Ford B-MAX: update 3


Had dinner with a friend of mine last night who confessed he’d nearly bought a Ford C-MAX but decided it was “too boring”. I wonder if he’d have the same reaction to the B-MAX. Okay, it’s not the most exciting car to look at – it’s an MPV after all – but in terms of what he would want the practicality of a compact family car it ticks pretty much every box. From the wide door bins and huge number of cubby holes to the fold-flat seating, it’s all been very thoughtfully designed. The attention to detail is impressive, illustrated perfectly by the small bag hooks integrated into the backs of the front seats. The story is the same in the boot, with more hooks and an adjustable false floor giving customers the option of hidden storage. And then there’s the fact there’s no A-pillar, which makes it very easy for kids to get in, supervised or not.
