Ford C-MAX Energi Plug-in Hybrid to Deliver 550-Mile Range, More than 20 Miles on Electric Power

Once again, the Blue Oval is on a bragging spree specifically targeting Toyota, which we don't know whether it should feel complimented or aggrieved.

New 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid Priced $555 Less Than the Prius V at $25,995*

Ford is not shying away from the fact that it has set its eyes on the Toyota Prius V with the new C-MAX Hybrid as the Blue Oval makes it a point to put at least one reference to the Japanese carmaker's minivan in all of its press statements.

Last time, it was the C-MAX Hybrid's fuel economy with Ford stating that its new minivan will be much more efficient than the Prius V that returns an EPA estimated 44mpg city, 40mpg highway and 42mpg combined. So wait, what is the C-MAX Hybrid's fuel economy? Well, that is something Ford has yet to announce…

Moving on to today, Ford dropped pricing information on the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid, that starts at $25,995, . And as you may have already guessed, Ford noted that its new model is approximately $500 lower than the Toyota Prius V’s base price ($555, to be precise).
