| Ford C-Max Ford Motor Co. gives its new C-Max a more dynamic design and new technologies to boost the minivan's appeal. Ford's second-generation C-Max takes its "kinetic" design cues from the iosis MAX concept car unveiled at this year's Geneva auto show, incorporating features such as a coupe-like sweeping roofline. A 1.6-liter Ford EcoBoost direct-injection gasoline engine, semiautomatic parallel-parking and blind-spot detection are among the technologies that the C-Max will introduce to Ford models. The C-Max uses the automaker's first global C-segment platform, which will underpin other models, including the next-generation Focus, also coming in 2010. The C-Max will be launched in Europe in the second half of 2010. Ford has released few details on the new C-Max, but the carmaker is expected to add a seven-seat variant to the standard five-seat model. Ford also will show an electric version of the Focus, which was first unveiled at the Detroit auto show earlier this year. |
