Vehicle Overview

What is the shape of versatility? What does comfort look like? The B-Class has all the answers. It gives you versatility and spaciousness with a truly sporty flare. The front hood flows down into the broad radiator grille creating a wedge shape. This is underlined by the large air intakes in the bumpers and the design of the headlamps. The forward sloping side contours, together with the flared wheel arches, add a powerful touch. Combined with extraordinary versatility, this sporty design shows why the B-Class deserves the title "Sports Tourer."

Headlamps

The distinctive headlamps set the tone at the front of the B-Class. At the rear, the horizontally split lights are an eye-catching feature. Exterior chrome trim adds an elegant touch all around.

Wheels

From stylish to sporty, the B-Class wheels attract admiration from the word “go.” 16" 5-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels complement the self-assured style of the B200.

The B200 TURBO is attired in 16" aluminium-alloy wheels that feature a 5-twin-spoke design. Even sportier are the alluring17"10-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels with performance tires, which are available on both models as part of the Sport Package.

Interior

Given the compact exterior dimensions of the B-Class, its interior is remarkably generous in terms of both space and comfort. The B200 seats are upholstered in Utrecht fabric. The ARTICO leather1 / Maastricht fabric combination comes standard on the B200 TURBO. The B200 TURBO also offers a sumptuous leather option. And to ensure that every drive provides the best possible seating position, all B-Class models come with a standard height-adjustable driver’s seat.

Driver-Friendly Details

Driving doesn’t get much better than when you’re behind the wheel of the B-Class. Its dramatic interior is rich in details including chrome-ringed instrumentation and aluminium trim. A leather shift knob, rubber-studded aluminium pedals2 and a leather-covered multifunction steering wheel add to the experience and put the controls at your fingertips. The ergonomic centre console is very user friendly, so you can keep your eyes on the road.

Interior Space

Don’t be deceived by the B-Class’ compact 4.27-metre length.

The interior is so comfortable that you’ll still feel fresh and relaxed after a long journey. Even the back seat passengers enjoy as much legroom, shoulder room and headroom as in a luxury sedan.

If you’re wondering how much you can take along on your travels, the B-Class has plenty of cargo space. Even with the rear seats occupied, the back cargo area has a capacity of up to 544 litres, easily handling everything from sports gear to mid-sized furniture.

But there’s even more space than that: In next to no time, you can configure the B-Class to accommodate up to 1,530 litres of cargo with the seats folded down.

Performance

The B-Class is always in top form. The B200 TURBO generates an
outstanding 193 hp with 206 lb-ft of torque, while the B200 offers 134 hp
and 136 lb-ft of torque.

Transmissions

Whether you’re a sporty or relaxed driver, the B-Class’ transmissions master any style with ease. The B200 comes with a standard 5-speed manual transmission, while the B200 TURBO features a 6-speed manual transmission.

Our AUTOTRONIC continuously variable automatic transmission is available as an option. It recognizes your personal driving style and adjusts itself accordingly. Thanks to the continuously variable design of AUTOTRONIC, the B-Class accelerates smoothly without any lag in power. You can even change manually between virtual gears by nudging the selector lever. And because the engine always operates in the optimum engine-speed range, AUTOTRONIC also ensures low fuel consumption.

Suspension

The B-Class manages to deliver both comfortable and responsive driving, thanks to its advanced suspension, unusually wide track and the longest wheelbase in its class. With new-design shock absorbers and a selective damping system, the suspension reacts smoothly to minor bumps in the road, adapting the damping as required. The parabolic axle makes the suspension more stable in corners, improves wheel location and reduces tire wear. All of this ensures that the B-Class handles with agility and precision, even with a full load.

Safety

Safety is another strength of the B-Class.

Its entire design is based on the unique sandwich concept. In the event of a frontal impact, the engine and transmission are able to slide down along the angled pedal floor and below the passenger compartment.

Because your seating position is slightly higher in the B-Class than in a conventional car, the sandwich concept is also a crucial advantage in the event of a side-on collision. It also means that you benefit from better all-round visibility

Six Standard Air Bags

Every B-Class provides the protection of six standard air bags, including adaptive dual-stage front air bags, two side-impact air bags and window-curtain air bags that expand between the A and C-pillars, providing extra protection for all four outboard occupants.

Advanced Seat Belts

All four outboard seat belts feature Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs), which help remove seat-belt slack in a sufficiently severe front or rear impact. Belt force limiters are also included, helping to reduce the peak deceleration forces on belted occupants.

Electronic Stability Program and STEER CONTROL

For all-road, all-season prowess, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) can dramatically enhance cornering control by monitoring your steering and braking actions and responding nearly instantaneously if it detects a loss of directional control or stability. If your B-Class begins to fishtail (oversteer) or plow (understeer) in a corner, ESP can apply the brakes to any of the four wheels or reduce excess power to help you regain control and stay on course.1 ESP brakes the outside front wheel to counteract oversteer. The new STEER CONTROL steering assistance system helps the driver to stabilize the vehicle. If the vehicle starts to skid, a clear impulse in the steering wheel helps the driver to countersteer in the correct direction.

Brake Assist (BAS)

Complementing the anti-lock brakes, Brake Assist senses emergency braking by way of the speed at which the driver lifts off the accelerator. BAS immediately applies maximum available braking power, potentially reducing the overall stopping distance.

Active Bi-Xenon Headlamps With Cornering Lights

Truly visionary thinking, the optional Active Bi-Xenon headlamps monitor your steering angle and driving speed, then swivel their beams to either side to better follow the curvature of the road ahead. As a result, you get a better view into corners, with illumination improved by up to 90% over conventional headlamps.

Premium Package

Settle back in the heated front seats of a B200 equipped with the Premium Package and watch the heads turn as you take it to the street. With exterior chrome accents on the grille, rain-sensing windshield wipers, illuminated visor vanity mirrors, cruise control, auto-dimming mirrors and our exterior Sight & Light Package, this vehicle commands attention.

The B200 TURBO Premium Package takes everything up a notch with heated front seats, an electronic compass, Seat Comfort Package and a Panoramic Lamella Sunroof.
