Although the models are largely obscured in the picture, the image does show enlarged sweptback headlights along with a trapezoidal and changes to the fog lights and lower grille.

Little details have been revealed but the carmaker said: ‘The spacious, comfortable and versatile C-MAX and Grand C-MAX multi-activity vehicles have been given a boost to make them even better suited to the modern, active family.

‘The new Ford C-Max family now boasts even more refinement, practicality and technology.’

Both models will be displayed at next month’s Paris Motor Show.
