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.
Making its debut in the C-MAX range is Ford's 1.6-litre, 148bhp EcoBoost engine. This power unit is mated with a new six-speed manual gearbox, which can also be mated with the 1.6- and 2.0-litre TDCi Duratorq diesel engines. The larger turbodiesel is also offered with a dual-clutch PowerShift six-speed automatic. Two 1.6-litre TI-VCT petrol engines complete the range with a choice of 104- and 123bhp outputs.
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.
Seven-seat Grand C-Max prices start at £18,745 for the 123bhp petrol model. The volume seller in the UK is expected to be the 1.6-litre TDCi version, which costs £19,745.
