Review: New Ford B-Max 2013

The New Ford B-Max 2013 model is a newly launched this year in the compact people carrier segment. The Ford B-MAX is a small MPV which has been in production since 2012. The model is a 5-door, 5-seater hatchback and is available with most of the different engines from the Ford range from 1.0 litre up to the 1.6 engines. The vehicle is primarily targeted at European buyers with 6-speed automatic transmission. The new Ford B-Max has been developed especially for the European city drive. It has a spacious interior design and its unique easy slide doors deliver new levels of convenience and flexibility. Like the Fiesta, the B-MAX is still fun to drive, with a comfortable ride and good economy. 

The B-MAX features sliding rear doors for flexibility, and split-folding rear seats which can be dropped down to provide a large flat luggage space. It also had to develop a latch system that holds the doors in place and creates a safety structure in the event of a crash. The cabin is fairly spacious throughout, with all passengers having a plenty of leg and headroom for anyone in the front or back. The car is designed to be a perfect fit for any lifestyle and its seat drop down option offers you surprising space also. The Ford B-MAX is a stylish and practical MPV which will work as an excellent family vehicle.

 

The B-Max comes with a choice of four petrol engines, including a new three-cylinder 1.0-litre Ecoboost unit with either 99 or 119 bhp, and two diesels – a new 1.5 TDCi and a 1.6 TDCi. B-Max averages 57.6mpg and emits 114g/km of carbon dioxide. B-Max Zetec versions get alloy wheels, LED running lights, front fog lights, leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob, air-conditioning, heated windscreen, DAB radio with USB connection, Bluetooth and Thatcham alarm. The Ford B-MAX has Ford SYNC, enabling you to access your music and phone controls with simple voice commands.

The wide range of engines and ultra-smooth gearboxes allows you to choose your own performance MPV. At the top of the range is the B-MAX Titanium, justifying its price with its Sony stereo, climate control, and auto wipers and lights. The 2013 Ford B-Max is for sale in the following colours: Metallic Tango Red, Sea Grey, Avalon, Vision Blue, Panther Black, Chill, Moondust Silver, Ocean Blue and solid Frozen White. The Ford B-Max 2013 car is priced very competitively, currently starting at £12995.
