A 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, a European-style MPV found in a Wyoming wrecking yard.
Ford began selling the Escape Hybrid in the United States four years after the introduction of the Toyota Prius here, with production continuing through 2012. To replace it, a Focus-derived MPV that had proven itself in Europe was given a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain and introduced as a 2013 model for North America. This was the C-Max Hybrid, and I've found one of those first-year cars in a Wyoming self-service car graveyard.
Unfortunately for Ford, American C-Max reviewers and buyers quickly found that their real-world fuel economy was lower than those numbers. Much lower.�Litigiously lower, in fact. By the summer of 2013, the EPA had backpedaled on its C-Max mileage ratings, dropping them to 45 city/40 highway/43 combined. Ford sent rebate checks to all 32,000 buyers and lessees of 2013 C-Maxes in the United States.
