The best-selling model from Mercedes-Benz has undergone a major facelift including exterior and interior upgrades as well as an attractive, redefined design and equipment improvements.

The pioneer is now in better shape than ever," commented Ola Källenius, Member of the Divisional Board Mercedes-Benz Cars responsible for Marketing & Sales.
"The B-Class is the perfect (family) car for anyone who attaches importance to practicality, comfort and safety, but at the same time doesn't want to miss out on sportiness or driving dynamics.", he added.
