Ford C-Max/Grand C-Max review

In typical Ford style, the C-Max in either guise is a bit dearer than its direct competitors, but you’ll forgive it that when you’re taking the long way home from dropping the kids off at football practice. Diesels offer great economy, the best being the 1.5 TDCi, which in five-seat C-Max guise averages 68.9mpg and emits 105g/km of CO₂. You ought to get 40-odd mpg out of the petrols too, so no C-Max can be described as uneconomical.
