Ford?s Upcoming C-MAX vs. Toyota?s v

Ford?s fuel efficient future and Toyota?s hybrid bread and butter in a no-holds barred cage match... Or a simple base comparison, you decide? The Contenders -- In the opposing corner is Ford?s upcoming and 188 HP combined atkinsonized 2.0L ICE mated to Ford?s excellent eCVT hybrid drivetrain powering the all-new C-MAX Hybrid. The Ford eCVT hybrid drivetrain is a power-split based design but with a few HW/SW additions that have yet to be disclosed. It has the ability to glide at 62 mph and provides its future owners with an incredibly efficient 47/44 mpgUS city/highway rating. Those are big numbers! In the early rounds, Ford is touting a $1,540 pricing advantage for the average consumer over its Japanese rival with a starting price of $25,995.
