As the pricing for the all new 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid has been announced, dealers nationwide have started taking orders. Known as America’s most fuel-efficient hybrid utility vehicle, the price for the new 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid starts at $25,995, and is around $500 lower than its Japanese competitor, the Toyota Prius V. The new model is expected to feature an array of technologies including SYNC, MyFord Touch, SmartGauge with EcoGuide, a hand-free liftgate and more. Besides, the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid offers 99.7 cubic feet of passenger space while the Prius V offers 97 cubic feet. For cargo, C-MAX Hybrid has 60/40 split-fold rear seats that fold flat with 54.3 cubic feet of space behind the first row and 24.5 cubic feet behind the second row.

“C-MAX Hybrid offers better fuel economy, performance, technology and functionality than Prius v – and C-MAX Hybrid customers will pay less at the dealership and at the pump,” said Ken Czubay, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service.

“Ford is delivering the power of choice for leading fuel economy across its lineup – from EcoBoost to electrified vehicles – because customers increasingly want to save money at the pump, even as gas prices rise over time,” he added.

The 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor powered by a li-ion battery system. The company aims a better fuel economy than the 41 mpg Ford Fusion Hybrid. Let us hope for the best.
