2016 Ford C-Max review

1. Hybrid power benefits 

If your friendship group loves traveling together, the 2016 Ford C-Max is a great choice for fun-packed weekends and trips into the city. The hybrid powertrain setup, a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine, and onboard electric motor deliver a robust 188 hp. With an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined, your crew can enjoy more time on the road together without constantly stopping for fuel.

2. Standard features 

With plenty of useful features and driver conveniences as standard, the 2016 C-Max SE base trim brings elevated ease to your time behind the wheel. Automatic headlights and cruise control functionality make multi-lane driving a breeze. For lengthy trips that call for shared driving duties, this 2016 C-Max’s height-adjustable driver seat and leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel offer everyone assured comfort. And when seasonal weather kicks in, your crew can find the right temperature for them via the dual-zone automatic climate control. 

3. Spacious passenger dimensions 

The 2016 C-MAX four-door wagon makes traveling with your multi-generational family easy. In the second row, two full sets of LATCH fixtures comfortably accommodate forward and rear-facing child and infant seats. Generous legroom allows adults to stretch out too, with 43.1 inches up front, and 36.5 inches for the second row. 

4. Package options 

Treat yourself to a 2016 C-Max wagon with additional features, via the available packages and stand-alone equipment add-ons. Pick a 2016 SEL model with the 301A equipment group features, and you’ll gain built-in navigation and a nine-speaker Sony® audio system upgrade. If you have early morning work shifts to get to, lock in a 2016 C-Max with the available remote start, via the vehicle key, to precondition your vehicle on cold winter mornings. 

5. Available infotainment system 

 For the 2016 model year, the C-Max infotainment interface gets a boost, with the introduction of Ford's Sync™ 3 voice-activated infotainment system. Available with a package add-on, or standard for the SEL trim, this enhanced tech features an eight-inch display screen with swipe-action capability and two smart-charging USB ports. Remain resolutely road-focused with the Sync® 3 system’s simple voice commands, they allow you to manage your audio, hands-free calling, climate control, and more.
