Review

The Ford B-Max was presented a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show but was only officially launched at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Ford has engineered the B-Max to be a utilitarian vehicle for urban areas. The doors open wide to allow easy access and the interior counts with a large cargo area. To do this, Ford has built the B-pillar into the doors.
