The 2012 Ford C-Max

The world of cars is changing rapidly. With alternative fuels being push around the world, it is just a matter of time before we say goodbye to the gasoline powered internal combustion engine that has served us for well over a century.

But that day is still years, possibly decades away. In the meantime, car manufacturers are continuing to not only further develop and enhance gasoline powered engines, but to reduce their size, increase their output, and put them in increasingly sensible, “right-sized” cars.

Such is the case for the 2012 Ford C-Max, which was recently introduced to the automotive press. Based on the next generation European Ford Focus, the C-Max is the future of the automobile in the United States.

It combines a healthy amount of passenger space and load carrying ability, with a size considerably smaller than the last generation of compact SUV’s, yet gives up little to nothing in the amount it can haul. Style-wise, it has a please, compact, well proportioned shape, that is neither car nor SUV, nor minivan.

And under the hood, we will be treated with Ford’s latest EcoBoost engines. This technology allows for an incredible horsepower output with very little penalty in gas mileage. The C-Max should be fitted with a 1.6 liter version of this engine.

While this may seem tiny, the motor will be in the vicinity of 160 horsepower, yet should return gas mileage in the mid to high 30’s.

For years, Ford has kept their beautiful, well designed, highly regarded European models stashed away across the pond. Finally, starting with the Ford Fiesta in 2010, the U.S. customer will finally be able to get a taste of the very best Ford has to offer.
