Asked by Fordcmaxfan Mar 03, 2014 at 01:08 PM about the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid SEL FWD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I own a Ford C-Max and I/we are really enjoying it.  I have had it for nearly 11 months now.  I have noticed for the past 11 months that the Ford C-Max is rarely if ever seen on or in any Ford advertising spots on TV.  Just wondering why Ford is NOT being more up front in attempting to advertise the C-Max?

Are you getting the mileage they advertised? I understand a unsatisfied owner sued Ford for that very reason

Excellent mpg's. Usually 41 to 46 by the time for a fill up. If you drive it hard you will not get these numbers. Just drive sensibly and you will get good results. Driving this car is a lot of fun. It has plenty of power and rides like a bigger car, due to the weight and suspension. I am a geek at heart and love all of the technology the car has. If you have not, be sure to test drive one. You will be surprised.

I like my 2014 C Max a lot but have never averaged above 46 MPG. Mileage has always been lower on highways and in the cold. Winter long distance driving averages 38 /39 MPG tops. Car takes 10 minutes to heat up enough to run on the battery. Wished I lived somewhere warm... and flat.

I thought I'd chime in here, because the car definitely gets the MPG Ford originally advertises. I had a 2015 and now a 2016. I drove a total 90k miles between the two. Over 75% is highway driving. My all time average is 45MPG. That's with 20-30% of highway driving being over 75MPH. I'd estimate at least 15-20% of highway driving was done between 85 and 100 MPH. Most importantly, I never discharged the battery more then 50% and still got 45MPG. More economical driving could easily average 47+ MPG. On the highway driving in a moderately hilly area, on a 60 mile trip I would regularly 48-52 MPG. Ford made the best plug-in hybrid ever made and no one noticed. A perfect combination of econonomy, comfort and performance.
