Ford B-MAX

The Ford B-Max is the latest in a line of practical yet sporty people carriers after the larger S-Max and C-Max. 

It shares a platform with the Fiesta and the Transit Courier and in terms of space and performance, offers something between the two. 

In order to make loading and unloading passengers easier, the rear doors slide on runners rather than hinging from the centre. This means there is no need for a mid-pillar and instead you get a  huge 1.5-metre opening on each side.
