OEM and high-quality replacements are what you need to keep that Ford in excellent condition, regardless of rough roads. Often, the most challenging aspect of restoring a vehicle is finding a reasonable source of quality parts. It has three different trim levels: Studio, Zetec, and Titanium. The Studio is the base model and is only available with the 1.4-liter engine. The first B-Max was purchased by the President of Romania, Traian Basescu, on June 25, 2012, directly from the Craiova plant. In September 2017, B-Max production ended due to declining demand for the model, as well as a general decline in mini MPV sales. Unusually for a Ford and Ford B-MAX engines, this model did not receive a mid-cycle facelift to boost sales, with the closest successors being targeted by both the EcoSport and Fiesta Active, transitions from MPV design to SUV. B-Max features the Intelligent Protection system. It also included Torque Vectoring Control, which improves handling and agility, as well as SYNC and Fold Flat systems. Fords emergency assistance function alerts local emergency service operators after an accident, with the language used depending on the country and region. It was available in more than thirty countries and mostly in Europe. History The smallest kind of passenger car evolved in the second decade of the 21st century. In the Noughties, being so-called supermini-MPVs, cars like the Nissan Note, which fit below compact scenic models and C-MAX-sized models, but usually offered just a slight take on the regular vehicle. New brands entering the market in this segment had to try to create something more. So Citroen comes with improvements in terms of the space this type of car could offer with the rounded but forceful C3 Picasso, Skoda offers us a more avant-garde design with their Roomster, and Vauxhall delivers rear doors that open opposite in their Meriva. Interestingly, although these different approaches were made, none of them truly advanced. But here is a car that advanced Ford B-MAX. Launched in the fall of 2012, it scores with its doors, but in a very different way from any of its rivals. This was the first car of its kind to use sliding side doors and, more uniquely, the first to completely eliminate the central B-pillar, so with the front door open, there is an enormous 1.5 m width of the cabin, stretching from the windshield to the rear hatch. A much more innovative design of the Blue Oval (FORD logo) compared to the direct predecessor of this car, the Fusion. And there is equal brilliance under the hood, with the option of a 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine, offering a decent alternative to diesel. The idea was to attract the type of buyer who wants the versatility of a larger compact MPV in C-MAX style but needs something much easier to park and cheaper to run. The B-MAX sold steadily until it was discontinued in 2018. What a Ford B-Max type car and Ford BMax auto parts can offer you Imagine the effect of shrinking Fords large S-MAX people carriers in a warm wash, and if youre familiar with that model, youll get a mental picture of, well, pretty much what we have here, a design 11 cm longer than a Fiesta from this period, but 32 cm shorter than the C-MAX, the next model in the preferences of Ford people who rank. This design uses Fords kinetic design language, and in general, the stylists have done a pretty efficient job of disguising what must be an awkward shape, with the short wheelbase and tall body. You will certainly be drawn to the unique B-MAX details wherever you look. The Aston Martin-like front grille might be the first distinctive feature you notice, but the more important defining feature in terms of design that catches attention every time discussions turn to this car: THE DOORS. The front ones open normally, but the rear ones slide on cleverly hidden runners, so parents no longer have to worry about their offspring re-sculpting adjacent parked cars in narrow supermarket parking spaces. And with the side doors open, youre ready to admire the centerpiece of this car: the absence of the type of central B-pillar that almost all other cars in the world have for structural rigidity. Here, the same rigidity is ensured by the very edges of the doors when they close tightly, squeezing against the body. What this ingenious piece of so-called Easy Access design creates is an incredibly easy-to-access car for anyone and any age, allowing them to get in and out. And also to be able to introduce bulky packages into the car and remove them easily. With both side doors open, there is a wide 1.5 m opening, into which you can slide items up to 2.34 m in length if you have the option to fold the front passenger seat. Flat-pack IKEA? No problem. Bicycles? Yes, they will fit in from the side. Of course, most of the time, youll still load stuff like this through the boot. Although its larger than that of a rival Nissan Note, it is, at 318 liters, about 15-20% smaller than most other obvious supermini-MPV rivals, but you can make the most of the space you have by specifying a load area organizer that will separate your eggs from your iron brew. Standard is an adjustable load floor that you can set to create a completely level loading area when you push forward the foldable rear bench (with a simple one-move action) to reveal up to 1386 liters of total fresh air. However, this car was primarily created for people and their life protection. Thanks to the pillarless easy access system, its simplicity itself to lean in and install a child seat or transport an elderly relative. Once inside, theres an airy feel, even if you dont opt for the full-length panoramic glass roof. More importantly, despite the diminutive 1.8 m width, you can almost accommodate three adults on the rear bench, who will have more head, leg, and knee room than they would enjoy in most competing cars, despite the lack of sliding rear seats found in some competitor offerings. Children, of course, who are less likely to complain about the lack of a central armrest. Unlike larger occupants who might make you wonder about safety issues if the car sets off with one of the sliding doors fully or partially open. Its an issue: after all, doors are heavy things weighing about 55 kg and will close with some force if left free before sudden braking. But theres a loud warning alarm that will alert the driver before this happens, and in any case, a responsible parent would have their children seated in seats and secured with belts at such a moment. And in the front? Well, with a total vehicle height thats 12 cm higher than a Fiesta, you get all the advantages of what Ford calls a better command seat position. The seatbelt here must, of course, be anchored to the seat itself, with no B-pillar behind the right shoulder to attach it to. From this pleasant prominent position, with the height and reach adaptability of the steering wheel, you can control the commands of a dashboard thats easy to operate if you speak Ford fluently. In front of you, theres a binnacle with dual instruments, covered with wonderfully soft-touch plastic, contrasting with the harder, scratchy surfaces on the door tops, glove box, and center console. At least the build quality from the Romanian factory seems solid. Climb the range, and theres a huge difference in cabin ambiance, from the clarity you get at entry-level to the plush feel of top models that have some features like an eight-speaker Sony-branded stereo system. Distinctive features include the thin, wing-like section of the upper instrument panel reaching towards the door panels. And the prominent center console, which flows down between the front seats. In terms of storage space, a rubberized slot to park your smartphone would have been a useful addition, but otherwise, all the usual places are offered. What exactly are you looking for in a car like the Ford B-MAX and Ford B-MAX auto parts? Weve encountered plenty of satisfied B-MAX customers, but there have also been a number of rogue examples with issues that used market buyers will need to look out for. Weve come across plenty of electrical problems. One customer found that his car needed to be used every day, otherwise it wouldnt start due to battery drain, so Ford auto parts need to be ordered. There have also been plenty of complaints about the automatic gearbox, so be very careful when it comes to this aspect. One owner said this gearbox catches and shakes like a box of screws. What else? Well, on one car, the front windshield defrosting mechanism failed, and the car exhibited an annoying surge between 15 and 25 km/h when not accelerating hard. The battery grounding cable also failed in that particular example, bringing the car to an immediate stop with the gears locked (a fault identified as a broken/sheared cable at the point where the cable meets the connector, suggesting it was a manufacturing defect). Another owner complained about the drivers seat being defective, having play and rocking back and forth. Some owners have reported issues with the stereo system and ventilation installation, so check them thoroughly before buying. As usual, check if the service book is fully up to date. Some ex-fleet models may have missed garage visits. Costs with original Ford BMax spare parts Approximate price values based on a 2013 EcoBoost 1.0 B-MAX 1.0 - An air filter costs around 60-135 lei, and an oil filter costs approximately 45-65 lei. Brake pads can be found from 160 to 330 lei for a set up to 750 lei if opting for premium ones. Front brake discs can be as affordable as around 350 lei, although we found more expensive branded items worth 550 lei. A set of wipers costs around 110-200 lei per package. A timing belt for original Ford B-MAX auto parts costs between 175-350 lei, while a water pump costs between 450-910 lei. A fuel pump can be about 1920-2700 lei. On the road and Ford B-MAX engines Ford models and Ford BMax engines are generally very easy to drive due to chassis rigidity. Take that away, and you neutralize one of the Blue Ovals (FORD logo) strongest selling points. But isnt that exactly what happened with this B-MAX? Without a central B-pillar, youd expect the whole structure to be flexible all over. Youd expect disappointment at the wheel. But, as youll find out once set in motion, you wont get it. We assume its easy to be impressed when you have fairly low expectations, but this really confuses all your conceptions. Its a people carrier for a start, and worse, one with sliding doors, previously a sure-fire recipe for dynamic fatigue in any car you care to name. Yet as soon as you set off, this Ford feels tight, even fun: certainly noticeable in the way it responds to how you want to drive. Of course, it helps here that the basics are right. You sit quite high, positioned much higher than you would be in a Fiesta with everything you need perfectly placed around you. Even at higher speeds, visibility is excellent. As for the difference with the B-pillars, forget about it! Not because there wouldnt be a difference, but just because you cant see it. Clever design has integrated the structure of the central pillar into the main edges of the front and rear doors, where they meet. When closed, they fit very well to the body and become part of the cars rigidity. So much so that this B-MAX actually boasts a stiffer structure than that of the Fiesta superminis its based on. You might wonder if this car can offer you the necessary comfort during the ride or if youll have a stiff ride. Well, yes, youll have a comfortable ride. In fact, ride quality is one of the best things about this car, which is all the more remarkable given that the engineers didnt have anything too exotic to work with. The suspension has a suppleness that strikes a better balance than in anything else Ford makes, absorbing the terrible city asphalt, yet firm enough to keep the body well and controlled while driving on winding roads, which youll enjoy thanks to the standard torque vectoring system that helps with cornering and correct, well-weighted electric steering. Its not about the Ford Focus - the tall shape cant be as well tied as a conventional hatch - but wed go so far as to say that new standards have been set here for supermini-MPVs in the driving and handling department. Which is something special for a car thats truly designed for an urban environment, a place where suddenly original Ford B-MAX auto parts start to make sense. For starters, you get the kind of view from the car thats not accessible to a typical supermini driver, so you can spot the jams forming on the road ahead of you and, if necessary, reorient to another route. Also, the car isnt too wide, so width restrictions cant bother you, you can pass through tight gaps in traffic, and you can park in tighter spots that would be difficult or impossible for a larger vehicle. However, once behind the wheel of the car, the front and rear extremities can be a little hard to judge, making the optional parking camera package a worthy investment to consider, as are Ford B-MAX auto parts. And under the hood, what will I find? Well, theres nothing too impressive at the bottom of the range, where the choices offered remind you of how Ford technology once was. Among these are a 1.4-liter 90PS petrol engine that runs in line and a 1.6-liter petrol variant of only 105PS, which is especially for older or disabled buyers. Inevitably, the engines youd really want are the more expensive ones further up, and if the asking price allows you to afford one of them, then theres plenty to admire, especially when it comes to the smartest petrol engine on the planet, Fords smartest 1.0-liter EcoBoost unit, complete with its distinct three-cylinder thrum and offered to B-MAX buyers with 100 or 120PS. We first saw this adapted to the larger Focus family range, and although here, its accessible through a five-speed gearbox instead of six speeds, its still an impressive kit, the higher-powered kit combining an eleven-second 0-60 km/h time. Alternatively, theres the 1.5-liter 75PS diesel developed for use in all Ford small car offerings but somewhat slow. A better combination of virtues is offered by the 1.6-liter 95PS TDCi unit, an engine that reaches this car to sixty in 13.9s on the way to 108 km/h and offers a slightly greater performance boost. Conclusions Its an ironic thing, considering that Fords B-MAX lacks very little - namely its B-pillar. If it werent for that, this would have been a smart, thoughtfully designed, but generally unremarkable addition to a supermini-MPV segment that the Blue Oval hadnt previously addressed. This stroke of genius in design made this model a class leader.
