The end is near. The C-Max is not going to be part of Ford’s lineup next season in the US. However, the company will still produce vehicle for Europe and other markets. The 2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid, Plug-in hybrid, and Energi will be the electric lineup of the MPV. Fans in the US are still hoping that the carmaker will change its mind about the release in North America.
During 2013, the first hybrid edition had problems with fuel economy data. Buyers claimed that the vehicle can’t deliver 47 mpg as advertised. The C-Max was good for 37 mpg. However, the model survived. The last time we saw it, as 2018 model, hybrid could do 42 mpg in city. The next, 2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid should be better than its predecessor.
2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid vs Energi
The Solar Energi Concept is the latest innovation we could see from Ford. Now it seems like this idea will be realized on C-Max. Soon, we can see the vehicle moving by using the energy gathered through solar panels installed on roof. This might be one of the reasons of discontinuation of C-Max Hybrid in the US. Greener technology is definitely in advantage over conventional drivetrains. Better fuel economy and clean energy regeneration are others pros.
On the other hand, the 2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid would be much cheaper variants in many ways. First of all, development of Energi and Solar Energi concepts is expensive. Furthermore, it will boost the price for buyers. Also, we don’t know how it will be accepted. Many questions, but Ford is ready to risk with it. Too bad for 2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid.

For example, France plans to electrify all cars on their streets and replace all conventional units.
