The new Ford B-Max baby MPV will cost from £12,995 when it goes on sale in the UK in September.

Ford's 1.0-litre, three-cylinder Ecoboost unit will be offered alongside 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrols, plus 1.5 and 1.6-litre Duratorq diesels and buyers can choose between three specification levels, including Studio, Zetec and Titanium.

With exception of the 1.6-litre petrol car, all engine variants of the B-Max are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The 1.6 variant drives the car's power through Ford's six-speed Powershift automatic 'box.

The cleanest and most economical B-Max model – the 1.6 Duratorq TDCi – achieves a claimed economy figure of 70.6mpg and emits 104g/km CO2. This engine variant is available on top-spec Titanium models only.

As standard, the Ford B-Max is equipped with a fold-flat passenger seat, 'one hand one motion' fold flat rear seats and a DAB.

Mid-spec Zetec models are priced from £15,600 and feature 15-inch alloys, LED daytime running lights, chrome touches to the B-Max’s window and grille surrounds and a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearknob.
