Overview

Cars like the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid 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 C-Max Wagon uses its 2.0L Inline-4 and a 88 kW electric traction motor to produce 188 horsepower. This gives the Ford C-Max Wagon a 0-60 of 8.1 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 2013 C-Max Wagon achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the subcompact wagon, the C-Max Wagon competes with the Toyota Prius V. Buyers can also consider indirect rivals from the compact hatchback segment like the Honda Insight hybrid. C-Max offers 2 trims, starting off at MSRP $24,200.

Buying Advice

The Ford C-Max SE Wagon would suffice most buyers with its standard and optional features. However, those who desire extra luxuries can plunge in for the SEL trim and its options.
