The Ford C-Max Energi is not simply a hybrid—it’s a plug-in electric car. Watch the video to find out what unique features this vehicle has to offer.
Between the battery and the engine, the Ford C-Max Energi is expected to be able to achieve better MPGe than the Chevrolet Volt, and a total driving range of 500 miles—more than the Toyota Prius plug-in can offer. Other technologies on the Ford C-Max Energi include Regenerative Braking, which utilizes the heat energy during braking, and Engine Heat Recovery, which takes the heat from the exhaust manifold and uses it to heat up the emissions system.
Take the Ford C-Max Energi for a test drive this summer at Metropolitan Ford of Eden Prairie. For more information, give us a call at (612) 424-3495.

If you want to extend the life of your new Ford, sustain its resale value, and keep it in great running condition for many years and miles to come, it’s important that you get it serviced on a regular basis. Here are some of the most important maintenance services for your new Ford.
Battery Inspections
If you think winter is tough on your Ford’s battery, you might be surprised to hear that summer is just as bad for it—if not worse. If you start to notice that your lights dim, that it takes longer to start your car, or that your power windows are rolling up slower than usual, pay a visit to the Ford dealership to replace your battery before it dies on you and prevents you from getting to where you need to go.
Routine Brake Work
Pay careful attention to the way that your Ford’s brakes sound and feel. If you feel your car shaking or hear an unusual noise when you apply the brakes—usually in the form of grinding or squeaking—be sure to visit the Ford dealership so that you can get the worn parts replaced.
Tire Care
The level of care that you give your Ford’s tires will greatly affect your fuel efficiency, ride quality, and tire life. Be sure you check the pressure of your Ford’s tires at least once per month. Take your car in to the dealership if the inflation level of your tires needs to be adjusted. Additionally, it’s a good idea to rotate your tires on a regular basis and replace them as soon as the tread levels have worn down too low.
Belts and Hoses
If you plan on keeping your new Ford for as long as possible, it’s crucial that you ask a Ford mechanic to take a look at your belts and hoses. A soft hose or cracked belt can cause your car to break down this summer, and might even result in an expensive repair. Replace your worn belt or hose before it causes more serious problems.
