1. Driver controls
For growing families or roommates who share a vehicle, the 2015 C-Max has the conveniences you need to keep everyone happy on the road. When your teen driver asks for your vehicle, the 2015 C-Max offers you peace of mind with Ford’s MyKey® driver monitoring technology.

When extreme summer or winter temperatures strike, this C-Max’s dual-zone automatic climate control can keep your cabin deliciously cool, or cozy. If you’re sharing the 2016 C-Max with a partner or friend, the driver setup makes things easy for you too, with a height-adjustable driver seat and tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel also included as standard.
3. Hybrid powertrain
This useful hatchback wagon is a great daily driver, particularly if you’re looking to make the most of your miles between fill-ups. The front-wheel-drive 2015 Ford C-Max is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an onboard electric motor, working together to deliver a pleasing 188 hp. For days filled with errands, school drop-offs, and work commutes, the 2015 C-Max achieves an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined.
4. Storage options
When your five-seat 2015 C-Max is full of family and friends, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a place for their travel essentials. For quick access to drink bottles and devices, the front-door cubbies can hold them close by. An overhead storage console serves the driver well too, stowing maps, sunglasses, and toll passes within reach. For your rear-row crew, convenient in-floor stowage bins keep their snacks and games neatly tucked away.
5. Cabin dimensions
From daily commutes to a day spent hauling white goods and furniture for a friend's apartment move, the 2015 C-Max can do it all. Even your tallest companions will love the 2015 C-Max seat dimensions, with 43.1 inches of legroom up front and 36.5 inches to the rear, everyone can get comfortable, and stay that way over many miles. For big box moves, drop the 60/40 second-row bench seat to reveal 52.6 cu-ft of useful cargo cubes.
