Is the Ford C-Max a 5 or 7 seater?

The Ford C-Max is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that is available in both 5-seat and 7-seat configurations. The specific seating capacity of the C-Max model depends on the specific trim level and options selected.


5-Seat Configuration


The standard Ford C-Max model comes equipped with a 5-seat configuration. This includes two front seats and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat that can accommodate three passengers. The 5-seat C-Max provides ample passenger and cargo space for most families and small groups.,


7-Seat Configuration


Some Ford C-Max models are available with an optional 7-seat configuration. This adds a third-row bench seat that folds flat into the floor, increasing the total seating capacity to seven passengers. The 7-seat C-Max provides more flexibility for larger families or when needing to transport additional passengers. However, the third-row seating does reduce the overall cargo space compared to the 5-seat model.,


Choosing the Right Configuration


When selecting a Ford C-Max, buyers should consider their typical passenger and cargo needs to determine whether the 5-seat or 7-seat configuration is the better fit. The 5-seat model offers a more spacious cargo area, while the 7-seat version provides additional seating capacity when required. Ultimately, the choice will depend on the specific requirements of the buyer and their family.

Which is bigger, the Ford B-Max or the C-Max?


While the B-MAX was based on the Fiesta, the C-MAX was based on the larger Focus hatchback. The C-MAX lacked the sliding doors of the B-MAX, but had a larger boot (over 100 litres more), while the cabin space was that bit bigger, especially in the back where the C-MAX could comfortably accommodate three adults.



Which is bigger, C-Max or S-Max?


The C-Max is the smallest car, and it has a 432-litre boot, which is more space than you'd get in a Focus. This extends to 1,684 litres with the rear seats folded down. Then, there's the S-Max, which has a 965-litre boot in five-seat form, and a 2,020-litre space in two-seat form.
