2013 Ford C Max Overview
Introduction
The 2013 Ford C-Max is a versatile and efficient compact multi-purpose vehicle that offers an engaging drive while providing a spacious interior for families and those on the go. Designed with modern style and functionality in mind, the C-Max seamlessly blends fuel efficiency with ample storage, making it an appealing choice for eco-conscious drivers seeking a practical solution without sacrificing comfort.
Powertrains
The Ford C-Max is available with two distinct powertrains, both of which emphasize fuel efficiency without compromising performance. The standard model boasts a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor, producing a total output of 188 horsepower. This hybrid setup allows the C-Max to achieve impressive fuel economy figures, with an EPA rating of 47 mpg combined. For those seeking a more eco-friendly option, the C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid enhances electric-only driving capability, allowing for short commutes using just electric power before seamlessly transitioning to hybrid mode.
Trims
The 2013 Ford C-Max comes in three main trims: the C-Max Hybrid SE, C-Max Hybrid SEL, and C-Max Energi. The SE trim offers a well-rounded array of features, including a rearview camera, a touchscreen infotainment system, and keyless entry. Stepping up to the SEL trim adds premium features like leather seating, a premium sound system, and a navigation system. The Energi variant includes all SEL features, along with a larger battery pack for extended electric-only driving, making it perfect for urban commuters.
Features
The C-Max is equipped with a range of thoughtful features designed for convenience and safety. These include SYNC voice-activated technology, a hands-free liftgate, and a range of advanced safety systems such as stability control and multiple airbags. The spacious interior provides generous legroom for passengers and innovative storage solutions, including configurable cargo space and multiple cup holders, ensuring every journey is comfortable.
Owner's Manual
To fully understand and enjoy the capabilities of the 2013 Ford C-Max, the owner's manual is an invaluable resource. It includes comprehensive information about the vehicle’s features, maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting tips. Owners can refer to the manual for guidance on optimizing fuel efficiency, understanding dashboard warnings, and connecting devices to the SYNC system, ensuring that they make the most of their C-Max experience.

The Ford C Max owner manual for the 2013 model year is to be found in PDF downloadable format on this page. The owner manual for the model year 2013 is free and in English, but the repair manuals are usually not easy to get and may cost more.
