TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi offer a sportier alternative to the Toyota Prius range that feels premium inside and more capable on the road.

The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has ample room in a practical interior, but it's let down by economy-car materials and noise.

TCC Likes

Premium cabin feel
Smooth, quiet on the road
Surprisingly spacious, adaptable

Versatile, spacious layout
Straightforward dash layout
Responsive, nimble handling

TCC Dislikes

AWD not an option
Styling awkward from some views
Tailgate, load floor not aligned

Grim, economy interior
Remains unrefined, noisy
Sluggish on highway
