Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The first thing buyers have to decide is whether they want the regular five-seat Ford C-Max or the more expensive, but more family-friendly, seven-seat Grand C-Max.

Opt for the five-seater, and there are five engines to choose from: 103bhp and 123bhp 1.6 petrols, a 148bhp 1.6-litre turbo petrol, and 113bhp 1.6 and 138bhp 2.0-litre diesels. Ford’s Powershift semi-automatic gearbox is available as an option on the 2.0-litre diesel.

In most cases, the choice of engine dictates the trim you get. The 103bhp 1.6-litre petrol is available only in entry-level Zetec trim, while the 123bhp 1.6, 148bhp 1.6 turbo and 138bhp 2.0-litre diesel bring the more luxurious Titanium trim. Only the 1.6-litre diesel is available as both a Zetec and a Titanium.
