Are Ford Grand C-Max any good?

The Ford Grand C-MAX is softer than the five-seat C-MAX, but it still puts a smile on your face in the way few MPVs can. It’s agile and has great steering – its slightly more compliant ride lending it a more grown-up, but still enjoyable, demeanour. The engine line-up is impressive, too.

Is C-Max a 7 seater?

The Ford Grand C-MAX can seat seven, but it’s actually a mid-sized MPV because of its relatively small footprint. And while the Grand C-MAX is fun to drive, it’s also practical, with sliding rear doors that provide easy access to the second and third rows of seats.

Which is bigger S-Max or C-Max?

Why was the Ford C-Max discontinued?

Ford is dropping the Grand C-Max, shown, because of a sharp drop in demand as customers switch to SUVs and crossovers.

How big is the boot space in a Ford Grand C Max?

With all seven seats upright and in use, boot space is limited to just 92 litres, but fold them flat and this expands to a full 1742 litres should you need it. Standard kit is generous, with three trims to choose from.

How many seats does a grand C Max have?

The seven-seat Grand C-MAX has more overall space than the conventional five-seat version – just don’t expect to make use of it all when the back two seats are upright and in use. Fold them down though, and you have a large boot.

Is there extra space in the back of a Ford C Max?

Because the rear seats are not adjustable, as is the case with other vehicles of a similar size, the best way to get extra space is to fold them forward – or follow the fiddly process of removal. Once folded or removed their absence leaves a slightly impracticable and uneven additional space.

What kind of bench does Ford C Max have?

The C-MAX can also be ordered with a clever rear bench that splits 40/20/40, which allows you to fold the centre seat and slide the outer seats backwards and inwards to create a more spacious 2+2 layout.
