The new Ford C-MAX is much improved over its predecessor. This time it ticks every box – next to competitors like the Renault Scenic and Volkswagen Touran it looks stylish. You can still remove the rear seats, all of which fold flat to the floor, but while the interior is built to a very high standard with a dashboard it's not quite as versatile as we have hoped. Both the Renault Scenic and seven-seat Volkswagen Touran are more practical. New EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engines are great – our favourite is the 150PS 1.6-litre model – with strong acceleration but low running costs. Factor in a sporty chassis and a comfortable ride, and you’ve got one of the best compact-MPVs on the market.
