Exterior.

When it comes to individualisation, the design and equipment lines define the direction here. They create sporty or elegant highlights and if required combine these with optionally available equipment and also packages. As such, you can turn the B-Class into your own personal dream vehicle.

The front-end design.

The sporty, slimline shape of the front section of the new B-Class is decidedly progressive at first glance. Special highlights are created by the outlined powerdomes on the bonnet. At the same time, it is very aesthetic: the bonnet features elegant transitions via the A-pillars into the roof.

The side design.

The new B-Class shows to impressive effect what Mercedes-Benz means by its design philosophy of “Sensual Purity”. As such, it exhibits precise joints and minimal lines with clear, surface-focused shaping. The sporty proportions deliver additional vehicle length with a slight reduction in height.

The rear-end design.

The design idiom of the vehicle is also decidedly powerful when viewed from the rear. It is horizontally aligned, thus ensuring a wide, dynamic appearance. The new B-Class additionally shows its technically modern side thanks to the LED technology in the tail lights.

Interior.

The interior combines sportiness with an even more generous sense of space. At the same time, it meets the highest of aesthetic standards and adds this to a versatility of design for people with creative flair.

Cockpit and steering wheel.

The displays in the B-Class are fully digitised – the driver is able to freely select their settings in the cockpit: depending on mood, driving itinerary or personal driving style.

Doors.

The doors contribute to the attractive overall impression. Depending on the equipment, meticulously finished topstitching and high-quality materials underscore the atmosphere of a premium compact car. A particularly special hand-finished detail is the seamless transition of the door centre panel into the armrest.

Centre console.

The centre console is the all-round talent for operating functions, stowage facilities and networking. Depending on personal requirements, it is available to customers in three different variants.

Control and display concept.

When aesthetics and intelligence are combined: the control and display concept of the B-Class also sets new standards in terms of human-technology interaction. It has been designed systematically for data access which is as unrestricted as possible and the option to communicate at any time. Personalisation also plays a key role.

Interior lighting.

The interior lighting is provided exclusively by energy-saving LEDs. Their special spots of light and luminous surfaces combine function and emotion – they facilitate orientation and operation and make the interior more attractive.

MBUX.

The name MBUX – Mercedes-Benz User Experience – for the new infotainment system signifies that the user experience (UX) has first priority. A unique feature of this system is its ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence. MBUX is individualisable and adapts to suit the user. It thus creates an emotional connection between the vehicle and driver.

Body.

The body meets the highest of demands in terms of safety and comfort. At the same time, high-quality grades of steel help to guarantee low weight for reduced consumption and impressive driving dynamics.

Suspension.

At least as agile as its predecessor while even more comfortable – that was the development brief handed to the suspension specialists for the new B-Class. The suspension with active damping control (optional equipment) enables the driver to choose the preferred damping characteristics.

Environment.

Starting with development and production through driving the vehicle to recycling after a long period of use, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are designed for a very high level of environmental compatibility. This will be documented in an Environmental Certificate pursuant to the international standards ISO 14001 and ISO/TR 14062 “Design for Environment”.

Aerodynamics.

With a cd value starting at 0.24, the new B-Class trumps its predecessor (value starting at 0.25), and is the leader in its segment. Despite bigger internal dimensions, the aerodynamic engineers were simultaneously able to reduce the size of the frontal area (A) in comparison to the previous model – from 2.42 to 2.40 m². A considerable improvement was also achieved in the aeroacoustics, which are important for understanding and hearing one another in the interior.

Safety.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive combines safety and convenience innovations. With these intelligent systems, Mercedes-Benz is not only setting standards in automotive engineering, but is also taking another important step forward on the road to accident-free and autonomous driving.

Development.

The new B-Class, too, was developed and tested at the new Vehicle Safety Technology Centre (TFS). The design of the vehicle structures with regard to geometry, material thickness, joining technique and material quality incorporates findings from real-world accidents. Many bodyshell components are made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to obtain high strength with the lowest possible weight, because the core of the safety design of the body is the highly stable passenger cell.

Intelligent Drive.

The new B-Class comes with driving assistance systems with cooperative driver support, thus providing one of the highest levels of active safety in this segment with functions from the S‑Class. For the first time, the B-Class is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain situations.

Active Brake Assist.

The new B-Class comes as standard with extended Active Brake Assist, which can help mitigate the severity of rear-end collisions with slower-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles ahead – and now even with crossing pedestrians or cyclists – or prevent them altogether.

Modular driving assistance systems.

The B-Class offers a modular range of driving assistance systems. In addition to the already extensive standard equipment specification, optional extras right up to the Driving Assistance package also make it possible to individually configure the vehicle with respect to driving assistance.
