Ford C-MAX data analysis

How Ford C-MAX EPA electric range varies

Across 3 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2017 Ford C-MAX, EPA electric range runs from 550 miles to 570 miles. The strongest figure belongs to the 2017 Ford C-MAX at 570 miles, and the weakest to the 2016 car at 550 miles — a spread of 4%. The narrow spread means any year of the Ford C-MAX in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.

What changed for 2017

Average EPA electric range for the 2017 Ford C-MAX is 570 miles, against 550 miles for the 2016 car — it rose by 20 miles. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.

How to read this Ford C-MAX data

This page lists every 2015 through 2017 Ford C-MAX record we hold for this measurement — 3 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Ford C-MAX figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Ford C-MAX record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
