Overview
Cars like the 2018 Ford C Max Wagon might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Ford C Max uses its 2.0 Inline-4 engine and a 1.4kWh battery to produce 188 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Ford C Max a 0-60 of 7.9 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 Ford C Max Wagon achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the compact wagon, the Ford C Max doesn’t have any direct wagon competitors but competes indirectly with the Toyota Prius hybrid, the Honda Insight hybrid, and the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. It offers 2 trims, starting off at MSRP $24,175.
