Looking at a Ford Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus/)? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/c-max/). And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) is preparing to roll out a new version.

The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."

Like the Mercedes B-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mercedes+b-class/), which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler/) did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/).Continue reading Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/09/15/2015-ford-c-max-teaser/)
