The petrols kick off with two versions of the 1.0-litre Ecoboost three-cylinder engine, in either 100 or 125 trim, and a 1.6 125 four-cylinder unit, while diesels come in 1.5 TDCi and 2.0 TDCi Ford C-MAX MPV (2011 – ) review. Read the Ford C-MAX MPV (2011 - ) car review by Auto Trader's motoring experts, covering price, specification, running costs, practicality, safety and how it drives. Expert review 9 years ago The Ford EcoBoost is brilliant from a performance perspective. The engine is high revving and has lots of low-gear acceleration, which means it rasps through the gears at an impressive rate. Ford had some problems with the EcoBoost engine in older versions of the Fiesta (built between 2013 -2017) with some cars overheating due to a problem with Under the bonnet, most C-MAX buyers in search of petrol power will be looking at the two 1.0-litre EcoBoost engines and the choice Ford gives of either 100 or 125PS power outputs. Otherwise, potential buyers will be wanting to look at a diesel, probably the 120PS 1.5-litre unit. Honest John Overall Rating Mid-sized, five-seater MPV is nearly as good to drive as the Ford Focus that it’s based on, and offers plenty in the way of practicality. Neat styling. More practical than a Ford Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. High-quality interior. What we have here for your delectation is the, undoubtedly more attractive, 5 seat C-MAX in range topping Titanium X flavour, powered by that all important, diminutive lump, the 1.0l Ecoboost engine. Although the C-MAX shares the Focus’ platform and is slightly enhanced in terms of both length and width (4380mm x 2067mm vs 4358mm x 2010mm The 1.0L EcoBoost firstly became available in 2012 in the Ford Focus and C-Max. Currently, this power unit has a wide range of applications in deferent power versions. The engine fits very well in many types of vehicle - from the small hatchback Ford Fiesta to a mid-size car like Ford Mondeo (D segment). Firstly, for such a small engine the EcoBoost 1.0 delivers a healthy wallop of torque at low rpm. Secondly, it feels and sounds very much like a small diesel engine, even though it runs on DKx1CkX.
