Detailed analysis of the Ford B-MAX Trend 1.4 Duratec 90 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The Ford B-MAX is not just another minivan; it's a statement of intent, an ode to family practicality. Born in 2012, this car dared to reimagine cabin access, eliminating the central pillar to offer unprecedented entry. It's a vehicle that wins you over not with its speed, but with the intelligence and care with which it was designed to make daily life easier.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the B-MAX with its 90 HP 1.4 Duratec engine, the sensations are of honesty and adequacy. Don't expect acceleration that pins you to your seat; its heart beats at a calm pace, perfect for the urban jungle. In the city, it moves with agility, and its chassis, bearing the Ford hallmark, conveys confidence and a pleasant driving feel. On the open road, it requires patience, but in return, it offers bomb-proof mechanical reliability and a serene journey.
Design and aesthetics
This is where the B-MAX becomes pure magic. Its exterior design is compact and functional, but the real genius lies in its B-pillarless door system. Opening the front doors and sliding the rear ones creates a 1.5-meter wide space that transforms the task of fitting a child seat or helping a family member get in into a simple and liberating gesture. The interior, though filled with buttons typical of its era, is spacious and versatile, a sanctuary designed for real life.
Technology and features
The B-MAX's greatest technological feat is its very structure, an engineering masterpiece that ensures safety without the central pillar. Beyond that, in its Trend trim, it offered the Ford SYNC system to connect your phone and control functions by voice, a welcome convenience. It doesn't overwhelm with screens or complex assistants but focuses on providing just the right and necessary technology to make journeys more comfortable and safe.
Competition
In its time, the B-MAX faced ingenious rivals like the Opel Meriva with its reverse-opening doors, or the spacious Citroën C3 Picasso and Fiat 500L. While others competed on modularity or quirky design, the Ford bet everything on a winning card: total accessibility. No other offered that feeling of freedom and space when opening the doors, making it a one-of-a-kind option.
Conclusion
The Ford B-MAX is a car for those who understand that true luxury isn't always in power or the latest technology, but in solutions that make our lives easier. It's a vehicle with a soul, a faithful companion that proved the most brilliant innovation is the one that solves everyday problems with astonishing elegance and simplicity. A car that, sadly, is no longer manufactured, but left an indelible mark.
