What is the MSRP for a 2016 Ford C-Max?

The 2016 Ford C-Max lineup consisted of two models: the Hybrid and the Energi plug-in hybrid. The Hybrid started at about $23,995, and the Energi started around $33,000, with higher trims and options pushing the price higher.


Overview of the 2016 C-Max lineup


Ford positioned the C-Max as a compact, efficient hatchback with two powertrain choices. MSRP varied by trim level, optional equipment, regional charges, and destination fees. The two-variant approach meant buyers could choose a lower-priced hybrid or a higher-priced plug-in hybrid depending on their EV needs.

Notes on pricing and availability


MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested price before taxes, title, and destination charges. Dealers could offer promotions, rebates, or discounts that altered the out-the-door price. Production of the C-Max continued through the late 2010s, with changes in availability by year and market.


Summary


For 2016, the Ford C-Max lineup offered two paths to efficiency: the Hybrid starting near $24,000 and the Energi plug-in starting around $33,000, with higher trims pushing toward the upper-$30k range. Buyers in 2016 could expect variation by trim, options, and location, plus potential incentives that affected final costs.
