You can download a brochure or contact your Ford Dealer. You can also use our configurator tool to build your perfect Ford C-MAX.
Ford Duratorq diesel technology
Advanced engineering combines performance with outstanding fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. The 1.6TDCi 95PS Duratorq now delivers more power with even more refinement giving impressive fuel efficiency of 5.4 litres/100 km (urban cycle) and CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km* or VRT Band A (in the manual transmission C-MAX).
Available from July 2011 Auto Start-Stop reduces CO2 emissions even further. When your vehicle is idling at a standstill, the engine automatically shuts down to save fuel consumption. When you want to drive off, the engine immediately restarts. Available on the 1.6TDCi 95PS engine, it reduces CO2 emissions from 119g/km to 114g/km or VRT Band A on C-MAX and on Grand C-MAX from 129g/km to 124g/km or VRT Band B.

Power operated tailgate
You can open the tailgate from a button on the centre console, tailgate handle or key fob – great when you're hands are full. The intelligent design lets you programme the opening angle to avoid obstacles, such as the garage roof. For protection, two anti-pinch sensors will detect any obstruction when closing and then safely release. (Option, as part of the Convenience Pack)
*Note: all CO2 emission figures in g/km and fuel consumption figures are from officially approved tests in accordance with EC Directive 93/116/EC. Fuel economy figures quoted are based on the European Fuel Economy Directive EU 80/1268/EEC and will differ from fuel economy drive cycle results in other regions of the world.

Power child locks
This innovative feature on the Grand C-MAX's rear sliding doors can improve safety for the family. A simple control switch on the driver’s door lets you secure your precious backseat passengers and prevent doors opening from the inside. (Power Child Locks not standard on C-MAX ACTIV)
Adjustable Speed Limiter
Available as part of cruise control, this system lets you set your top speed between 30 and 180 km/h. The engine management system ensures you keep within your set limit, helping you concentrate on the road ahead rather than the speedometer. (Option on ACTIV, Standard on Titanium)
Sony audio system ICP
Finished in Piano Black, the Sony audio system has nine speakers and a 265-watt amplifier to give you the ultimate in-car audio experience that’s rich and detailed even at low volume. Connectivity is covered for USB, MP3 players and your iPod®. (Option, as part of the Sony NAV Pack).
Interior design
A sculpted centre console and instrument panel envelops driver and front passenger, while the detailing, trim colours and leather steering wheel and gear knob add a more premium feel to the cabin. Harmonious design stylishly integrates practical touches with ergonomic features, plus state-of-the-art audio and navigation systems.

Driver assist technologies
An array of technologies – more advanced than any other medium-sized Multi Activity Vehicle – are designed to help improve protection, while enhancing driving enjoyment and comfort. Innovative features include Cruise Control and Adjustable Speed Limiter which cleverly combines to help give you added peace of mind.
Active safety systems
These systems are always on standby, ready to activate in response to a safety problem or abnormal event. Many are fitted as standard on both the Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, which demonstrates our commitment to high standards of safety and protection.
See Safety and Security for details of all the active safety technologies that feature in the C-MAX and Grand C-MAX.
Passive safety systems
With the latest in driver and occupant protection technologies featuring in the C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, the key element in our passive safety package is the Intelligent Protection System (IPS). This includes the following advanced systems, ready to spring into action in a fraction of a second:
- Full-size driver (60 litre) and passenger (110 litre) airbags featuring the latest single stage inflator technology
- High power seat belt pre-tensioners and belt load limiting for front-seat seat belts
- Standard inflatable side curtains for front and second row seat occupants and thorax-protecting side airbags for front occupants
- Collapsible steering column that moves away from the driver in the event of a collision and is optimised for energy absorption and leg protection
- Pedal Intrusion Prevention System (PIPS) where safety pedals collapse away from the driver to prevent injury in case of impact
- Passive neck injury protection system on front seats to help the driver and front passenger avoid whiplash
- Three-point seat belts in all positions with height-adjustable mounts on front seat belts
- Seat belt reminders for driver and front passenger, and (7-seat Grand C-MAX only) for second and third row seats
- ISOFIX child seat attachment anchors on outboard seats second row
- Approval for universal ISOFIX child seats
- Optional passenger airbag deactivation kit (Dealer fitted)
- Further optimisation for a wide range of human body profiles

TÜV allergy
If you, or a member of your family suffer from allergies, you'll be relieved to know that the pollen filter and the materials we use inside the C-MAX meet the requirements of the 'TUV TOXPROOF Criteria Catalogue for Vehicle Interiors' by the TUV Produkt and Umwelt GmbH to minimise the risk of allergic reactions.
If doors and windows are closed , the pollen filter of the HVAC system protects the passengers from high concentrations of particles, including allergens entering the car from the outside.
