Updated European-spec C-Max, which also comes in a longer wheelbase, a sliding door, the actual version-minivan, making its debut at the Paris Auto Show. Although that might seem like a very glamorous place for a pair of movers, Ford has done a good job of sprucing up the look C-Max for fashion-conscious families. Of course, we do not-and will-get larger, seven-passenger Grand C-Max, but the style changes made to the model five seats must ports to our C-Maxes with some changes.

We suspect that Ford may try to recapture some of the C-Max miles per gallon and are also trying to increase the driving range of electric only C-Max Energi, but we have to wait until the new C-Maxes hit our shores sometime next year to find out.

uropean C-Max, and when we contacted them, they do not reveal what, if any, non-related styling tamper with it in store for US-spec 2016 C-Max and C-Max Energi. We do not anticipate a drastic deviation from the chassis and powertrain during setup, however. Today the C-Max hybrid propulsion gear shares with the Fusion hybrid sedan, while the C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid borrows the heart and lungs of a plug-in Fusion.
