The interior of the C-Max looks smart and modern, as you would expect in a new-for-2013 model. The quality and fit of materials shows a major effort by Ford to match or exceed the best interiors in this class. The tall cabin really opens up with optional panoramic sunroof, which looks and operates like it belongs on a much more expensive car.
Buyers have a choice between standard-issue SE and upscale SEL trim levels. The SE is equipped with most popular comfort and convenience features, plus some goodies you might not expect on a base model such dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and Ford's Sync voice-activated electronics interface. Moving up to the SEL gets you heated leather seats (front only), a power driver seat, fog lamps, heated side-view mirrors and more. SEL models can also be equipped with luxuries such as a nine-speaker Sony sound system, a rearview camera and an automatic-opening tailgate. Parking your SEL is a breeze with the optional front parking sensor and automatic parallel parking system.
