A plug-in hybrid version of the car will also be available, but not until late 2012.
It C-MAX also offers bigger dimensions that the Prius V, with about three more cubic feet of passenger space.
The introduction of the C-MAX hybrid will help Ford bring reduce average fuel economy across the lineup, and meet the companies goal of tripling electrified vehicle production capacity by 2013.
The first C-MAX’s will be delivered to customers this fall.
