Overview

The Ford C-Max is a compact MPV produced by Ford Motor Company from 2003 to 2019, featuring a five-door design. The first generation (2003-2010) was built on the Ford C1 platform and assembled in Saarlouis, Germany. It aimed to compete with models like the Renault Megane Scenic but faced delays due to technical challenges in developing a 7-seater version. This generation introduced various petrol and diesel engines alongside manual and automatic transmission options, including CVT and Powershift dual-clutch transmissions.
