What is the capacity of the C-Max?

The Ford C-Max is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that offers a spacious and versatile interior. The key specification for the C-Max is its seating capacity, which allows it to accommodate up to five passengers comfortably.


Seating Capacity


The Ford C-Max is available in two seating configurations: a standard five-seat layout or an optional seven-seat layout. The standard five-seat configuration features two front seats, two rear seats, and a fold-down middle seat in the second row.


For those who need additional seating, the optional seven-seat layout adds two additional fold-out seats in the third row. This allows the C-Max to transport up to seven passengers, making it a practical choice for larger families or those who frequently transport multiple people.


Cargo Space


In addition to its seating capacity, the Ford C-Max also offers ample cargo space. With the rear seats folded down, the C-Max provides up to 52.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. This makes it a versatile vehicle that can accommodate a variety of items, from sports equipment to large purchases.
