The new Ford C-MAX will sit alongside the Ford S-MAX, voted Car of the Year 2007, to offer two stylish and sporty multi-activity vehicles.
Although originally launched as the Ford Focus C-MAX, Ford have chosen to give the freshened model its own identity similar to the S-MAX.
The cornerstone of the ‘MAX’ strategy is to give customers all the features, space and flexibility they need from a family vehicle but with a style that allows them to stand out in the crowd and maximise driving pleasure.
Detailed information and technical data for Ford C-MAX will be available closer to launch in 2007.

The new Ford Focus Coupé-Cabriolet combines open air motoring with the acclaimed comfort, stability and all-round practicality already associated with the top-selling Focus range. It goes on sale in October and will make its UK debut at the British International Motor Show in July.
Taking its place at the top of the Focus family tree alongside its sporty sister, the Focus ST, the new Coupé-Cabriolet uses a stylish and clever two-piece folding hardtop to give the car two distinct “personalities”. The roof function is neat, efficient and reliable: opening or closing takes just 29 seconds.It’s also big on practicality - with the roof closed, the Coupé-Cabriolet offers a best-in-class 534 litres luggage capacity, and with the hardtop stowed, there is still 248 litres of luggage space. No direct class competitor can offer more space.
