Mercedes-Benz B-Class:
Blends Different Vehicle Concepts Into Versatility
by Jenny McLane
Blending different vehicle concepts into one versatile vehicle, Mercedes-Benz
announced its new B-Class "Compact Sports Tourer" would have its world premiere
at the Geneva International Motor Show in March.
The B-Class blends different vehicle concepts into one versatile vehicle. One
major feature of the B-Class is the sandwich concept developed by Mercedes-Benz.
With the space-saving arrangement of the engine and transmission partly in front
of and partly beneath the passenger cell, the new B-Class offers the interior
spaciousness of larger sedans and wagons despite its compact external
dimensions.
The body has a length of 4270 millimeters, corresponding to the compact car
class. Inside, however, the new Mercedes model offers more than other cars of
comparable size in this segment in all comfort-related respects, e.g.
shoulder-room, legroom and headroom.
Occupants in the rear benefit from the long wheelbase (2778 millimeters); this
allows a distance between seats and generous knee room, which almost matches
that in the S-Class.
The B-Class can be converted from a touring car to a practical van. Depending on
the number and position of the seats, the load capacity can be increased from
544 to up to 2245 liters (with rear seats and front passenger seat removed).
This corresponds to the load capacity of large wagons. The maximum loading
length is 2.95 meters.
The new Mercedes B-Class Compact Sports Tourer has a height-adjustable load
compartment floor, an asymmetrically divided, folding and removable rear seat
unit plus an optionally removable front passenger seat. The new B-Class will go
on sale in Europe this summer.
