The Ford Focus C-MAX is a compact MPV designed by Ford for the European market and built since 2003. It was the first to use the Ford C1 platform, also used by the Mk II Ford Focus, which was introduced a year later, and the compact MPV Premacy/Mazda5. With the introduction of the new large MPVs S-MAX and Galaxy, the C-MAX is the smallest of the MPV lineup from Ford. Its internal code name is C214.

In December 2006, the face-lifted version of the Focus C-MAX was introduced at the 2006 Bologna Motor Show. It will go on sale in the summer of 2007 and will be re-branded the Ford C-MAX in keeping with the larger Ford S-MAX and rumoured replacement for the Ford Fusion, the Ford B-MAX. [1]

It seats five passengers and has a large amount of cargo space, which can be increased by folding the rear seats flat. Some models feature diagonally sliding outer rear seats. It also shares the control blade independent rear suspension from the Focus I and Focus II.

The available engines are the same of the Focus — the petrol versions are the 1.4 L and 1.6 L aluminium Duratec, the 1.6 L Duratec Ti-VCT and the 2.0 L Duratec, while the diesel engines are the PSA-developed Duratorq 74 kW (100 hp) and 85 kW (110 hp) 1.6 L, Ford's own Lynx Duratorq 1.8 L 85 kW (115 hp), and the PSA-designed 100 kW (136 hp) 2.0 L.
