Speed Car Review, The dedicated hybrid joins what's still a reasonably tiny listing of standalone hybrid models that's dominated by 5 Toyota Prius derivatives and the lowly Honda Insight. The Ford C-Max Hybrid's EPA rating is respectable — it falls at the rear of the Prius hatchback and Prius c — but forward of the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius v. The Prius v, which Ford says may be the C-Max's closest normal competitor, provides a EPA score of 44/40 mpg. The regular Prius hatchback gets 51/48 mpg. It's important to note that the Prius v will be significantly bigger than the C-Max Hybrid, offering a lot more cargo space; the C-Max Hybrid seems to have a comparable luggage potential to your regular Prius hatchback. The 2012 Toyota Prius v starts at $27,345, including a $795 hot spots charge, and the Prius hatchback start at $24,795, including a $795 desired destination fee.
The Ford C-Max Hybrid is truly available in SE and SEL trims. A plug-in hybrid model, called the C-Max Energi, is available for $33,745 and is capable of 20 miles purely on electricity. No term yet on the Energi's gas mileage rating. The Ford C-Max Hybrid will go on sale later this valuable fall. Hybrid will start at $25,995, including a $795 vacation spot fee.
Their main rivals, the prolonged range hybrid Chevrolet Volt, the Toyota Prius plug-in, and the electrical only Nissan leaf are slightly a tad far more expensive. Even so, the cost difference between these vehicles will be only a number of hundred dollars at the most so many auto industry observers do not believe that the C-Max Energi’s fairly stone-bottom part price will issue much to buyers of these cars. In any case, these observers argue, buyers of hybrid and electrical vehicles are clearly doing so for emotional, self-happy feelings prefer to than any rational motivations.
