Frequently asked questions about Ford B-Max
Why was the Ford B-Max discontinued?
The Ford B-Max was discontinued in 2017 due to lacklustre sales figures, poor demand for mini MPVs, and a rapidly growing demand for larger crossover SUVs in the mid-2010s. While the B-Max received generally good reviews and a five-star safety rating by Euro NCAP, it was released at a time when consumers were looking for something different. Ford did not see it as profitable and instead focused on much more profitable models like the Ford EcoSport.
Is a Ford B-Max bigger than a C-Max?
No, the Ford C-Max is a little bigger than the B-Max. The Ford B-Max measures approximately (in length x width x height) 4.1 x 1.8 x 1.6 metres; the second-generation C-Max (not the Grand C-Max) measures approximately 4.4 x 1.8 x 1.6 metres. In terms of boot storage, the C-Max offers around 432L and the B-Max around 318L.
What replaces the Ford B-Max?
When the Ford B-Max was discontinued in 2017, no direct successor was planned. Unofficially, the Ford EcoSport was fairly similar and recent iterations of the Ford Kuga and Ford Puma can be seen as quasi-replacements for the B-Max. Generally, Ford is directing its focus away from MPVs and more towards crossover SUVs and electric vehicles.
What car is similar to a Ford B-Max?
Some of the closest competitors to the Ford B-Max are the Vauxhall Meriva, Nissan Note, Fiat 500L, and the Citroën C3 Picasso. Amongst Ford models, the B-Max is somewhat similar to the C-Max and the Ford Fiesta, the latter of which was the basis for the B-Max’s design.
Is Ford B-Max economical?
The Ford B-Max is a fairly fuel-efficient and economical mini MPV. Real-world fuel efficiency estimates for 2013 and 2015 B-Max (petrol) are 34.9 mpg and 41.7 mpg, whereas diesel variants are reportedly much higher. In terms of value, the B-Max was a solid car for its time with good reviews - it just wasn’t very popular. A used B-Max can be a worthy purchase so long as the car is in reasonable condition.
