2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid: The Tale of the Tape

Now, there’s no way that the Ford C-MAX Hybrid will be a success if it only attracts customers who would otherwise buy a Toyota Prius v. So let’s run the numbers and compare the Blue Oval product to a couple of other potential rivals, along with the Prius v and, for kicks, the 2013 Ford Escape.

(Note: Volume is in cubic feet, and EPA grades are city/highway. Also, those are the most fuel-efficient choices within each model line, so we’re talking about the VW Jetta SportWagen diesel and the Ford Escape with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine; finally, the Mazda5 is a three-row vehicle, and its cargo measurements are for the third row folded and then both rear rows folded.)
