Mercedes-Benz B-Class: fresh image and new technologies

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class was another presentation at the Paris Motor Show that was greeted with enthusiasm by the public. The changed image places the B-Class alongside the current Mercedes-Benz, but it hides the technology that the S-Class itself is proud of.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class it carries the already familiar silhouette of a smaller MPV, with the difference that it has completely refreshed image, but hides inside the latest Mercedes technology. But before technology, let's focus on what is noticeable at first glance. If the predecessor was somehow disproportionate, the latest Mercedes B can be said to be 'wrong' proportions thing of the past. The front overhang is significantly shorter, and the front part is rounded off by the Multi-Beam headlights, which we already saw on the A-Class. The unusual side lines have gone bye-bye, as have the large rear lights, which have now been replaced by significantly more attractive and smaller lights. The entire image can be said to have melted in step with the times and follows the image current ones Mercedes-Benz models.

Interior impressed even more than the external image. Class B became digital, which can be seen from a bunch of screens and smart MBUX infotainment system. The base class B has two available 7-inch screen, and two are available for higher equipment 10.25-inch screen. Even in the B class, we can think of voice control, augmented reality, a projection screen and massage seats as optional equipment, as found in Mercedes higher price classes.

In addition to the already mentioned MBUX system, the new B-Class can boast the Intelligent Drive system found in the top S-Class. This means that we have for the first time in history in B class an option partially autonomous driving, when road conditions allow us to do so. In addition, we have available a bunch of safety systems that have become the basis of every Mercedes-Benz. Among the engines, we can mention a new one 2.0 liter diesel that will have available 148 or 188 horsepower. We already met the other engines in the A class, namely 1.5 liter diesel and gasoline by volume 1.3-liter. We can expect more in the future four-wheel drive and new ones 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. He got a Mercedes-Benz B-Class attractive image, which will give to many to think, when he will decide between A or B classes.
