2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid Rated at 47 MPG, 188 HP; Priced From $25,995

Written by: Jake Holmes [G+] on July 5, 2012 8:30 AM

"Ford has finally revealed some key numbers on its upcoming 2013 C-Max Hybrid: fuel economy, horsepower, and driving range. The automaker is proud of the fact that its C-Max Hybrid is cheaper, more fuel-efficient, and more powerful than its closest rival, the Toyota Prius V.

The 2013 C-Max Hybrid is expected to return 47/44 mpg (city/highway), which would give the car a maximum driving range of 500 miles. That beats out the economy of the Prius V by three mpg on the highway and three mpg in the highway, as the Toyota is rated for 44/40 mpg.

Ford also revealed the total system power of its C-Max Hybrid will be 188 hp. The powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter inline-four gasoline engine with an electric motor/generator and lithium-ion battery pack. The combined output figure again trumps that of theToyota Prius V, which has a 1.8-liter inline-four engine and electric motor that produce a total of 134 hp.

The C-Max Hybrid is a tall, five-passenger hatchback that will be built alongside the Ford Focus in Wayne, Michigan. Dealerships are now taking orders for the car, which will launch this fall. The 2013 C-Max Hybrid starts at $25,995 (including destination), a price which undercuts the Toyota Prius V’s base price by $1285.

Ford hopes the combination of a low entry price and lofty fuel economy will entice more new customers to try a hybrid vehicle for the first time. The company hopes that half of all C-Max Hybrid buyers will be conquests, that is, customers who don’t currently own a Ford vehicle.

Later this fall, Ford will release the C-Max Energi, a plug-in hybrid version of the model that is supposed to have a better driving range and fuel economy than the Toyota Prius plug-in, because it has a larger battery than the C-Max Hybrid. The Prius PHEV is rated at up to 87 MPGe (a measure comparing the efficiency of electric and gasoline-powered cars), with an all-electric driving range of 15 miles."

Ford Developing Hands-Free Perpendicular Parking Feature, Other Automated Technology

By Anita Lienert, Correspondent | Published Jun 27, 2012

"Just the Facts:

• Ford on Tuesday announced it is working on more automated features for its future vehicles, including a hands-free perpendicular parking feature.
• Another innovation is Traffic Jam Assist, which helps a vehicle keep pace with other vehicles in traffic and provides automated steering control.
• Company officials did not say which vehicles would get the new technologies, how much they'll cost or what the specific timetable is for a rollout.

DEARBORN, Michigan — Ford took another step toward a hands-free world for drivers on Tuesday, with the announcement that it is working on advanced semi-automated vehicle technology including hands-free perpendicular parking. The automaker is also working on Traffic Jam Assist, which would help motorists keep pace with other vehicles in traffic and provides automated steering control.

Ford did not say which of its vehicles would get the new technologies, how much they might add to the price of a vehicle nor what the timetable could be for a rollout of the new systems. However, officials did indicate that the perpendicular parking feature (which builds on the company's current active park assist that enables parallel parking without touching the steering wheel), would be available in the "near" term.

Both technologies are designed "to reduce driver stress and reduce gridlock," said Ford in a statement.

Automated parallel parking, which first showed up a couple of years ago in such vehicles as the Lexus LS 460 and Toyota Prius, is on the way to becoming commonplace.

Ford said that its perpendicular parking system uses the vehicle's rear park distance control sensors to monitor for obstructions not seen by the driver when backing into a parking space.

"Where there is insufficient space to complete the maneuver in one attempt, the system might ask the driver to shift the vehicle into Drive and Reverse as necessary," the company notes. "Once the vehicle is perfectly positioned, the driver gets a finish signal."

The automaker's Traffic Jam Assist, another so-called "intelligent driving technology," uses radar and cameras to help a vehicle keep pace with other vehicles in traffic and provides automated steering control. Ford said such a system "can be overridden at any time.""
