Ford of Europe has released the first official images of the all-new Ford C-MAX, which will make its global debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The show opens to the public between September 17 and 27, 2009.

The new Ford C-MAX takes its design cues from the stunning iosis MAX concept car unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, and brings new levels of style and desirability to the compact multi-activity vehicle (MAV) market.

Departing from usual MAV thinking by using Ford's 'kinetic design' styling language to adopt a more dynamic passenger-car look, the new model features a coupé-like, sweeping roofline while still retaining the established Ford C-MAX hallmarks of comfort, space, and practicality.

The new Ford C-MAX will introduce a host of new technologies to the Ford range, including an all-new 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost direct injection petrol engine and other advanced features to enhance convenience and safety such as semi-automatic parallel parking and a blind-spot detection system.

The Ford C-MAX will be launched in the second half of 2010 and is the first in a new generation of global vehicles developed from Ford's new C-segment platform, scheduled for introduction over the next several years. The global range will also include the all-new Ford Focus coming in late 2010.

Further details about the new Ford C-MAX will be released at Ford’s Frankfurt press conference at 11.00 hrs on 15 September.

Great. So ALL the new Euro Fords (including the next Focus) are going to look exactly like the Fiesta (which I love).

Yawn.

The C-Max will go on sale in the second half of 2010 featuring a more passenger-car look and will reportedly come equipped with a sliding door for the first time. The five-door vehicle is assembled in Germany.

Just like the Mazda 5? That thing is really quite ugly.

That would be cool but pigs will fly first. Overall it looks alright, but I think right now Mazda has the best looking small cars on the road right now. I'd give somebody elses left nut to own a Mazdaspeed3. Not my own though. We've bonded.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I hope there will be some kind of variation ... because it would be kinda boring if all of them start to look the same.

ehh, the wheels are kinda cool...

Master-Baits · 09-09-2009, 10:07 PM

it's okay, not great. Honestly I hate the wheels, get some wheels on it that look like the new rs. The lip on the front bumper is retarded also

SVTflyer03 · 09-09-2009, 11:05 PM

it doesn't look bad, but yeah it had better be fast, real fast.

Master-Baits · 09-09-2009, 11:10 PM

From the front view I kind of see a cue from the volvo line... Where the rear quarter juts out a bit. I think i'd like it better if that was accented a little more and maybe if the front end took a few more cues from the RS
