The Ford C-Max is a compact MPV that uses the Ford C1 platform like the Ford Focus Mk II and Premacy / Mazda 5, and also has a rear independent suspension borrowed from the Focus model. The car's design features elements of Ford's 'Kinetic Design' style, including a trapezoidal front grille, large wheel arches and high-beam taillights. The car seats five passengers and has a large trunk that can be enlarged by folding the rear seats. Some models have side sliding doors.
