Ford’s new 1.0-liter EcoBoost gasoline engine will be available on the B-MAX, as will Duratorq TDCi diesels. (Earlier post.) The Ford B-MAX goes on sale in Europe later this year.
Ford said that bringing the B-MAX to production required a new approach to door construction, which has resulted in wide-open access for drivers, passengers and luggage; with the center pillars integrated into the doors themselves.

Ford may have another winner with this mini MPV/MAV. The pillar less 5-door system is unique and will be appreciated by people with limited body movement due to physical handicap or the 40+% with plain over weight problems. The new 3-cyl engine + stop/start system should give improved fuel savings.
