The 2013 Ford C-Max is a compact hybrid car available in both Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid models. For the Hybrid, it uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine combined with an electric motor, generating a total of 188 horsepower. The Energi model offers a similar setup, but with a larger battery pack providing up to 21 miles of pure electric range. Both models come with a front-wheel-drive layout and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Key safety features include seven airbags, stability control, and optional parking sensors. The infotainment system on the Ford C-Max features a touch screen with Ford's SYNC voice-activated system and navigation. This year's C-Max presents good reliability scores and is praised for its agile handling and upscale interior, which may surprise those familiar with ordinary hybrid models.
