2014 Ford C-Max review

1. Hybrid engine benefits 

This versatile hatchback wagon is the ideal companion for your daily driving adventures. Under the hood of the 2014 Ford C-Max is a potent partnership, a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine and an onboard electric motor, together producing a satisfying 188 hp. For shuttling between work appointments, or running household errands, the FWD 2014 C-Max delivers a satisfying EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined, allowing you to make the most of your time on the road. 

2. SE trim technology 

If you want to soundtrack an epic coastal drive or rock out to your Monday morning motivational playlist, the 2014 C-Max SE base trim has the standard tech you’re looking for. Play your favorite music via the six-speaker sound system, sourced from the CD player, AM/FM radio, auxiliary jack, or USB port interface. With Bluetooth® technology also standard for this 2014 SE trim, you can connect to your online playlists via a compatible smartphone device and access hands-free calling.  

3. Road trip-ready storage 

Traveling with your crew on a big vacation means lots of travel essentials, and in the 2014 Ford C-Max, there's a place for it all. For your second-row passengers, the in-floor stowage bins and front seatback pockets keep everything clutter-free. Up front, an overhead storage bin, illuminated glove box, and center console bin keep your essentials out of sight, yet still close to hand, for grabbing when needed.  

4. Upscale seating 

With seating for five across two rows, it's good to know this hatchback wagon has plenty of space for your favorite companions to get comfortable. Up front, stone beige or charcoal black bucket seats come in standard cloth or available leather upholstery. Legroom inches, even for taller passengers, are pleasing too, with 40.4 inches up front and 36.5 inches in the second row. The SEL trim adds ambient interior lighting for an additional luxury touch. 

5.  Package options 

The 2014 C-Max wagon has several available packages and stand-alone options that enhance the standard SE and SEL trim features. For a light-filled interior cabin, a panoramic fixed-glass roof is an available add-on for both 2014 C-Max trims. The SEL trim’s available equipment packages include practical conveniences like a power liftgate with foot-activated hands-free opening, and active park assist, for automated steering assistance on parking maneuvers.
