How many seats does a Ford B-MAX have?
The Ford B-MAX seats five people.
Designed as a compact family MPV, the B-MAX offers seating for up to five occupants with two front seats and a three-person rear bench. It was produced by Ford from 2012 to 2017 and is known for its twin sliding rear doors, which ease access in tight spaces, though the seating count remains five in all trims.
Seat capacity and layout
Here’s how the five seats are distributed across two rows:
- Front row: two individual seats for the driver and front passenger
- Rear row: a three-passenger bench across the width of the car
In summary, the B-MAX provides five seats in total, configured as 2+3 across two rows.
Practical notes
Access and interior flexibility
The B-MAX is notable for its twin sliding rear doors, which improve access to the rear seats in tight parking spaces. This feature works with the five-seat layout to enhance practicality for small families or groups.
Market history and availability
Production ran from 2012 through 2017. Across markets, the seating configuration remained five seats, with no seven-seat option offered. Trim levels affect equipment and materials but not the overall passenger capacity.
Summary
The Ford B-MAX seats five people in a simple 2+3 layout—two up front and three in the rear. It’s remembered for its practical sliding doors and compact footprint, but it never offered more than five seats during its production run.
