(exciting music) <v Announcer>Cars.com Auto Reviews. What's a family to do when you need to haul a lot of people, but really don't want to upgrade to a minivan.
Well, how about a MAV, a Multi-Activity Vehicle? It's the hottest new thing here at the 2011 Detroit Auto show. And this is the Ford C-Max. The biggest story with the Ford C-Max is the flexibility between cargo and seating capacity. So here in the second row, we have three seats, but if you only prefer two and want an easy passageway to the third row, this center seat folds flat and collapses into the seat cushion. The third row offers two more seats that fold flat independently. As a busy mom myself, my favorite feature on the Ford C-Max is the automatic lift gate. When my arms are full of groceries and kids, a simple swipe of my foot under the bumper, and the tailgate will open automatically. For modern families looking for eco-conscious choices the Ford C-Max is gonna be offered in a gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid version for 2012.
