The Ford B-MAX is a small five-seat MPV based on the same underpinnings as the Ford Fiesta
Its main rivals include the Vauxhall Meriva, Kia Venga, Honda Jazz, Nissan Note and Hyundai ix20
Like the Fiesta supermini, the B-MAX is also the best model to drive in its class, with little body lean in corners
Engines include Ford's award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol and a 1.5-litre TDCi diesel
The Ford's party trick is its unrestricted access, with no middle door pillar and a convenient sliding rear door
Our recommendation is one of the petrol EcoBoost engines, unless you drive enough miles to justify the diesel
Thanks to its tall roofline, there's lots of headroom and knee room for passengers
The range-topping Titanium X Navigator trim is luxuriously equipped and gets a panoramic sunroof
Even the entry-level Zetec Navigator trim now has sat nav, DAB radio and Bluetooth as standard
The B-MAX doesn't have the largest boot in its class (measuring 318 litres), but all four passenger seats fold down
The sliding doors are ideal in tight car parks and their wide opening is great for fitting child car seats
Ford has added strengthening to account for the missing door pillars and it scored five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests
The Ford B-MAX came 76th out of 150 models in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey
If you've been in a Fiesta, the B-MAX interior will be instantly familiar. It's attractive but there are some cheap plastics
The Ford B-MAX is Ford's smallest MPV, sitting below the C-MAX, Grand C-MAX, S-MAX and Galaxy
