Mercedes B class

The B-Class.
A completely new kind of Mercedes-Benz.
What do you desire in a new car? Versatility? Safety? Performance?
The B-Class saves you from having to choose. It combines the
advantages of many different vehicles to create a completely new kind
of Mercedes-Benz that is both practical and luxurious – so it caters to
your active lifestyle.
This sporty premium car provides exceptional ride comfort, sophisticated
safety systems, a generous amount of space, and plenty of performance.
All of this is remarkably captured in an eye-catching 4.27-metre long body.

When looks matter.
1Not recommended for winter use.
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 silver radiator
grille creating a wedge shape. This is underlined by the large air intakes
in the bumpers and the wide-eyed design of the headlamps. The forward
sloping side contours, together with the flared wheel arches, add a
powerful touch. For more individuality and flare, you also have the choice of
three solid paint finishes – or upgrade to one of six sleek metallic finishes.
Combined with extraordinary versatility, the look of the B-Class shows
you why it stands alone.
HEADLAMPS
The distinctive headlamps set the tone at the front of the B-Class. At the rear,
the horizontally split tail 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 alloy wheels complement the self-assured style of
the B200. The B200 Sport Package has been designed to cater to the sport
enthusiast’s passions, offering 17" 10-spoke alloy wheels. Giving you that
extra edge and boost in performance, try the B200 TURBO Sport Package
and revel in its alluring AMG 17" 5-spoke wheels with performance tires1.

Stylish through and through.
The B-Class interior is remarkably generous in terms of both space and
comfort given its compact exterior. Every drive should leave a lasting
impression, and so the B-Class focuses on the little details. The cockpit
follows an organic design. When it comes to beauty, luxury and practicality,
the B-Class is beyond reproach.
Beauty and comfort have been brought together to create the practical yet
stylish B200 seats that are upholstered in Utrecht fabric and come in
a selection of colours to best suit your desires: Black, Orient Beige and
Alpaca Grey. The ARTICO leather1/Maastricht fabric combination comes
standard on the B200 TURBO, which also offers a sumptuous leather option.
And to ensure every drive provides you with the best possible comfort and
seating position, all B-Class models come standard with 8-way manually
adjustable front seats with height and angle control, and telescopic steering
column adjustment.
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. Rubber-studded aluminium pedals,2
leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and shift knob add to the
experience and put all the controls at your fingertips. The ergonomic centre
console is very user friendly, so you can keep your eyes on the road.









Comfort is not an option.
The little things are what make a car stand apart. It’s all in the finishes.
For example: the B-Class seats are hand fitted. Whether you choose the
refined leather trimmings or the extensive range of fabric combinations,
you are guaranteed satisfaction.
Your control over comfort extends past the smooth seat coverings,
with 8-way manual control of the driver and front passenger seats. Plus,
the seats are fitted with extra lumbar support to make even long drives
exceptionally comfortable. Power adjustable seats highlight the B200 TURBO
Premium Package, and for that extra indulgence, heated front seats1 have
been included to counter those chilly morning commutes.
For even more comfort, the B-Class offers THERMATIC automatic climate
control, with its ability to monitor the interior temperature and adjust
the heating and cooling system as needed. Some may even say that the
B-Class has a mind of its own.
For that added touch, the optional panoramic lamella sunroof surrounds
you with warm summer days, soft sunsets and starry nights. The front
lourve tilts upwards, acting as a wind deflector while the other four lourves slide back to the desired position.

You will be entertained.
When it comes to entertainment, the B-Class is ready to roll. It is fitted
with a single CD player and an AM /FM/weatherband radio. These are
greatly enhanced by extensive steering wheel audio controls – so you can
control the sound without taking your eyes off the road. The B-Class even
goes a step further, with an auxiliary input for any MP3 player or audio
device in the glove box.
If you’d like even more sensational audio, consider upgrading to the
320-watt harman/kardon® LOGIC7® surround sound system with 6-disc
CD changer as part of the Entertainment Package. Also available in this
package is SIRIUS Satellite Radio1, with 110 channels of premium sports,
music and entertainment.
COMAND
The optional COMAND system for the B200 TURBO2 allows you to control
the audio by way of a large 6.5" colour LCD screen in the centre console.
But there’s more: the COMAND system not only lets you control most of
the B-Class’ vehicle settings, but also gives you GPS satellite navigation.
A single disc holds complete road maps of both Canada and the US,
arming you for any adventure.
Smooth surround sound
powers through the
harman/kardon® speakers.
With its 6-disc CD changer,
you have every mood
at your fingertips.





Built for living.
The B-Class is ready to tackle all the big and small things life throws at you.
Don’t be deceived by its compact 4.27-metre length – its interior gives you
an amazing amount of highly versatile cargo space.
With the rear seats occupied, the back cargo area has an impressive
capacity of up to 544 litres, easily handling everything from sports gear to
mid-sized furniture. Even so, the back seat provides as much leg room,
shoulder room and head room as a luxury sedan.
But if you’re wondering just how much you can take along on your travels,
you can configure the B-Class to accommodate an astonishing 1,530 litres of
cargo with the rear seats folded down. This makes it perfect for active living,
no matter what your activity of choice may be.



Performance on a grand scale.
ENGINES
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. The B-Class draws its power from a 4-cylinder
inline engine, making your drive spirited while also conserving fuel.
TRANSMISSIONS
Whether you’re a sporty or relaxed driver, the B-Class’ transmission masters
any style with ease. The B200 comes with a 5-speed manual transmission,
while the B200 TURBO features a 6-speed manual transmission.
Our optional AUTOTRONIC continuously variable automatic transmission
recognizes your personal driving style and adjusts itself accordingly.
Instead of using gears like a conventional transmission, it uses pulleys and
sliding discs to provide the ideal gear ratio at all times. This means your
B-Class always accelerates smoothly with no lags in power. And because
the engine always operates in the optimum engine-speed range,
AUTOTRONIC also ensures low fuel consumption. For a more intense
driving experience, you can even change manually between virtual gears
by nudging the selector lever.

Stay smooth.
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. It also comes equipped with shock absorbers and
a selective damping system that no other car in its class offers. The B-Class’
suspension reacts smoothly to 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.
For more adventurous drivers, there is the option of the Sport Package,
which provides increased stability when cornering and gives you an even
greater grip on that bumpy road. All of this ensures that the B-Class
handles with agility and precision, even with a full load.

How a sandwich could save your life.
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.






The B-Class gets an “A” in safety.
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. (1)
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. (2)
ACTIVE BI-XENON HEADLAMPS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
Truly visionary thinking, the optional Active Bi-Xenon headlamps1
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. (3)
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM AND STEER CONTROL
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), ESP® can apply the brakes to any of the four wheels or
reduce excess power to help you regain control and stay on course.2
ESP® is complemented by our traction control system (ASR). On uneven
surfaces or in inclement weather, ASR prevents the wheels from
inadvertently spinning during acceleration.
Our STEER CONTROL steering assistance system helps the driver stabilize
the vehicle. If the vehicle starts to skid, a clear impulse in the steering
wheel helps the driver counter-steer in the correct direction. (4)
BRAKE ASSIST (BAS)
Brake Assist (BAS) recognizes emergency braking by the speed at which you
apply the brake pedal. When emergency braking is detected, BAS instantly
applies full brake pressure. This compensates for a driver’s tendency to
apply less brake pressure than necessary in panic situations. (5)

PREMIUM PACKAGES
Settle back in the heated front seats1 of a B-Class equipped with the
Premium Package and watch the heads turn as you take it to the street.
With rain-sensing windshield wipers, cruise control, an electronic compass,
an auto-dimming rear view mirror and our Exterior Sight & Light Package,
this vehicle commands attention.
The B200 TURBO Premium Package takes everything up a notch,
thinking about every small detail. That’s why this package includes 8-way
power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, and an electronic
compass to help you find that picture perfect vacation destination.
Also featured is a panoramic lamella sunroof to bring those scenic moments
closer to you, and our THERMOTRONIC dual-zone automatic climate control
that lets the driver and front passenger adjust their temperature separately.
Both Premium Packages include handsome Myrtle wood trim as a luxurious
finishing touch.
Who said you couldn’t have it all?
SPORT PACKAGE
Our all-new Sport Package for the B200 and B200 TURBO gives you
everything you need to make the most out of energetic driving.
The front sport seats’ black ARTICO leather and Zanvoort fabric upholstery
match the exterior of the vehicle perfectly. The sport suspension system
gives you that extra edge. And, for an aggressive look, you’ll get 17"
10-spoke alloy wheels on the B200 or AMG 17" 5-spoke alloy wheels on
the B200 TURBO. Performance tires complete the package, ensuring that
your B-Class will stick to the road, and the minds of all who see it.
