Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 18 litres for every 300 km, going by its 5.9 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $91.50. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the C-MAX suits
Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Living with the C-MAX
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 680 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the C-MAX answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the C-MAX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $91.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
