Seven-seater Ford Grand C-Max. Seven-seater Ford Grand C-Max Typical problems and malfunctions

It is one of the leading automobile companies in the world. Car brands Ford / Ford have been sold for more than a hundred years, during which the company has constantly worked to improve the cars it produces, increasing reliability, improving quality and comfort.

PRACTICAL COMFORT

The first thought that flashed through my head after I sat down in Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max, “I’m home!” Despite its compactness, it turns out to be very cozy and roomy.

Steering column switches, climate control buttons, and other little things are very conveniently located on the dashboard and are in sight. The calming, green illumination of the instrument panel, with easy-to-read dials and the liquid crystal display in its central part, which displays the information you need, will attract you from the first minutes of being in the car. The dashboard itself is made in a consistent Ford style, made of soft materials, with pleasant contours. The leather-upholstered seats have ample adjustment and a comfortable seating position, and the rear seats fold flat for increased seating. luggage compartment almost doubled. As for glove compartments, glove compartments and cup holders, there are plenty of them in the car, of any size and very well located. And above the driver’s head, on the ceiling, in place of the handle, there is a container for glasses, a small thing, but nice. There is an additional 12 volt socket in the trunk, which will allow you to take long trip a stand-alone refrigerator, the wire from which will not disturb you in the cabin or get under your feet.

The key is to start and..., no, we didn’t fly, as you might think, but we drove off dynamically and calmly. The operation of the 2.0 liter engine and automatic transmission is perfectly tuned and coordinated. Starting from traffic lights will not work, as I mentioned above, the Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max accelerates smoothly, but if you want to overtake someone on the highway, then such a maneuver can be done without difficulty. The suspension may seem harsh, but it handles both small holes and fairly large potholes, which are our road services they forget to patch it up on time. The same rigidity affects the handling of the Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max, for the better, the car does not roll in corners, and the steering wheel is moderately tight and responsive. The brakes did not go unnoticed by me either; they are more than enough, as is their balance, average pedal effort and smooth braking, which, it seems to me, plays a significant role in a comfortable ride. Another plus is the electric handbrake, you no longer have to pull the classic handle, just a slight movement and the electronics will do everything for you. Good sound insulation absorbs almost all noise from the engine and wheels. This is also helped by the audio package from Sony, installed at the client’s request, with support for the mp3 format, which is not yet common.

And of course such little things as automatic switching on lights, rain sensor, xenon, all this left me with only one option - to steer and enjoy. Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max is a really well-designed family car.

...knows Ford / Ford. Take a Ford Focus station wagon. It is placed in a cramped hangar in such a way that the gap between the car and the walls of the hangar is minimal, except for the ceiling. A small amount of explosives is placed in the car, and-and-and.... Ford Focus C-MAX / Ford Focus C-Max is ready! Joke. In reality, you can say this about the car: more headroom, more space for rear passengers, more functionality and comfort.

By the way, when talking about the Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max, you always want to insert the word “MORE”. And this is not strange, because a car can actually give you much more than it seems when you look at it from the outside.

Large doorways lead inside the car. And the wide-opening doors make getting into the car easy and comfortable. In a cozy Ford showroom Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max can comfortably accommodate four people, but if desired, a fifth person will not be at all strained here. Many adjustments for both front and rear (in the Ghia configuration) seats make it easy to choose a comfortable position for each passenger. Because of this, a long journey will seem less tiring, especially for young travelers.

As for things, there is also plenty of space for them. And it's not just the trunk. Pockets in the doors, plenty of glove compartments, cup holders, a couple of drawers under the rear seats - you're unlikely to have to hold anything in your hands.

The main place in the car is, of course, given to the driver. It should be comfortable, and the space around it should be functional. In the Ford Focus C-MAX / Ford Focus C-Max everything is like that. A few adjustments to the seats and steering wheel - and you can hit the road. Excellent visibility is provided by a fairly high seating position. Radio, climate control system, automatic transmission lever, electric hand brake- all this looks harmonious and, most importantly, is accessible to the driver. There is no need to stretch anywhere. An exception may be the glove compartment located opposite the front passenger on top of the dashboard. Only it is difficult for both the driver and the passenger to get to it. Otherwise, everything that is called is at hand.

The 2.0-liter engine is just new to the range Ford engines Focus C-MAX / Ford Focus C-Max. And we must admit that the decision to introduce an engine of this volume was very correct. For a car with automatic transmission Two liters of gears, which, by the way, are also economical, are now fully enough. They provide decent traction to the car and give confidence on the road at any speed.

I would like to note the car's handling. Starting from the shape of the steering wheel, which fits perfectly in the hands, and ending with the car’s reactions to its deviations, the controls left a pleasant impression. I am sure that fans of active driving will especially like it. In the control menu, by the way, you can change the operating algorithm of the electric hydraulic booster. And here everyone will find their own formula for the ideal steering wheel. Although, in general, the difference in settings seemed insignificant to me.

The suspension is also worthy of respect. Its comfort can amaze even seasoned aesthetes. Together with the control of the Ford Focus C-Max / Ford Focus C-Max, it completes the picture of the ideal family minivan, and leaves very, very good memories of the car as a whole.

I didn’t like reaching up to the glove compartment on the dashboard, and opening the hood with the key, too.

One day, Ford designers decided to create a multifunctional comfortable car with excellent driving performance; chic yet practical; fast but smooth. This is how it appeared Ford C-MAX. Subsequent changes to cosmetic and technical nature took the car even further high level among cars of its class. Fans of the car appreciate it for reliable engine, handling, spacious trunk, unpretentious and, with proper care, quite economical maintenance.

Original spare parts or a good fake?

It is no secret that there is multi-stage quality control during car production, as is customary in Germany. Strict control also applies to vehicle components. However, not everyone knows that original spare parts Ford C-Max, whether they are body or engine, are manufactured on the same assembly line as components for the car production line, and accordingly, they are also thoroughly tested.

Advantage original parts in their much higher wear resistance and practicality. “Original” spare parts reduce oil consumption, increase the service life of the oil pump, and allow you to remain optimal flow fuel, will protect the engine from costly repairs.

The Ford Focus C-MAX minivan, which began production in 2003, was created on the Ford C1 platform, the same as the second-generation and first-generation models. After restyling in 2006, the car received an updated exterior and interior, as well as the name Ford C-MAX.

The minivan had a five-seater interior, and under the hood they placed gasoline engines 1.6 (100 or 115 hp), 1.8 (125 hp) and 2.0 with 145 hp. With. Turbodiesel engines had a volume of 1.6 or 2.0 liters and a power of 90–136 hp. p., such versions were not officially supplied to the Russian market. A four-speed automatic transmission was offered paired with a two-liter gasoline engine, and for diesel cars, since 2008, a preselective automatic transmission has been available as an option. robotic box PowerShift gears. Production Ford models The first generation C-MAX ended in 2010.

2nd generation, 2010

The second generation Ford C-MAX minivan has been produced since 2010 in Spain and Germany. The five-seat version of this model was not sold in Russia, but the extended seven-seat version was supplied Ford Grand C-MAX was discontinued on our market in 2012. The regular C-Max has hinged doors leading to the second row of seats, while the Grand has sliding doors.

Ford C-MAX is equipped gasoline engines volume 1.6 liters: atmospheric power 100 l. With. or turbocharged, developing 150 or 180 horsepower, depending on the modification. The car is also equipped with 1.6 and 2.0 turbodiesels.

IN model range Ford has always had enough minivans. Judge for yourself: “C-Max” is an excellent “compact van” that can accommodate an “average family” and everything it needs; or “S-Max” - a minivan for “ big family", with plenty of luggage space and "great capabilities." But the “marketers” decided that it wouldn’t hurt to “fill the gap between them” by creating a compact but seven-seater car (and this is not so simple - the possibilities for transforming the interior, in this case, should be “outstanding”).

And, it should be noted, Ford engineers did an excellent job with the task - the result of their work was demonstrated in 2009 (in Frankfurt) under the name "Grand C-Max" - which, in short, is an extended "C-Max" (the second generation) with a seven-seater cabin.

A stylish “compact minivan” – yes, yes, that’s right! A car of this class cannot always be called “stylish,” but the Ford Grand C-Max is exactly that. Well, after restyling (carried out by 2015), it became even better (in addition, having received a number of improvements in terms of equipment and technology). Its appearance clearly shows the current “kinetic” design (recognizable from many other cars of this brand) - one look at this compact van is enough to understand what brand of car is in front of you.

Smooth lines, soft contours, a well-tailored body - all this is present in the Ford Grand C-Max, making it like a “stranger among its own” (in the subclass of compact minivans). This quality gives the “American European” a unique exclusivity and attractiveness.
The front part has beautiful and complex optics, between which there is an “Aston-Martin” false radiator grille. The hood is typical for minivans - it doesn’t stick out too much, but at the same time it’s not too chopped off. The feed of the “Grand C-Max” is made in the style “a la S-Max” - as if it was copied back“big brother”, they made it smaller and “stuck” it here - a simple and successful solution. Despite the “typical minivan profile”, the “Grand C-Max” exudes a certain “sportiness” - thanks to swollen wheel arches and many “aerodynamic elements” successfully integrated into the body design... + large wheels (the size of which varies from 16 to 18 inches , depending on the configuration).

What can be said about the appearance, based on all of the above? Well, the Ford Grand C-Max is a well-tailored car, with an attractive and modern design and successful solutions in the exterior, thanks to which this “American” will be “in style” both in an urban environment (in heavy traffic or in a parking lot in front of the office ), and on a country highway or in the yard of your own house.

The dimensions of this car are “universal” (it is large enough to provide capacity and compact enough to not be cramped in the city): length – 4519 mm (with a wheelbase of 2788 mm), width – 1828 mm, and height – 1694 mm. Its ground clearance is not high, but acceptable for this class of car: ~ 140 mm.

From appearance It's time to move on to the interior of the Grand C-Max compact minivan. Matching the exterior, the interior here is embodied in the same “kinetic” design, which suits the “Grand” very, well, just really well. The rather large and multifunctional steering wheel fits perfectly into the hands, and the control keys located on it make life much easier for the driver. Dashboard The Ford Grand C-Max is very good, the design is cool and thoughtful, information can be read from it in one fell swoop (and nothing interferes with this). Pleasant, unobtrusive lighting is pleasing to the eye, both at night and during the day.

When you first get inside this Ford, only one thing immediately alarms you - it is a very massive front panel, which, at first, seems to put a little pressure on the front passengers (but you can get used to it). The central console of the Grand C-Max is made in the form of “three floors” (after restyling it became more ergonomic - having acquired a large touch screen): at the very top there is, as already noted, a large touch screen (on which it is possible to display a lot of useful and necessary information). information that will always be before your eyes); on the “middle floor” there is “music”; Well, the lower “basement floor” is a haven for the climate control keys.

The most important thing that the Ford Grand C-Max can boast of is that it is large and comfortable interior, which is endowed with rich possibilities for transformation. The front seats have a pronounced profile on the sides - thanks to which they tenaciously hold the driver and front passenger. And the proposed choice of adjustments allows you to customize your “workplace” individually for yourself. The middle sofa easily accommodates three adult passengers (without being particularly cramped), but still there is not as much space as in the S-Max (of course, there is a separate chair for each). Unlike the “just C-Max”, the “Grand C-Max” also has a “gallery” - capable of accommodating two (adults can fit on it, but only children will be at ease (but, as they say in such cases, “ It’s better to go badly than to go well”).

Well, now about the most important thing that attracts about this compact van – the possibilities of transformation.

Here, depending on the situation, the cabin can be made seven-, five-, six- or two-seater. At the same time, the size will vary luggage compartment, the volume of which in the “seven-seater layout” is frankly insignificant - 65 liters, but it can be “increased” as necessary by sacrificing passenger seats - up to a maximum of 1867 liters of volume. Loading and unloading is noticeably easier: a perfectly flat floor (which is obtained by folding the seats) and a fairly low loading height.

Specifications. A wide range of gasoline and diesel power units are offered for the Grand Es-Max:

• The first include a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a volume of 1.6 liters (producing 125 Horse power and 159 Nm of peak thrust) and turbocharged “threes” and “fours” with a volume of 1.0-1.5 liters, producing 100-182 “mares” and 170-240 Nm of torque.
• Among the latter are 1.5-2.0 liter in-line “turbo-fours” with common rail injection, the performance of which is 95-170 “stallions” and 215-400 Nm of available output.

The arsenal of transmissions includes: a 5- or 6-speed “manual” gearbox, a 6-speed “robot” Power Shift or a 6-band “automatic” – directing the entire power reserve to the wheels of the front axle.

The Grand C-Max compact van is built on an extended front-wheel drive Ford Global C platform with independent suspension MacPherson type at the front, mounted on a subframe, and a proprietary rear “multi-link”. The car is equipped disc brakes all wheels (with ventilation in the front part) with ABS and EBD and a rack and pinion steering system, supplemented by electric power steering.
