Hello, I am currently shopping for a new vehicle. What do you think of the 2016 Ford C-MAX Hybrid?
———————————
Hello Alain,
Here is a vehicle unknown to the general public and that Ford has not promoted at its fair value. It is versatile, and can today be compared to the Kia Niro Hybrid. In addition, it offers the advantage of very low fuel consumption. With this vehicle, roughly expect an average of just 5.5 L / 100 km.
Offering an interesting cargo volume, plenty of room for the occupants as well as frankly impressive comfort, the C-MAX was only a success because Ford did not see fit to advertise it, like Ford Escale and Edge. Its price was not always very competitive and availability (which was not an issue in 2016) was often reduced.
Corrosion is something to watch out for with the C-MAX, as with all Ford products of this generation, which first see their paint peel off, allowing rust to set in prematurely. The secret: regular cleaning of your vehicle, good rustproofing and, as much as possible, the application of a protective film on the sills and on the hood. In closing, know that the average price of a 2016 C-MAX with a mileage of around 80,000 km should be around $ 12,000. A very reasonable price considering the quality of the product.
