PROS: The Grand C-MAX Zetec 1.6 can accomodate seven occupants. The car has great standard features and also achieved the top five star rating in the NCAP crash test making it a reliable and safe option for families.
CONS: This car does not have climate control or cruise control and some other features can only be added for an additional cost.
Despite its large size, this vehicle can reach a top speed of 115 mph and is quite quick off the mark as it can travel from 0-62 mph in a quick 12.3 seconds. This is thanks to the engine's decent 123 bhp power output which gives the car good grip and handling as well as moderate strength and power.
The car is also comfortable, spacious and good to drive but there is wind noise infiltration and this can be a problem and affects the car's overall refinement.
The car comes with alloy wheels as a standard and metallic paint is available for £495.
The interior will remain quite basic in terms of style and ultimate comfort, as leather seats are not an option. The inside of the car is however well equipped with Bluetooth, MP3 connectivity and CD player coming as standard. Satellite navigation can also be integrated with the Ford Grand C-MAX Zetec 1.6 5dr but will cost an extra £750.
A great bonus is that rear parking sensors come as standard to aid parking, which is ideal as the car is larger than most vehicles.
The car is also fitted with electric door mirrors and electric front windows, which is more convenient. Air conditioning is also fitted as standard.
As the car is a seven seater when the seats are upright there is only 92 litres of boot space on offer which is very limited but somewhat expected. When the rear seats are folded down the boot capacity increases to 1,742 litres, providing plenty of space for luggage.
The car is also covered for three years and 60,000 miles under warranty and this means reliability should not be a concern for buyers. Security levels are also high and the car comes with a great range of features designed to keep it and its occupants well protected on the road,
These features include central locking as well as a number of airbags fitted across key areas of the car and a built-in alarm which helps to keep the car safe from theft.
This spacious vehicle has a lot to offer and is available from £19,295.
Fuel efficiency is 40.9 mpg on the combined cycle which is good for a vehicle of this size and class and carbon emissions of 159 g/km place the car into road tax band G. This keeps these costs manageable and combines with low insurance premiums, which fall under bracket 13, to make the car cheap to keep on the road.
