Ford Europe will not replace the C-Max and Grand C-Max
- Inovev had previously indicated that Ford Europe planned to abandon the Mondeo, Galaxy and S-Max without replacement in 2020. These D-segment models are manufactured in Spain, on the site of Valencia since 2014, having been produced in Belgium, on the Genk website, until 2014.
- Today, Ford Europe announces that it plans to abandon the compact minivans C-Max and Grand C-Max without replacement in 2019. These C-segment models born in 2010 are manufactured since 2014 in Germany, on the site of Saarlouis, having been produced in Spain, on the site of Valencia, until 2014.
- Ford Europe explains that the minivans category is becoming less popular among customers, and the volume of production has become very low in 2018 (less than 65,000 units for all C-Max and Grand C-Max, ie less 35,000 for each of the two models) and no longer justifies their commercialization in 2019.
- The site of Saarlouis which produces these two models will therefore adjust its production by focusing on one model, the Focus.
- The planned and imminent shutdown of the Ford C-Max, Grand C-Max, Mondeo, Galaxy and S-Max indicates that Ford Europe is significantly reducing its range, the manufacturer now focusing on the manufacture of Fiesta, Focus, Kuga and Ecosport, as well as Transit, Transit Custom, Transit Courier and Transit Connect.
