jeff_h Report post Posted December 4, 2015 Top pic (orange) is the concept car that was shown in Jan 2015, bottom pic (silver) is the sneak peek at the actual production version. I like the bottom one better. 1 Hybrider reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

machoman1337 Report post Posted December 7, 2015 The pre-prod one resembles a 1990s Mercedes-Benz A-Class! It's a cute compact car that you could think of as a "4 door smartcar". The prod ones also looks good... a bit small though. Ford really should make a station wagon variant of its Energi to better compete. 1 B25Nut reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford does make a station wagon Energi, it is called the C-MAX. :lol: 3 Texasota, GrySql and machoman1337 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the C-MAX was the only hybrid Ford offered, I wouldn't be a Ford owner now. 2 GrySql and Hybrider reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

talmy Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Ford really should make a station wagon variant of its Energi to better compete. Ford has a station wagon (and hatchback!) Mondeo (our Fusion) in Europe, so it's certainly possible. But they don't offer hybrid power outside of the sedan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machoman1337 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, the Mondeo Hybrid is sedan-only (or saloon-only as the Brits would say lol). The wagon is called the Mondeo Estate and it looks far more handsome than the C-Max or the Bolt, on part with BMW's wagons. Putting an Energi powertrain in that thing could steal some share from the Chevrolet Volt. The Bolt might be a serious threat to the Focus Electric (which I have seen only once in the wild) with double the range. I find the Focus a lot more visually appealing but if I were forced to choose, the Bolt would likely win for the range factor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
