Ford B-MAX 1.6 TDCi road test: high mileage business drivers dive in

Clever design turns the B-MAX into the little big car.
We liked the B-MAX with the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine. Will the more expensive diesel suit higher mileage company car drivers?

That’s hardly significant, so what to do?

It’s a case of mileage matters. For most SME company car drivers on a low mileage – say 10,000 and below – the EcoBoost B-MAX makes more sense; if your business mileage takes you much above that the highly capable 1.6 TDCi B-MAX comes into play thanks to its superior fuel economy.

Use our business car tax calculator – in the ‘tax’ drop-down main menu – to help you make your decision.

Either way, with the Ford B-MAX you’ll be getting a stylish, smart, and tax-efficient company car – and one with its own party piece sliding doors for extra ease of entry functionality that business colleagues, kids and elderly relatives will all thank you for.
