Refreshed B-Class Gains Cosmetic And Kit Enhancements

MERCEDES has revealed an updated version of its family-friendly B-Class model.

The arrival of the second-generation car follows sales of more than 350,00 units since its launch in late 2011. Changes to the B-Class include exterior and interior enhancements along with improved equipment lines.

Three diesel and two petrol motors continue to make up the range, with Mercedes claiming consumption statistics ranging from 56.5 to 78.5mpg for the former and 42.8 and 52.3mpg for the latter.

UK deliveries are slated for November with prices starting from £22,575 for the entry-level B 180 manual petrol variant.

Boasting changes to its nose in the form of a new bumper, lights and grille, the second-gen B-Class also gains a new rear bumper plus changes to its cabin to further boost quality and ease of use.
