Grand C Max * 7 Seater * MPV
Ford has announced plans to bring its 7 Seater Grand C-MAX to North America in late 2011.
The Grand C-MAX 7 Seater is based off Ford’s new c-segment platform, which is shared with the new Focus and the Mazda5. The small minivan marks the return of a Ford vehicle with sliding rear doors. Ford has yet to announce what will power the Grand C-MAX when it goes on sale here.
Total investment in the C-MAX program is almost $410 million (over €300 million), of which up to $36 million (around €27 million) is for the HEV and PHEV programmes
Ford’s Valencia Plant also to build the seven-seat version of the C-MAX for export to North America beginning in late 2011
Valencia was confirmed in 2009 as the European single source for all versions of the all-new Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX 7 Seater which launch later this year, and which feature a range of highly efficient new Ford EcoBoost petrol and Duratorq TDCi diesel engines.
With the new C-MAX family of models, Ford’s C-segment MAV customers will now have a choice of two alternative and distinctive models – the sporty five-seat C-MAX or the spacious 7 Seater Grand C-MAX, which features twin sliding doors and innovative seat design for outstanding space and flexibility.
The seven-seat version of the C-MAX model for North America will go into production in Valencia in late 2011.
