2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class: A Distinguished Compact Car
May 16 2016,
Interior comfort and space, intelligent cargo management, efficient performance and striking design are only a few of the qualities that can be attributed to the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class Sports Tourer. It offers everything a great high-end compact car needs in a small package and with a touch of luxury that you can only find in a Mercedes-Benz. Prices for this swift city car start at only $31,700.
Big Features in a Small Package
Under the hood of the B 250 is an efficient and incredibly responsive turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Mated to this powerplant is an advanced 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers the power to the wheels in a smooth, refined manner. Sporty paddle-assisted manual shifting is available, and drivers will enjoy DYNAMIC SELECT, a feature that lets you choose any of four driving modes — from ECO to Sport — for the shifting, throttle, steering and more. At stoplights, an ECO Start/Stop system automatically pauses the engine to save fuel. Speaking of fuel economy, the B 250 only requires 9.2 L/100 km in the city and 6.6 L/100 km on the highway. The B-Class can be outfitted with Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel drive system which can instantly send up to 50% of the engine's torque to the rear wheels and is also one of the lightest AWD systems in its class.
Stylish and sporty, the B-Class offers a combination of dynamism and looks that is attained through various exclusive styling elements. Available LED headlamps deliver optimal visibility and are also outfitted with LED front turn signals and Daytime Running Lamps. In the rear, fast-acting LED brake and turn lamps and fiber-optic LED tail lamps provide a unique look. Looking for a little bit more aggressive look? Opt for the Performance Package. This unique addition will outfit your B-Class with bold 18" AMG wheels, a lowered suspension, sport brakes, and precise Direct Steering system. Also, the exterior will benefit from the aggressive AMG body styling, as well as an exclusive grille.
The Roomiest Compact Vehicle in its Class
The B-Class’s richly refined cabin is spacious, stylish and comfortable. Although this compact car is small, its interior is engineered to offer maximum space for passengers and cargo. LED ambient lighting, aircraft-style circular air vents with aluminized rings, and rain-sensing wipers are all standard on both variants. Buyers can also add options like a Panoramic sunroof and the superb hand-finished wood trim. Buyers who opt for the versatility Package will benefit from a fold-flat front passenger seat and sliding rear seat.
The B-Class is truly unique in its segment. It offers the efficiency of a luxury compact car with legendary Mercedes-Benz performance and style. Come by Mercedes-Benz Ottawa and see it for yourself!
