Seth7721 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I just found this pic on Ford.com!!! It doen't look like the current C-max Hybrids front grill!!! Could it be the 2015 C-max??? To find it for yourself, just click C-max hybrid on Fords website then scroll down, and it will be the second pic on the selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwil56 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Looks a lot like the Focus front end. If this is in fact a new front grille design, I'm glad I got a 2014. Of course, the 2015 Focus lower grille area looks more like the current C-Max/Fusion, Aston Martin design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostby Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Unlikely, but nothing is impossible. I'm fairly certain it's a 2011 or newer Grand C-MAX.http://www.automotorblog.com/the-new-ford-grand-c-max-at-geneva-motor-show/It's got the 2011 and newer European C-MAX and Grand Max front grille, and roof rails, like the Euro Grand Max. With all the MPG re-rating going on, I doubt that Ford would take of another few tenths by making the roof rails standard, but they could now be a factory option.

That means better fuel economy finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can clearly see it's not, by the signature C-max Hybrid bar where the Ford emblem is. The Grand C-max doesn't have that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassidyB Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Looks like a Euro Spec vehicle...That picture has been around for a long time. Edited June 18, 2014 by CassidyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grand C-max doesn't have that...Yes, the newer ones absolutely have the bar in the upper grille. The first pic I found online of a Euro-spec Grand C-MAX was from 2010.Here's another link to the intro announcement in September 2010, showing the C-MAX with a grille bar and the Grand C-MAX without...http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2010/09/ford-c-max-grand-c-max-pricing.html Here's the current German-language Ford.de page with the Grand C-MAX at left and the C-MAX at right. Both have the thin chrome strip across the upper grille.It will probably probably take several clicks to see the close-up...http://www.ford.de/Pkw-Modelle/FordC-MAX/Aussenansicht Edited June 18, 2014 by kostby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
