Mercedes-Benz and BMW are considered old rivals, and they have competitive models in all levels. For example, in the field of sloping coupe SUVs, Mercedes-Benz has GLE coupe, while BMW has X6, X4 and other models. In the mainstream executive sedan market, the competition between BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class is also very fierce. However, in the field of multi-purpose SUVs, although the attention is not high, Mercedes-Benz and BMW actually have tit-for-tat models. BMW is a 2-Series station wagon, while Mercedes-Benz has a B-Class, and a replacement model is coming soon.
At this year's Shanghai Auto Show, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class made an amazing debut. At the upcoming Chengdu Auto Show, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class will also be displayed on stage, and the price will be released and sold during the auto show. According to the consistent characteristics of the B-Class, the estimated price will remain in the price range of 220,000-330,000 yuan. This is not expensive for a purely original imported Mercedes-Benz model. You should know that the starting price of the domestic BMW 2 Series station wagon is 219,800 yuan, and it is a 1.5T three-cylinder model. Only the top-end model has a 2.0T four-cylinder powertrain.
Of course, from the perspective of appearance design, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class has evolved significantly compared to the current model. The area of the center gate is larger than that of the current model, and it also has two front faces: regular and sports. The regular version consists of two wide chrome trim strips and a Mercedes-Benz LOGO, while the sports version only has one chrome trim connection, making the shape simpler.
The new Mercedes-Benz B-class length, width and height are 4359*1786*1557mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2729mm. The body size is basically no different from the current model, but the wheelbase is 30mm longer, which has a considerable advantage compared to the BMW 2 Series station wagon. Moreover, the short front and rear suspension body design also increases the interior space to a certain extent. Judging from the side profile, the design of the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class double waistline is also more obvious than the current model. With the five-star large-size aluminum alloy wheels, the overall shape has also been changed a lot.
For the Mercedes-Benz brand, we have seen many models with outstanding tail design over the years. Whether it is GLC or CLS, the rear design is always unforgettable, and the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class has also continued the family-based tail design and has become more elegant and fashionable. The C-shaped LED taillight design is highly recognizable, and this sports version also adopts a double-sided, double-outlet chrome exhaust pipe design, and a diffuser is added under the bumper, which is veritable for the sporty style.
Although the current Mercedes-Benz B-Class also has a Mercedes-Benz family interior style, due to the early design, the sense of fashion and technology are not obvious. The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class is no different from other Mercedes-Benz models in terms of interior. It adopts a 7-inch LCD instrument panel and a 7-inch central control touch screen, while the top-end model has been added to the dual 10.25-inch specifications. With the wood grain decorative panels and turbine-shaped air conditioning air outlet design, the overall style looks more luxurious and technological.
The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class has also been replaced with a new-shaped multi-function steering wheel, which is quite different from the current model, and it still adopts the unique design of Mercedes-Benz models. In addition, the design and layout of the air conditioner operating area is simpler. Moreover, the central control panel is decorated with multi-color interior ambient lights. It seems that even for the more entry-level models, the Mercedes-Benz brand does not want to lose its usual interior advantages. In terms of configuration of
, the specific configuration of the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class is not fully known, but this sports model is equipped with panoramic sunroof, panoramic camera, front reversing radar, keyless entry and other functions, which basically meets the performance of a luxury model.
In addition, this sports model also uses a mixed seat made of leather and fur. The wrapping and anti-slip performance are good, and it is embellished with red stitching, which is full of sportiness. The rear seat is visually measured to be relatively spacious, and the central platform has a limited bulge. The rear seats can also be equipped with a sliding function. The rear seats can slide front and rear about 14 cm, which generally meets the required standards of a multi-purpose SUV.
The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class also supports proportional folding, with the conventional and maximum expanded capacity being 455L and 705L respectively, which is basically at the same level as the BMW 2 Series station wagon.
In terms of power, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class is expected to be equipped with a 1.6T four-cylinder engine, but the power parameters have been improved. The maximum power of the B180 model reaches 136 horsepower, and the maximum power of the B200 model also reaches 163 horsepower. The gearbox will be matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch or an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Overall, after upgrading its power performance, the appearance design of the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class has become more fashionable and fashionable, and is more eye-catching than the current model. As long as the price and current model do not change much, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class will surpass the BMW 2 Series station wagon in terms of comprehensive product strength. However, for consumers, models in this field are still relatively niche choices. Many people will still spend more budgets to consider mid-sized sedans such as Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series , which is better in creating a sense of grade, and its practical performance is not bad.
