The 2016 Ford C-Max Energi is a compact plug-in hybrid that combines efficient performance with advanced technology. It features a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-4 gas engine paired with an electric motor, together generating a combined 195 horsepower when using the lithium-ion battery. This hybrid system is mated to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT), providing seamless acceleration and enhanced fuel efficiency. The C-Max Energi offers an all-electric range of approximately 19 miles, with a total range of up to 550 miles when the gas engine is engaged.

The vehicle boasts a regenerative braking system that recaptures energy during braking and stores it in the battery. Charging the battery takes approximately 7 hours using a standard 120-volt outlet, or around 2.5 hours with a 240-volt charging station.

The interior features a modern design with high-quality materials and seating for five. The MyFord Touch infotainment system includes an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin also includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, and ample cargo space, with 19.2 cubic feet available behind the rear seats.

Safety features are robust, with standard offerings such as seven airbags, stability and traction control, antilock brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Advanced safety options include a rear parking sensor and blind-spot monitoring.
