It features a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine coupled with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 188 horsepower. The powertrain is mated to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) that ensures smooth and efficient power delivery. The vehicle's 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides an all-electric range of approximately 20 miles and can be fully recharged via a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet, with charging times of about 7 hours and 2.5 hours respectively.

The vehicle also comes with a variety of standard and optional safety features, including a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.

The cargo capacity of the C-Max Energi is slightly reduced compared to its non-plug-in counterpart due to the battery pack, but it still offers a versatile storage space with a flat load floor when the rear seats are folded down. With a combined EPA rating of 95 MPGe in electric mode and 39 MPG in hybrid mode, the Ford C-Max Energi 2017 stands out as an efficient and versatile choice for eco-conscious drivers.
