Thread: 2011 Geneva auto show pretpregled: Ford B-Max koncept

Ford je upravo predstavio B-Max, par-manje MPV temelji se na Fiesta podloge, ali koji je, na nešto više od 157 inča dugo je 4. 10 cm duži od Fiesta pet vrata, ali potpuno 12. 6 inča kraći od C-Max.

Ono što čini B-Max uistinu prepoznatljiv je njegova kombinacija konvencionalno šarke prednjih vrata uparenih s kliznim stražnjim vratima; oba seta vrata mogu se otvoriti pojedinačno za ulazak u stup i izlaz stvarajući 59-inčni dugi otvor.

Ford vjeruje da je ova kombinacija vrata prvo svjetovi.

Sjedim 4. 3 inča viši od Fiesta, B-MAX također pruža izuzetno velikodušan smještaj za svoje putnike. Vozači imaju koristi od višeg položaja za sjedenje, dok se stražnja sjedala za noge i kabina za glavu značajno poboljšavaju.

B-MAX, koji bi trebao ići na prodaju kasnije 2011/početkom 2012 u Europi, pokreće Fords najnovije tri cilindra jednoslojni turbo-nabijen EcoBoost motor s izravnim ubrizgavanjem i twin nezavisno promjenjive kamere i stop-start.

Ford has just unveiled the B-Max, a pillar-less MPV based on Fiesta underpinnings but which, at slightly more than 157 inches long is 4. 3 inches longer than the Fiesta five-door but a fully 12. 6 inches shorter than the C-Max.

What makes the B-Max truly distinctive is its combination of conventionally hinged front doors paired with sliding rear doors; both sets of doors can be opened individually for a pillar free entry and exit creating a 59-inch long opening.

Engineered for production, Ford believes this door combination is a worlds first.

Sitting 4. 3 inches taller than Fiesta, the B-MAX also provides extremely generous accommodation for its occupants. Drivers benefit from a higher command seating position, while rear seat legroom and headroom is significantly improved.

B-MAX, which should go on sale later 2011/early 2012 in Europe, is powered by Fords latest three-cylinder one-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine featuring direct injection and twin independently variable cams and stop-start.
