Overview
Cars like the 2016 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 Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine mated to a continuously variable transmission 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 2017 C-Max Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the compact wagon, the C-Max Hybrid competes directly only with the Toyota Prius v Wagon and the other closest rival Kia Niro Hybrid which belongs to the compact SUV segment. It offers 2 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $24,170.ÂÂ
