Plenty of driving pleasure combined with smooth operation and low consumption – these are the strong points of the B-Class petrol engines. The top-of-the-line model is the B 200 TURBO. With an output of 142 kW (193 hp) and 280 Nm of torque, it accelerates to 100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds and attains a top speed of 225 km/h.

The other two petrol-engine models – the B 170 and the B 200 – show just how dynamic fuel-efficient driving can be.

(B 170: fuel consumption combined: 6.8–7.3 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 163–175 g/km; B 200: fuel consumption combined: 7.2–7.5 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 173–180 g/km; B 200 TURBO: fuel consumption combined: 7.9–8.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 190–197 g/km)[2]
