Flexible Family MPV with Smart Features

The Ford Grand C-MAX is a roomy seven seat MPV designed with family life in mind, offering excellent practicality and comfort. Its extended wheelbase provides generous interior space, while flexible seating allows the third row to fold flat for added versatility. As part of this upgrade enquiry, the focus was on enhancing everyday usability through improved performance and a refined Ford Grand C-MAX Exhaust setup to complement the vehicle’s practicality.

Engine Choices and Performance Details

The Ford Grand C-MAX comes with a range of efficient engines, including the 1.6 Duratorq TDCi diesel and 1.6 EcoBoost petrol, delivering between 95 and 163 horsepower. To improve overall performance, a stage 1 ECU remap was explored as a proven solution to increase power and torque.

When paired with a Ford Grand C-MAX Exhaust System upgrade, the engine is able to perform more efficiently with improved airflow and reduced restriction.
