The car promises to set new standards with its unique design and best-in-class technological features. It was unveiled in concept form at last year's Geneva show.
The car has wide-open access for drivers, passengers and luggage, with the centre pillars inegrated into the doors themselves.
B-MAX will also deliver superior craftsmanship and high quality materials which Ford say are rarely found on an affordable compact car, together with flexible seating and class-leading load space.
Ford's new 1.0 EcoBoost petrol engine will be available on the B-MAX as will Duratorq TDCi diesels. The car goes on sale in Europe later this year.
