Ford C MAX Price


Ford has announced prices for the new five-seat C-MAX and seven seat Grand C-MAX. The simplified range comprises two trim levels and five engines with prices starting at £16,745. The model goes on sale in the UK in October and previews some features of the 2011 Focus.

Both the Ford C-MAX and the Ford Grand C-MAX will be available in two trim levels, Zetec and Titanium, and with a 1.6-litre TDCi engine developing 125PS. The Ford C-MAX is equipped with five seats while its larger brother, the Grand C-MAX offers seven seats and twin sliding doors. Apart from the engine mentioned above, the new Ford C-MAX will also offer a choice between three petrol and one diesel additional engines.

The two trim levels are Zetec and Titanium. All models come with alloy wheels, air conditioning and a Thatcham category one alarm. The Grand C-MAX also has powered child locks for its sliding rear doors and rear parking sensors. The higher specification Titanium model adds automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control and keyless start.

The five-seater C-Max kicks off at £16,745 for the C-Max 1.6 TI-VCT which offers 104bhp from its petrol lump and comes equipped with alloys, AirCon, DAB radio and Bluetooth. Top of the tree will be the Grand C-Max 2.0 TDCi (Powershift Auto) Titanium at £23,245.

Press Release

Ford's all-new C-MAX will go on sale in the UK in October, priced from £16,745.


Both the sporty but spacious five-seater and the Grand, a versatile seven-seater, come with a simplified two-series line-up – Zetec and Titanium. Prices start from £16,745 for the C-MAX Zetec and £18,745 for the C-MAX Grand Zetec.

With almost two-thirds of UK buyers in this segment now seeking seven-seat flexibility, the Ford Grand C-MAX becomes the spiritual successor to today's model, which was also designed to maximise practicality. Priced from £18,745 for the 1.6-litre petrol 125PS Zetec, the Grand offers family-friendly flexibility, with the extra utility of twin sliding doors, versatile seating and improved engine efficiency - and all for just a £250 premium over today's model.

The Grand Zetec with 115PS 1.6-litre TDCi, the anticipated volume seller in the UK, is priced at £19,745 - £750 less than the outgoing equivalent.

The five-seat model will appeal to customers seeking more space than a regular family hatchback, but who do not want to sacrifice sporty design or driving dynamics. On the road prices start from £16,745 for the 1.6-litre petrol Zetec.

Mark Simpson, marketing director, Ford of Britain said: "When C-MAX was launched in 2003 it preserved all the brand's most important qualities including style, comfort and driving quality, but added more flexibility and space to the Focus package."

"Since then the market has expanded quite considerably with customers expressing a variety of needs. These are met with the family-friendly seven-seater and the sporty-but-spacious five-seater. The new Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX are priced to offer customers best value for money whilst still introducing many exciting new technologies which will feature on the all-new Focus due next year," he said.

Standard equipment on all models includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, leather steering wheel, Thatcham category one alarm, DAB radio/CD and Bluetooth with USB connectivity and voice control. Grand C-MAX has powered child-proof locks on the rear dual sliding doors, and rear parking sensors.

The Titanium trim supplements these features with auto front wipers and headlamps, dual electronic automatic temperature control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, hill launch assist, keyless start, cruise control with speed limiter, premium Sony audio, and tyre deflation detection system. The Grand C-MAX Titanium also has power folding mirrors.

Customers will be offered a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel engines. Making its debut in the Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX is the all-new four-cylinder 1.6-litre 150PS Ford EcoBoost engine which comes with a new six-speed manual gearbox. This gearbox also accompanies the 1.6 TDCi and 2.0 TDCi powertrains, which are jointly projected to account for around 50 per cent of sales. For those preferring an automatic transmission, the dual-clutch Powershift six-speed automatic option is available with the 2.0 TDCi powertrain.
