Is the Ford C-Max a good first car?

A recent
graduation, a first-time driver’s license, new to the country – there are many
reasons to buy your first car. But the waters are deep and narrowing down all
the choices to just one is no easy feat. For your first car, you’re going to
want something that is fantastic on fuel, is easy to drive, has enough space
and definitely is a Ford. In Southern California, you should take a look at the
Ford C-Max
for your first car, and here are a few reasons why.
Incredible
Fuel Economy
The Ford
C-Max Hybrid has fantastic fuel economy from its 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle I4
engine, combined with a 1.4-kWh lithium-ion battery. It has an EPA-estimated
fuel efficiency of up 42 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.* Along with regenerative
braking and Ford’s SmartGauge with EcoGuide, you have help getting the best
fuel efficiency out of the Ford C-Max.
And if a
pre-owned Ford is in the cards, check out the C-Max Energi. As a plug-in electric
vehicle, the C-Max Energi can go even further without refueling on gas.
The Space
You Need
You’ll be
headed places all over Southern California, and you’ll need space for your
friends, family, and your stuff. The Ford C-Max maximizes its small footprint
for passengers and cargo. Comfortably seat up to five people in the cabin with
best-in-class passenger volume and you’ll still have up to 24.5 cu. ft. of
cargo room. Or, fold down the rear-seat and you’ll have space for up to 52.6
cu. ft. of school books, moving boxes, sports equipment, or luggage.
SYNC 3
You should
always keep your hands on the steering wheel, whether it’s your first car or
not. Ford makes that more convenient than ever with available SYNC 3 in the
Ford C-Max Hybrid. It has intuitive voice-activated technology for an extremely
smooth use. SYNC 3 is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping
you connected while you’re in your car. Connect to SYNC 3 Applink for access to
Alexa too. It opens-up possibilities like Voice Navigation, Traffic
Information, and even Amazon Prime shopping, all from the driver’s seat.
It’s So
Stylish!
Don’t you
want to show off in your first car? Of course, you do, and that’s easy when it
looks as good as the Ford C-Max. The sleek four-door hatchback design is
attractive as much as it’s functional, combining the easy driving nature of a
small passenger car with the stance and space of a small SUV.
Inside the
C-Max Hybrid, it’s just as stylish. Ambient LED lighting, leather seating, a
panoramic sunroof, and a stunning array of controls in the center console give
the Ford C-Max the appeal you want when you’re picking up friends and family
for the first time.
It’s a
highly-efficient, great-looking, and extremely functional small hybrid vehicle,
and it’s made by Ford. The Ford C-Max Hybrid can be your first car, and it’s
available at your local Southern
California Ford dealers.
*EPA-estimated city/hwy mpg for the model indicated. See fueleconomy.gov for fuel economy of other engine/transmission combinations. Actual mileage will vary.
