How much factory warranty is left on your C-Max?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Ford C-Max factory warranty
New Ford vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Ford dealer.
The C-Max is no longer sold new in the US, so most examples are close to or beyond the end of factory coverage.
Why body style matters
Hatchbacks are mechanically close to small sedans, with one driven axle and modest weight. That generally keeps coverage affordable, though small turbocharged engines are increasingly common.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
Plug-in hybrid system
A plug-in hybrid has the parts of a gas car and of an electric car: engine, transmission, a larger battery, an onboard charger and a charge port. Ask specifically whether the onboard charger and high-voltage components are covered.
About Ford
Ford sells more trucks than anything else, and its EcoBoost turbo engines and 10-speed automatic are complex assemblies. Diesel Super Duty trucks get longer factory diesel-engine coverage, but everything else follows the standard terms.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ford C-Max eligible for extended coverage?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle's year and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Because the C-Max is no longer sold new, older examples may qualify only for powertrain-level plans.
Which coverage level fits a Ford C-Max?
If the hybrid system and transmission are your main concern, a powertrain plan covers them. If you also want air conditioning, electrical parts and electronics covered, look at a mid-level or comprehensive plan.
How much does a Ford C-Max extended warranty cost?
Price depends on the model year, mileage, coverage level, deductible and your ZIP code. Request a quote with your details for an actual price.
