Ford didnt give any figures for the engine outputs, but did say that a version below the 99bhp and 118bhp will be available. These have been already confirmed for the B-MAX. Expect over 60mpg from that model. It might even improve on the current cars 85.6mpg and 87g/km emissions.

Theres ESP, on top of the side, curtain and knee airbags and Active City Stop will be an option for the first time.
