Sporty contours, extending from the wedge-shaped bonnet across the roof pillars to the distinctive-sporty rear, plus a wide stance and chiselled wings. One glance is enough to tell you that the B-Class is something very special.

Observe the details: for instance, the radiator grille with its three sporty louvres painted in atlas grey, the 10-hole wheel trim, or the expressive air intakes in the bumper covering. The large exterior mirrors help provide an ideal overview and are finished in the vehicle colour as standard. When viewed from behind, the elegant rear bumper and the rear lamps in gloss design are particularly striking features.

With its combination of dynamic design, ride comfort and functionality and precisely thanks to its compact dimensions too, the B-Class is streets ahead of its rivals.
