    While the rest of the motoring world shifts its resources from MPV to SUV, Mercedes continues to invest in a car for every occasion. Despite declining segment sales, Mercedes has completely overhauled the B-Class for 2019. Based on the same platform as the A-Class, the tech-laden newcomer aims to better its predecessor in every way.
    So, six months after we first tried the A-Class hatchback, our attention turns to Merc’s five-seat MPV. Here, we’re testing the B 200 turbo petrol, which is expected to account for the lion’s share of sales when it goes on sale in the UK next month.

    The B class is the best value for money. Its very very spacious on the inside with plenty of boot room, and probably the best driver sitting position in the baby benz's.

    Not sure why but I think I actually like this more than the A-class visually.

      ShroomWalrus especially the back, im still shocked everytime i see the back of the new a class

      I think the led desing on the front lights alson looks better on the B class.

      That is what I was about to write

      From the front at least, it does look better. But if I had to choose between A or B-class I'll take the A-class any day.

      I was always tempted with the B class ended up with C Class AMG Line.
      I will hopefully go B Class this time... waiting for Hybrid

    Why SUV’s should be preferable to MPV’s by car buyers, is inexplicable in my opinion. In fact to me this new B-class i more desirable than any other current Mercedes model.

    Not ONE single footage of the interior. ABSOLUTE AMATEURS!!!

      *The interior is class ahead of anything else on the market, I have a B200CDi with Premium Pack and the interior is mindblowing on another level.*

    This car deserves an AMG Boy racer. Please make a B45 AMG.

    With the imminent onslaught of EQ models, I'm guessing there won't be another B250e? I had the current all electric model, and apart from only doing 80-100miles per charge, it was such an amazing car to own and drive.

  • @PTZOUTZ

    That interior is top notch

    it would be great if u actually mention what the NVH is

    It is NOT Renault sourced you fool. The petrol one was CO-DEVELOPED by Mercedes and Renault and the 1.5 base diesel is Renault sourced. There is a difference. No one ever said the previous gen Mini had a Peugeot sourced engine because it was CO-DEVELOPED by BMW and Peugeot.

    Nice review👍🏻
    Please tell me if the "B200 d" version came with multilink suspension at the rear.
    Thank you

    PEUGEOT 3008 is a good match though.

    This aggressive front end looks hilarious on a frumpy granny car.

    I would rather purchase the Renault/Dacia 7 passenger Lodgy with the same 1.5L engine at LESS than 1/2 the price!

    Mercedes Benz price with Renault tech. No thanks!!!

      Renault parts existed on Mercedes cars for over a decade now. And Renault are quite decent anyway !

      It’s not the parts, it’s the execution

    Hideous. They literally just pasted the A class front end on a taller car not accounting for its height. Awkward
