This new mini MPV competes against Opel\u2019s Meriva, Citroen\u2019s C3 Picasso and the Nissan Note.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who is it aimed at?<\/b> The B-MAX is a very clever car and thanks to the sliding doors is incredibly accessible. The front doors open as normal but the back doors slide back. There are no fixed B-pillars in the car so when the doors open the entire side of the car is revealed which makes for easy access and a sense of space. A feature Mums in particular will love.<\/p>\n<p><b>Styling:<\/b> Smart and stylish with clean lines, we like the look of the new B-Max<\/p>\n<p><b>Under the Bonnet:<\/b> We tested two version of the B-Max, the 1.5 diesel and the incredible 1.0 litre Ecoboost engine. On paper there is little difference between the outputs of both engines but the Ecoboost is the one most suited to the B-Max and would be our choice. Other versions use a 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines or a 1.6 diesel with five-speed manual gearboxes. An automatic is available on the 1.6 petrol.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about Inside?<\/b> Slightly bigger than the Fiesta but smaller than the five door Focus, space is abundant throughout and there is more than enough room for four adults in comfort and five at a squeeze. Leg room in the back is particularly good. The boot size allows for 324litres to be squeezed in which is a useful amount and certainly on a par with rivals but fold the seats back and the space extends to an estate like 1,386 litres. Driving position is really good and everything is classy, high quality throughout and child proof!, Yes child proof! \u00a0Keeping a car clean when regularly used by children or pets is virtually impossible so Ford engineers have subjected the new\u00a0B-MAX\u00a0to laboratory tests that simulate the toughest treatment that children and pets can dish out, including soaking materials in milk and fizzy drinks; testing fabrics with a &#8220;mace&#8221;; and pounding plastics with a heavy rubber ball. There is also a host of hi-tech safety and communications systems. The B-Max is the first Ford to\u00a0feature<b>\u00a0<\/b>Ford\u2019s Sync system developed in conjunction with Microsoft. The systems allows you to control your music and phone with simple voice commands, it can even read out your text messages!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4489\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ford_2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4489\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4489\" alt=\"Inside it is practical with lots of storage spaces and bottle holders\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ford_2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ford_2.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ford_2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside it is practical with lots of storage spaces and bottle holders<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>On the Road?<\/b> Similar to the Fiesta the handling is excellent and this is a car that drives just as good as it looks. It is swift to accelerate around town and nimble to manoeuvre. The steering is sharp and on the road it is smooth and comfortable. It copes well at speed and there is virtually no body roll when cornering. \u00a0We love the doors and the ease of access but when travelling with children ensure the child locks are on as sliding doors, like regular ones, can be opened when on the move.<\/p>\n<p><b>And Safety?<\/b> By removing the B-Pillar a concern of potential buyers may be that the B-Max would offer less protection in the event of a side impact collision than one with regular doors. To deal with this \u00a0Ford have reinforced the front and back doors with high-strength, boron steel. It has worked well \u00a0and when crash tested the B-Max scored a maximum 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. \u00a0It is also the first small MPV to offer Active City Stop which is designed to reduce the chance of a front-end collision at speeds of up to 30km\/h by braking automatically. Another very useful innovation, as part of the Sync system, is in the event of an accident the system will automatically call the emergency services and notify them of your exact location<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Options?<\/b> There are seven models in the B-MAX range priced from \u20ac19,821- &#8211; \u20ac27,600. Trim grades are B-MAX and B-MAX Titanium. The entry level model includes 15\u201d steel wheels; body-coloured mirrors &amp; handles; leather trimmed steering wheel; air-conditioning; global open \/ closing windows; Fold Flat passenger &amp; rear seats; Deflation Detection System; Electronic Stability Programme (ESP); Torque Vectoring Control; Headlight Courtesy Delay; and remote central locking. The Titanium spec adds\u00a0 15\u201d alloy wheels; front fog lights; LED day-time running lights; chrome window finisher; heated windscreen; child observation mirror; and trip computer.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about fuel economy?<\/b> On a combined cycle of city and motorway the 1.0 petrol returns<b> <\/b>5.1litres per 100km (55.4mpg), whereas the 1.5 diesel returns a more impressive 4.1litres (68.9mpg). Co2 emissions for the petrol version are 119g\/km whereas the diesel emits only 109g\/km; the difference in terms of motor tax is the diesel is in band A3 (\u20ac190 annually) and the petrol in band A4 (\u20ac200)<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Okay so the Verdict?<\/b> Ford has always made vehicles that are great to drive, and the B-Max is no exception.
