Ford has announced today that dealers will begin taking orders on the new C-Max Hybrid, due out later this fall. The C-Max Hybrid will carry a base price tag of $25,995 (excluding destination charge), which undercuts its closest competitor, the Toyota Prius V by $500.
The C-Max Hybrid will come equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack delivering an estimated 141 HP. Fuel economy numbers hasn't been released, but Ford does say it will be America’s most “fuel-efficient hybrid utility vehicle”.
Features for the C-Max Hybrid include hands-free liftgate, rain-sensing windshield wipers, active park assist, MyFordTouch, and SmartGauge with EcoGuide. SmartGauge with EcoGuide shows real-time fuel economy and uses gauges to help drivers maintain a fuel-efficient driving style.

Given that the Volt starts at $41K, that should be no problem since the C-Max undercuts that by $10K at least. A typical Prius V starts around $28K.
It may well be a more practical replacement for the Escape hybrid. Kudos to Ford for taking direct aim at Toyota's halo car.
If it rides a bit like the Mazda 5, I would beg to differ...
