Advertisement. The Ford B-MAX is one of the safest cars in its class, and it earned a full five-star score in the Euro NCAP crash safety tests in 2012. It scored 92 per cent for adult occupant Honest John Overall Rating Compared to key rivals, the B-MAX is by most measures the best in the class. Sliding side doors and no central pillar mean unimpeded access. Five star Euro NCAP rating. Engines include 1.0 litre three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol. Decent drive. Doors are thick and subsequently heavy to close. Cluttered centre stack. Posted January 27, 2018. Hi, Couple of niggles with my B-Max, and probably coming to the end of this one as it is seasonal. If the window is iced over and put the heated window on, there are a couple of elements on the left hand side working fine, a few in the middle, but apart from that, it's almost completely reliant on the blowers. While the C-MAX wears a decidedly optimistic 47/47/47 MPG (city/highway/combined) badge, the Energi model drops that figure down to a more believable 44/41/43 MPG. On my commute the C-MAX averaged 41.5 MPG and the Energi averaged 40.7 MPG without charging the battery. Ford SYNC 3 and SYNC: Smart, hands-free entertainment and vehicle information systems.

Customer Viewpoint Ratings and Reviews The front-wheel-drive 2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine good for 141 hp and 129 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an electric motor Ford BMax 1.0T 100 Titanium EcoBoost 5dr Hatchback. This car was purchased on a 14 plate from a Ford dealership at 5 months old as our 3dr Fiesta was no longer practical with children on the way. We choose the car mainly for its rear sliding doors which make it easier for car seats and children to get in the car in confined car parking spaces. The Ford B-Max follows in the footsteps of Ford’s popular C-Max and S-Max MPVs. Those have become firm favourites for families because they offer decent handling as well as practical and spacious interiors. This new model is the smallest of the three but as the latest in the line-up it features a raft of breakthroughs by Ford. VjxlA.
