A compact car that defines the word “hybrid,” this is a vehicle designed to give you the most performance while humming as quietly as possible down the road. Its sturdy yet stylish exterior is perfectly matched with an interior that has more than enough room for your passengers and cargo. The 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid is available in two unique trim levels: the 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid SE and the 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid Titanium. Here at Portsmouth Ford, we will be glad to go over the differences between these trim levels and show you how driving a 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid in Portsmouth will take the way you travel to the next level.

The 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid is engineered to provide as much power as you need while simultaneously operating at maximum efficiency. A 2.0L iVCT Atkinson-cycle I-4 gasoline-powered engine and a lithium-ion battery can work in unison or separately via the motor and generator, depending on your preference. You can optimize how well the 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid does with the interior EcoSelect button, which will better regulate your heating or cooling, how aggressive your acceleration is and how your engine acts. The Regenerative Braking stores energy that typically is lost when you come to a stop or coast and transfers said energy to your battery, so you always have a source to draw on when you need it. The Brake Coach feature takes that a step further and will indicate what amount of braking will yield the most additional energy. The Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) gives you a seamless transition between gears and guarantees you will always have as much acceleration as you want when your tires meet the road. Our experienced team at Portsmouth Ford is ready to demonstrate how these features work and talk about how you will never have to worry about running out of power.

You can experience a wide suite of technology with the 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid. The internal SmartGauge® with EcoGuide is there to provide you with different LED displays on how you can change your driving habits to enhance your overall performance. The available SYNC® 3 system is simple to operate and allows you to use vocal commands without you ever having to take your attention off the road ahead. This system will give you access to navigation, music and contacts. The SYNC® 3 system also is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so that you always stay connected with your devices. Starting your 2018 C-Max Hybrid and heading out is now easier than ever, thanks to the Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start. It eliminates the need for you to fumble around in your pockets for your keys.
