Ford C-MAX MPV 2015 pictures

The Ford C-MAX is a five-seat MPV that shares many components with the Ford Focus

It's available with efficient diesel and EcoBoost petrol engines

A high roof gives extra headroom for all occupants of the C-MAX compared to a regular hatchback

The C-MAX is functional rather than beautiful, but interior space is the priority

The VW Golf SV, Renault Scenic and Citroen C4 Picasso are among the C-MAX's big rivals

On the road, Focus underpinnings ensure the C-MAX handles very well

A total of six engines is offered, but we'd advise against the entry-level 1.6-litre petrol

There are just three trim levels for the C-MAX, called Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X

A large windscreen gives a great view out the front of the C-MAX

The diesel engines are particularly suited to comfortable motorway cruising

Safety is assured by a five-star Euro NCAP rating

The C-MAX dashboard has much in common with other Ford interiors

A large screen in the middle of the dash is powered by Ford's SYNC infotainment system

There's room for three in the back of the C-MAX

ISOFIX child-seat mounts are fitted, too

The seats can be folded away to maximise boot space when needed

A variety of configurations means the C-MAX is quite versatile

With all seats in place, boot space is still generous
