Ford C-MAX Energi Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Ford C-MAX Energi is a five-passenger multi-activity vehicle offering high mileage and low emissions as well as distinctive body
design and a flexible interior. The plug-in hybrid provides maximum fuel efficiency by pairing a high-voltage lithium-ion battery and
electric traction motor with a high-efficiency Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine. This means the gasoline engine does not have to run
all the time.

SmartGauge display
C-MAX Hybrid uses a version of the SmartGauge display in other Ford hybrids. Long-term fuel efficiency
can be displayed in two ways – either as a traditional chart or using an innovative display that shows a
growing leafy vine on the right side of the cluster. The more efficient a customer is, the more lush and
beautiful the leaves and vines, creating a visual reward for the driver’s efforts.
