Active Park Assist
Helps you park in spaces just 1.2 times the length of the car. After confirming the space is large enough, the system operates the steering while you control the pedals. Audio and visual guides help you manoeuvre. (Option as part of Convenience Pack).
Grand C-MAX ultimate flexibility
The ingenious 7-seat interior of the Grand C-MAX offers you the flexibility of accessing third row seating via a walk-through. It's created by easily folding away the middle seat in the second row and is extremely handy when child seats are fitted.
5-star Euro NCAP rating
Both C-MAX and Grand C-MAX have achieved maximum official independent ratings for safety.
Rear sliding doors
Sliding doors on the Grand C-MAX are a Ford first. Neatly integrated, they complement the bold looks of the Grand C-MAX and are ideal for easy rear seat access and avoiding bumps in narrow parking bays.
Power operated tailgate
You can open the tailgate from a button on the centre console, tailgate handle or key fob – great when your hands are full. The intelligent design lets you programme the opening height to avoid obstacles, such as the garage roof. For protection, two anti-pinch sensors will detect any obstruction when closing and then safely release.
Optional as part of the family pack.
EcoBoost efficient performance
The 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine delivers 18% improved fuel economy with 18% lower CO2 emissions* compared to the 2.0-litre Duratec petrol engine. It's a driving technology win-win, delivering large engine performance with the fuel economy of a much smaller unit.
Seat belt reminder system
To help promote peace of mind for the driver, visual and audible alerts indicate when any seat belt is fastened or unfastened. (Grand C-MAX only)
Rear-view camera
Select reverse gear and a rearward view automatically displays on the instrument panel. You can see how close you are to objects behind and graphics superimposed on the image indicate the vehicle's direction of travel. (Option, as part of Sony DAB navigation system at extra cost, on C-MAX and Grand C-MAX Titanium).
Hill Start Assist
This innovation prevents you from rolling backwards when making a hill start. After releasing the brake when stationary, the technology keeps the wheels braked and assists the driver to move away safely.
*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.
EcoBoost petrol engine evolution
EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engines deliver more torque and power with 18% greater fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions of up to 18% compared to the 2.0-litre Duratec petrol engine. You'll enjoy the larger engine performance with the fuel economy of a much smaller unit.
Ford Duratorq diesel technology
Advanced engineering combines performance with outstanding fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. The 2.0-litre 140 PS Duratorq TDCi now delivers more power with even more refinement giving impressive fuel efficiency of 55.4 mpg (combined cycle) and CO2 emissions of just 139 g/km* (in the manual transmission C-MAX).
Ford PowerShift transmission
Engines are complemented by advanced PowerShift six-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission – making driving smoother, more fun and up to 10% more fuel-efficient.
Sony DAB audio system

Ford Power Starter Button
The days of inserting your key into the ignition to start the car are gone. You simply push the starter button while holding the clutch down (or brake pedal on an automatic) and the engine fires into life.
Panorama roof
The one-piece panorama roof gives the whole family a stunning sense of freedom, luxury and space. The power-operated sunblind lets you effortlessly control the amount of light that floods in from overhead.

Seatbelt minder
The Grand C-MAX features a seatbelt minder system. It will alert the driver visually and audibly if seat belts are unfastened before you drive off or while you’re on the move.
Blind Spot Information System
This high-tech visual aid is available to help make journeys more relaxing, especially on motorways. As another vehicle enters your blind spot, the system alerts you by illuminating a warning light in the relevant door mirror.
Speed Limiter
Available as part of cruise control, this system lets you set your top speed between 19 to 70 mph. The engine management system ensures you keep within your set limit, helping you concentrate on the road ahead rather than the speedometer. (Standard on C-MAX and Grand C-MAX Titanium).

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.
