Priced from £18,195, the new C-MAX features advanced technology including Ford's SYNC 2 voice-activated connectivity system, Perpendicular Parking and improved Active City Stop, first seen on the new Focus.

Meanwhile the new Grand C-MAX, with prices starting at £20,295, continues to feature Ford's innovative twin sliding doors and "walk-through" seat design for greater convenience, space and flexibility.

Both the new C-MAX and Grand C-Max now offer Hands-Free Tailgate, a segment first.

Also set to arrive this summer, Ford’s new S-MAX is priced from £24,545 and brings Ford's SYNC 2 connectivity system, capable of voice controlled navigation, in-car entertainment, climate control and linked mobiles, as standard.

Available in Zetec, Titanium and Titanium Sport trims, Ford S-MAX models will also be equipped as standard with front and rear parking sensors, keyless start, sports seats and DAB radio.  The Titanium series adds privacy glass, auto lights, rain-sensing wipers and technologies including Traffic Sign Recognition to remind the driver of the last speed sign passed, lane keeping aid, cruise control and LED running lights.

The top-of-the-range S-MAX Titanium Sport gains a full body styling kit, rear spoiler and sports suspension.  Adding one of the X packs available for either Titanium models further enhances exterior looks and comfort, with Dynamic LED headlights, which adopt the optimum beam pattern for the road type and weather conditions, and 10-way power front seats.

The new models join the Ford B-MAX, which was launched in 2013 and receives the latest EU Stage 6 compliant powertrains including Ford's new 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine.
