Overview
Cars like the 2014 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 Ford C-Max Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a single motor hybrid system and a 1.4 kWh battery to produce 188 horsepower. This gives the C-Max Hybrid 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 C-Max Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the compact wagon, the C-Max Hybrid competes directly with the Toyota Prius V, other closest rivals in the compact hatchback segment include the Honda Insight hybrid and the Chevrolet Volt Hybrid. It offers 2 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $24,170.
