The FORD GRAND C-MAX (2012-15) 5DR GRAND MPV 2.0 TDCI DPF 140 EU5 ZETEC POWERSHIFT AUTO6 is a compact seven-seat MPV, aimed at buyers needing more flexibility than a family hatchback without moving to a large SUV. Sliding rear doors make access easier in tight parking spaces, while the taller cabin and adaptable seating suit everyday family life. The 140hp diesel with six-speed automatic is a useful choice for longer commutes and family trips, with relaxed progress when carrying passengers or luggage. It suits growing families, grandparents and active households more than drivers seeking a small, sporty car. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Volkswagen Touran, its sliding doors are a practical advantage.
