To start, a little history. In 2002, Ford began producing the C-MAX compact van. It turned out to be a decent car - roomy and at the same time compact. But it was a five-seater, and according to Ford research, 50% of those who want to buy a minivan want a 6 or 7-seater car. And the Russians - according to Ford market research - would like a car a little more spacious than the 5-seater C-MAX.

Four years later, Ford brought the S-MAX minivan to market. Theoretically, it may not have a third row of seats, but in principle this car is seven-seater. Accordingly, large and expensive. The buyer wanted something smaller.

And so Ford, along with the new C-MAX, decided to produce Grand C-MAX: more spacious than the simple version, but still not as big as the S-MAX.

To what extent did the company focus on the needs of the Russian buyer? Hardly significant. The segment of minivans in our country and in better times(2004-06) was no more than 2%, and this year it is negligible - less than 1%. That is, the new Grand C-MAX, along with the S-MAX and Galaxy also sold by us, will fight for a market of 15-20 thousand cars a year. And that's in the future.

Competitors Ford Grand C-MAX in the Russian market

Ford marketers decided not to supply a simple C-MAX to us - only Grand. A car whose base is longer by a very noticeable 14 centimeters, which is higher than a simple C-MAX by a very noticeable 5 cm, which - however, optionally - can have seven seats.

I will leave all the words about “swift, sporty look”, “new original style” and “recognizability” without comment. For me, it's a normal car with no frills. In the end, it’s not beauty for the sake of buying such a car. In evaluating the exterior of the Grand C-MAX, it is worth paying attention to only one detail: this is the first European Ford with sliding rear doors. The design is convenient in the parking lot, really facilitating access to the third row of seats, all in all, eminently practical.

Did I like the C-MAX inside? As a roomy family car - yes, definitely. It is thought out in great detail. But I would say too much. The driver's seat - like a pilot or a DJ: buttons on the steering wheel, with which you can control information on two screens, steering column switches, center console "a la mobile phone"- it is difficult to understand immediately. A few hours behind the wheel was not enough to get used to this abundance. The question remained unanswered: do I need all this?

What's great without any "buts": the seat folding system. A 7-seat car easily converts into a 6-seat car, and just as easily into a 5-seat car. Folding and unfolding is carried out with one hand, and the developers from Ford do it so cleverly that it becomes clear: 5-6 attempts and you will do it just as smartly.

In the basic version, the third row of seats will not be supplied. But as an option, it is relatively inexpensive in Russia - 23,900 rubles. For me, the price is reasonable, and if you have to carry more than 4 passengers, it's worth spending the money.

Of course, the third row of seats is designed primarily for children. I would say that a person is taller than 160-165 cm on rear seats it will be tight. However, adults of this height are not uncommon ...

Back to options, there's a ton of stuff you can install in the Grand C-MAX. For example, a new system of active parking assistance for European Fords. When you're looking for a free space among cars parked at the curb, two ultraviolet sensors determine if there's enough space to squeeze between cars. When a place is found, the driver can only follow the commands of the system, adjusting the gear selection, gas and brake: the steering wheel will rotate itself.

The side mirrors of the Grand C-Max can be equipped with light indicators that evaluate "blind spots": from the mirror to a distance of three meters in rear bumper, also 3 meters wide. Offers Ford "FordKeyFree" keyless entry system, rear view camera with navigation system and parking sensors, electric drive tailgate… Of course, the practical possession of these options requires training (experience), even if much of the management is understandable on an intuitive level.

Dynamics Grand C-MAX for a family car is quite tolerable. Driving a Ford is a pleasure to be in: there is no feeling that you are driving something bulky and clumsy. (However, the C-MAX is not that long: the usual C-class, 4520 in length). The car has absolutely new system suspension, new electro-hydraulic steering, a cornering traction control system that redistributes torque between the front wheels to further enhance stability when cornering…

There was never any doubt about the adequate behavior of the car during the test, and the sound insulation of the Grand C-MAX is simply excellent. The energy intensity of the suspension on French roads was not fully verified, sorry, it was not possible.

Also, we were not able to evaluate the entire line of motors. Only one - the 140-horsepower Duratorq TDCi turbodiesel - is a joy for the European family. Together with automatic transmission PowerShift they form a very quiet and not peppy tandem. However, with mechanical box Ford liked even less on mountain serpentines. Yes, acceleration is more cheerful, but constant gear changes are very tiring. Moreover, you have to work hard with your feet: the pedal travel in the Grand C-MAX is very large.

Most interesting motors for Russia - 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline EcoBoost - 150 and 182 hp. Their declared characteristics are really good: maximum torque is already reached at 1600 rpm, fuel consumption in the combined cycle of 182-horsepower is only 6.6 l / 100 km, and acceleration to 100 km / h is 8.8 seconds.

The base engine of a minivan in Russia will be a “simple” 1.6-liter engine with 125 hp.

With him in the rich minimum configuration Trend with a 5-speed manual transmission Grand C-MAX costs from 799,000 rubles. The second possible equipment - Titanium costs from 872,000 rubles. Quantity additional options, as noted above, is huge: it will not be difficult to assemble a car for a million or more.

It remains only to understand whether you need such a car. According to Ford statistics, the average buyer of the Grand C-MAX will be a 42-year-old man, nine out of ten buyers will be family people and most likely this minivan will not be the first car in the family. Is this your portrait? And you are just part of the 1% of Russians that pay attention to such models?

The values ​​that this Ford promotes are very clear and good. Spacious car, with distinct running advantages, if necessary, 7-seater and stuffed with what the hell - isn't it tempting? It turns out it's not for everyone. There are many in Europe. In Russia, the majority is still ready to take a simpler and cheaper car. Or let's go.

And perhaps the new minivan would not deserve such close attention. But! The C-MAX family is the first cars made on a completely new Ford platform of class C. According to the manufacturer, it will become the basis for the production of at least ten different models and their versions. On it next year will be made new Focus. Ford does not hide the fact that many technical solutions and most of the options available on the minivan will migrate to the most popular foreign car in Russia. And Ford Focus will interest a lot of people.

10.01.2017

- one of the most popular cars among active, family motorists. The popularity of this minivan is added by the fact that it is available not only in a five-seater version, but also a seven-seater version can be found on the market. Besides spacious interior car has enough interesting design, which was appreciated not only by car enthusiasts, but was also awarded the title of "Car of the Year" in 2007, and in 2008 was recognized as the best-selling minivan in Europe. It is worth noting that even today the car is in good demand among practical and family motorists, therefore, we have no right to leave this car unattended. And today we will try to find out what typical disadvantages has Ford S-Max with mileage, and what to look for when choosing this car on the secondary market.

A bit of history:

Ford S-Max was officially presented to the public in 2006 at the annual international auto show in Geneva. The car was built on the same platform with Ford Galaxy, however, S-Max is positioned by the manufacturer as a car that is more focused on young motorists. Despite being similar in size to the Galaxy, the S-Max has more sporty appearance and other chassis settings, as well as less roomy interior. In 2010, the premiere of an updated version of the car took place, visually the novelty began to look even more aggressive. Updates also affected the interior, as well as improved electrical equipment. So, for example, instead of the traditional analog instrument panel (in all versions except the basic one), a more modern tidy with a large color display is installed. This model is assembled at the company's factory, which is located in the city of Genk ( Belgium). Second Ford generation The S-Max debuted in October 2014 at the Paris Auto Show.

Advantages and disadvantages of Ford S-Max with mileage

The paintwork is not of the highest quality, as a result, over time, the paint may begin to peel off. Despite this, the metal of the car body resists the onslaught of the red disease well, but it also has weaknesses. Operating experience has shown that most often corrosion appears on thresholds, door edges and under rubber seals, and is also prone to corrosion. exhaust system. Owners often complain about low quality anti-corrosion coating of the bottom.

Engines

Ford S-Max can be equipped with the following powertrains: gasoline– 1.6 (160 hp), 2.0 (145 hp), 2.0 EcoBoost (203, 240 hp), 2.3 (160 hp), 2.5 (2.30 hp) ; diesel- 1.8 (100, 125 hp), 2.0 (115, 136.140 and 160 hp) and 2.2 (175, 200 hp). S-Max with a diesel engine is a rare guest in the secondary market, but their reliability can be judged by other Ford models. Operating experience has shown that this type of engine is quite reliable and economical. The biggest drawback of these motors is the small resource of the turbine, it does not exceed 200,000 km. Therefore, when choosing a car with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, be sure to check its condition ( the cost of a new turbine is 400-600 USD.).

For TDCI motors fuel system very sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel, and if you fill up a car at unverified gas stations, you need to be prepared for a premature replacement fuel injectors and particulate filter. There may also be problems with the EGR valve and injection pump. When choosing a car with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, pay attention to the condition of the dual-mass flywheel. The first signal of a flywheel failure will be the vibration of the gear lever on idling, metallic ringing when the ignition is turned off (reminiscent of a dangling muffler b). Also, rare mild twitching of the car in a standing position at a slight angle is possible.

Gasoline engines are also quite reliable, but after 100,000 km of run, many of them require replacement of the hydraulic engine mount. If during engine operation a metallic clatter is heard resembling the knock of valves, the condition of the damper should be checked. intake manifold. If suddenly the car began to start poorly, and the speed also began to float, most likely the replacement of the ignition coils is required (often the coils break through in wet weather or after washing the engine compartment). Also, the cause of unstable operation of the engine can be a clogged throttle valve. Cars of the first years of production suffer from oil leaks from the threaded plugs of the cooling system channels in the head of the unit. This type of motor is afraid of oil starvation, so you need to constantly monitor the oil level in the engine, otherwise the metal timing chain tensioner may fail prematurely (the timing chain runs 200-250 thousand km). The 1.6 engine, unlike the others, is equipped with a timing belt drive, which should be replaced every 80,000 km.

Transmission

Ford S-Max can be equipped with a five- or six-speed manual transmission, a six-speed automatic and robotic transmission Powershift. In general, automatic and mechanics are quite reliable and do not require special attention(manufacturer states that all boxes are maintenance free). However, many servicemen categorically disagree with this, and recommend changing the oil in the box at least once every 80,000 km. The clutch mechanism of mechanics in most cases nurses 120-150 thousand km. Despite this, many experts do not recommend operating it until it is completely worn out, so as not to provoke premature wear dual mass flywheel. About reliability robotic box a lot has already been said, unfortunately, it does not have a large resource ( 100-150 thousand km), therefore, I would refuse to buy a car with such a transmission, which has a mileage of more than 80,000 km.

Reliability of running Ford S-Max

Ford S-Max is fully equipped independent suspension MacPherson strut front, multi-link rear. Top versions can be equipped with shock absorbers with adjustable stiffness IDVC, it is worth noting that cars equipped with such racks have a reduced ground clearance. As experience has shown, ford suspension S-Max has almost no weak points, also, we can note the high level of comfort and its endurance. So, for example, stabilizer struts can last 60-80 thousand km, bushings - up to 100,000 km. Shock absorbers, thrust bearings and ball joints, on average, they go 100-120 thousand km. Silent blocks, hub bearings, CV joints with careful operation can last 120-150 thousand km.

Rear suspension requires overhaul once every 100,000 km, and due to the abundance of details, this procedure may seem unexpectedly expensive, it is also worth noting that, due to constructive miscalculations, it is necessary to adjust the wheel alignment every 20,000 km. The weak point in the steering is the power steering pump, the cause of premature failure of the pump is the freezing pressure reducing valve. Closer to 200,000 km, most instances require repair or replacement of the steering rack. brake pads wear out after 30-40 thousand km, the disks will last 2-3 times longer.

Salon

The quality of interior finishing materials and sound insulation - as in budget car therefore, many owners have to put up with extraneous squeaks and knocks. The plastic of the center console does not have good wear resistance, as a rule, it loses its presentation after 5 years of operation. Electronics rarely causes problems for owners, but only on condition that garage kulibins did not interfere with it. It is worth noting that used copies with unauthorized interference in electronic systems there are not so few cars in the secondary market, therefore, various failures can occur in the on-board network, up to the ignition of the main control module. Of the typical sores of the model, one can single out: malfunctions in the operation of the climate control system (wiring damage), heating failure windshield and failure of the air conditioning compressor ( Before buying, be sure to check its performance).

Outcome:

– reliable car for all occasions, the main thing is not to miscalculate the choice, and in the future not to spare money for high-quality "consumables" and fuels and lubricants.

Advantages:

• Spacious salon.
• Comfort suspension.
• Low cost of maintenance and repair.

Flaws:

• High fuel consumption (petrol versions).
• Low quality interior finishing materials.
• A small resource of a robotic transmission.

The second and current, at the moment, generation of the Ford S-Max was released in 2015. Despite the relatively recent period, the manufacturer, as part of the reduction model line European division, decided to abandon the release of a new generation and this car as a whole. This is due to a drop in demand in this market niche. Previously, the model, along with its sister Galaxy, found up to 85 thousand buyers a year, and in 2018 only 36 thousand. However, a much longer life cycle was laid down in this generation, and it was economically unprofitable to write it off at that moment. The manufacturer decided to warm up the fading interest with the help of modernization, which is officially the first planned restyling. Updates took place before, but purely technical, associated with some change in European legislation. Thus, the procedure for measuring fuel consumption was revised. The WTLP cycle was taken as the basis, as a result of which the manufacturer revised the composition of the engine range and switched to a different type of transmission. As for the officially updated version, first of all, it received a more modern and aggressive design. A new bumper with a larger hexagonal grille catches the eye. She lost thin horizontal ribs and consists of large plastic honeycombs. At the bottom front bumper a pronounced splitter lip appeared, and the fog lamp sections also changed. Instead of large round blocks, there are more compact double elements.

dimensions

Ford S-Max is a compact car with the possibility of installing a third row of seats. His dimensions are: length 4796 mm, width 1916 mm, height 1658 mm, and the distance between the wheel pairs is 2849 mm. The second generation is built on a platform from a sedan Ford Mondeo. She has a completely independent chassis. Front independent McPherson struts are located, connected to the subframe by means of rigid levers and with a stabilizer roll stability. At the rear is a fully independent multi-link system. By default, the cabin is able to take on board up to five people. For an additional fee, you can order an additional third row with two full seats. In this case, the size of the luggage compartment, when loaded under the top shelf, is reduced to 285 liters. As much as possible, if you fold the second and third rows of seats, you can get up to 2200 liters of usable space.

Specifications

Due to the transition to new standard measurements, palette power units The Ford S-Max has shrunk significantly. gasoline engine now only one. This is the 1.5 liter version of the EcoBoost, developing 160 Horse power and 240 Nm of torque. The diesel line is composed of three versions of the EcoBlue turbodiesel inline-four. Three versions are available: 150, 190 and 240 horsepower. As for the transmission, the basic options are equipped with a six-speed manual gearboxes. For an additional fee, you can order a classic hydromechanical automatic machine with eight gears. Versions with diesel engines can be equipped with a plug-in all-wheel drive, combined only with automatic transmissions.

In the life of every man there comes a period when children appear, and emotions with testosterone must give way to reason. As a rule, all this leads to one decision - to purchase a station wagon or MPV. Fortunately, not all of these cars are boring and unpleasant to drive. One of the most unique compact vans is Ford C-Max. Its design may not be as eye-catching as the larger Ford S-Max, and more like a slightly enlarged Ford Focus II. But after a long communication with the car, he undoubtedly begins to like it.

Model history

Ford Sea Max first generation debuted in 2003. It was the first such car in the range of the brand. Two years later, the compact van received several new engines, and in 2007 the model underwent a slight restyling. In 2010, the assembly line left the last copy of the first generation C-Max, giving way to a successor.

Engines

Petrol:

R4 1.6 16V (100 HP)

R4 1.8 16V (120 - 125 hp)

R4 2.0 16V (145 HP)

Diesel:

R4 1.6 8V TDCi (90 - 109 hp)

R4 1.8 8V TDCi (115 HP)

R4 2.0 8V TDCi (110 HP)

R4 2.0 16V TDCi (136 HP)

All gasoline units are quite reliable and durable. The best recommendations are worthy of a 2-liter engine with a capacity of 145 hp. He is able to deliver the greatest driving pleasure.

True, in 1.8 and 2.0, swirl flaps in the intake sometimes fail. At first they start making noise. In the worst case, they can break off and get into the engine. And in 1.6 Ti-VCT phase regulators sometimes fail.

For diesel lovers, there are also offers on the market, although not numerous. In the general list possible problems of such motors, number one is not a very hardy two-mass flywheel. Its resource is a little more than 150,000 km, and it changes along with the clutch kit. All you need is about $600.

The most preferred option is with 2.0 TDCi, which provides good dynamics and demonstrates a high level of reliability. Instead of capricious Delphi injectors, piezoelectric VDO / Siemens are installed here. Injector malfunctions are usually caused not by mechanical wear, but by electronic malfunctions. However, such cases are isolated.

Until 2005, the 2-liter turbodiesel complied with Euro 3 emissions standards, and after Euro 4. The engine standard can be found by the VIN code or a sticker in engine compartment. If the code starts with DW10B, then it meets the Euro-4 standard, if the letter "B" is missing, then Euro-3. In some markets, the motor was equipped particulate filter, while others do not.

2.0 TDCi sometimes causes oil leaks through oil seals, which is detrimental to the timing belt. Problems with the USR valve were solved by changing the kinematics of the valve and the control program.

Instances with 1.6 TDCi should be avoided - there are turbocharger malfunctions (due to a design flaw in the lubrication system) and oil leaks. Both diesel engines were developed jointly with the PSA concern. A common drawback is the exhaust gas cleaning system and the particulate filter.

The list of proposals also includes 1.8 TDCi of its own Ford designs. Against the background of French diesels, he looks like a pensioner - even the block head is cast iron. The dynamics of a car with such an engine is slightly better than the basic diesel version with 1.6 TDCi. The reason is in program management, the main goal of which is to care for the environment. Among characteristic faults problems with the injection system, cracking of the rubber elements of the inlet channel and regular oil leaks (from under the timing chain cover and the connection of the upper and lower parts of the block) can be distinguished. However, 1.8 TDCi has a durable combined drive Timing (eternal chain + short belt) and hardy turbocharger.

Design features

The model was based on a completely new platform, which was subsequently used to create the Ford Focus II. MacPherson struts work on the front axle, and a multi-link design on the rear axle. As befits a microvan, the C-Max is front-wheel drive only.

A 5 and 6-speed manual or a 4-band automatic is responsible for the transmission of torque.

In 2008, an automated PowerShift dual-clutch transmission made by Getrag was offered in conjunction with the 2.0 TDCi. However, it is better to avoid this box, because even a new one often caused problems. Failures were usually associated with mechatronics and clutch.

The 1.6 TDCi has been mated with an alternative Durashift CVT since 2004. Its service life did not exceed 150,000 km, and repairs are very expensive.

Ford C Max 1 from the very beginning offered two versions of the parking brake - a classic mechanically operated lever and a more sophisticated electromechanical one. The latter is a relatively cheap solution that does not use servomotors in the calipers, as in Audi or Volkswagen. The C Max has one large servo motor that pulls the cables. The electromechanical brake relied only on more equipped versions for an additional fee.

Typical problems and malfunctions

Ford C-max is one of the least problematic models not only in the range of the brand, but also among cars in general. The suspension is strong enough. As a rule, after 80-100 thousand km, only small things (struts and stabilizer bushings) have to be changed. However, the situation is complicated by poor quality roads, which significantly reduces the service life of the silent blocks of levers. Repair of the rear suspension is complicated by corrosion of threaded connections. However, it does not require too high maintenance costs.

The starter and generator do not differ in durability - they often require repair. In addition, there are failures of the electro-hydraulic power steering pump ($ 300). Sometimes parking sensors and electric parking brake. Sometimes the ABS with ESP also stops functioning (due to sensors or the ABS control unit).

Ford C Max owners complain about poor workmanship: plastic interior elements and door seals creak. In the latter case, regular lubrication or replacement of seals with new ones saves. The quality of the base upholstery of the chairs, which gets dirty very easily, is also upsetting. Traces remain even after raindrops that have entered through open door or window. It's not hard to guess what the upholstery will look like rear seats on which children were transported for several years. The plastic of the trunk walls is too delicate and scratches easily.

Sometimes the instrument panel fails - the arrows of the pointers remain at zero, and various signaling devices light up for no reason. Several dashboard options were used. A new shield is quite expensive, refurbishment is much cheaper.

One of the major shortcomings diesel versions- Inefficient heating system. Unfortunately, Ford did not serially install heater salon.

As for corrosion protection, the C-Max is better protected than the first Focus or the third Mondeo. However, against the background of rivals, corrosion resistance is not exemplary. On older copies, you should carefully check the condition of the thresholds, the lower part of the doors and the rear wheel arches.

Conclusion

Despite the minor shortcomings of the Ford S-Max nice car with superbly tuned suspension and precise steering. It may not be as roomy as the competition, but in terms of handling it is perhaps one of the best representatives of the class. Another advantage is high reliability (gasoline versions). Picky people may be disturbed in places not the best quality some elements, especially in the interior. The cheapest samples of the first years of production today can be purchased for approximately 200-250 thousand rubles.

I suggest you take a look at that useful information which I managed to get. There are not so many differences from the predecessors of the novelty. In general, the design turned out to be modern, stylish, extraordinary. The body of the car has become more streamlined, and the roof, made in the form of an arc. This testifies to the excellent dynamic qualities of "Max".

The hood of the car has become lower, radiator screen has a trapezoidal design. General impression reinforce strongly elongated, slanted headlights, a new air intake and an improved diffuser. Distinctive feature Ford S Max 2019 2020 is a double row of clear edges located on the sides of the car. The blunt, “chopped off” front part looks stylish. The minimum ground clearance is 130 mm.

Salon has changed slightly

In the cabin, you can still see the three-spoke wheel with lots of features. On the center console is a modern on-board computer, the screen of which is now a whopping 10 inches. Significantly higher dashboard. Thanks to this, it was possible to improve visibility and visibility of the road path.

The ergonomics of the cabin have been noticeably improved. This was facilitated by the use of high-quality, modern materials. We are pleased with the extensive list of security systems that are now included in the equipment of the new model. Very impressive is the large number of options and features that have been added to the base version. Among them are:

• Rear View Camera;
• radars, ultrasonic sensors that recognize road signs, signaling when the car is moving in reverse warning when parking;
• height adjustment, inclination of the head restraints;
• massage function;
• position memory function;
• heated front seats;
• hill start assist system.

The trunk volume of the S Max is 700 liters. With the second row seats folded down, the volume can be increased to 1050 liters. If you fold the third row of seats “to the floor”, then this figure increases to 2000 liters.

Specifications improved

The power equipment of the new Ford ES Max 2019 2020 is admirable. The creators offered as many as five engine options. Three of them are diesel and two are petrol. Agree that such a wide choice of motors attracts. Not all manufacturers have taken care of an extended line of engines. Each of the presented power units endows the 2019 Ford C Max with excellent technical characteristics.

Together with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, 6 manual transmission. The engine for 240 "horses" is aggregated "automatically". Diesel engines with a capacity of 150 and 180 "horses" are equipped with a dual-clutch automatic transmission like that. Two-liter diesel engine only 6-speed "mechanics" is allowed.

The suspension design has become completely independent. A stabilizer bar is installed in the front. Behind you can see a similar stabilizer that complements the multi-link design. A pleasant surprise was the news that three trim levels of Ford C Max 2019-2020 will be available in Russia.
