller than a van but still had lots of space inside for people and luggage. It was known for being comfortable and easy to drive.

Second Generation (2010-Present)

The second generation C-Max brought a fresh new look and more advanced technology. This is when the "Grand C-Max" was introduced, offering seven seats instead of five. This extra space makes it a popular choice for larger families or those who need more room for friends and gear.
