The car model I will take photos of today is a relatively unpopular family car, the Mercedes-Benz imported B-class. It stands to reason that given the current situation of Mercedes-Benz in China, there should be no model that cannot be sold, but Mercedes-Benz B is an exception. As a hatchback model focusing on family practicality, the Mercedes-Benz B has a raised body structure based on the Mercedes-Benz A to gain more space. It is close to an MPV in shape. Models with the same concept include the BMW 2 Series Touring and the Volkswagen Golf Fuga. trip. The appearance can only be said to be that of a Mercedes-Benz B. It has gone through several generations, and they are all updated simultaneously on the basis of the Mercedes-Benz A. Therefore, it almost shares the configuration of the Mercedes-Benz A in terms of interior and power. Of course, the design is mainly for home use, allowing it to have a wider interior space than the Mercedes-Benz A. The front face of the Mercedes-Benz B adopts a family-style design, with a large Mercedes-Benz logo on the air intake grille and double-spoke chrome trim. There are no fog lights on both sides, and the front bumper in the middle has an extra chrome trim, but it increases maintenance costs. The actual B200 model uses a full LED headlight design, but the B180 model uses a halogen light source. The top model also has geometric multi-beam headlights and automatic high and low beam configurations, but they require price options. The difference between Mercedes-Benz B and Mercedes-Benz A is reflected on the side of the car. They are both compact models, but the cabin height of Mercedes-Benz B is significantly higher. However, the A-pillar lacks a triangular window. This design increases the blind spot of the A-pillar, which is a bit impersonal. The wheels adopt a multi-stripe design. The real car has 205/55 R17 tires. For high-end models, 18-inch wheels are optional. The taillights are also full LED light sources, and their sha

The real car has 205/55 R17 tires. For high-end models, 18-inch wheels are optional. The taillights are also full LED light sources, and their shape is somewhat similar to that of the A-class hatchback. Because of its imported status, the tail mark only has the word B200, which represents a 1.3T high-power engine. The design of the rear is relatively rounded, and echoing the front of the car, the black rear bumper also has chrome trim strips. The chrome exhausts on both sides are just decoration, and the real exhaust is hidden under the rear of the car. I have to say that it is the first time I see Mercedes-Benz’s dual-large screen design being applied to a compact model like Mercedes-Benz A/B. After all, this is a treatment that even Mercedes-Benz C does not have. The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and 10.25-inch large central control screen bring an interior quality that is far superior to that of its class. High-end models also have 64-color ambient lights. It can be said that in terms of interiors, Mercedes-Benz is far ahead of the other two BBA brands. Left behind. The iconic air outlet design, coupled with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, also has its own electric heating function for the front seats. The seats are wrapped in leather, but the seats are on the hard side. The front driver's seat supports electric adjustment and has seat memory and leg rest functions. Mercedes-Benz B adopts a relatively rare double sunroof design, with the front part openable and the rear part closed. The advantage of this is that the middle beam can improve the rigidity of the vehicle. The rear seats have three independent headrests, and the middle floor is not completely flat, which affects the seating of the middle passenger. There is no independent air outlet in the rear row, but there are two USB Type-C sockets. The size of the trunk is not ample, but fortunately the interior is relatively neat. At the same time, the rear seats can be folded down in a 4/2/4 ratio, making space expansion more flexible. There are currently three powertrains for Mercedes-Benz B models on sale. The first is the entry-level B180 model, which uses a low-power 1.3T engine with a maximum power of 136 horsepower and a maximum torque of 200 Nm; the middle B200 model is a 1.3T engine with a maximum power of 136 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. The power engine has a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm; while the top-of-the-line B260 model is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The above engines are all 4-bar, and the B260 model is also equipped with 4MATIC four-wheel drive, which is simply a steel cannon. In terms of gearboxes, all Mercedes-Benz B series have 7-speed dual-clutch gearboxes, and are equipped with paddle shifters to enhance the sporty feel of driving. In terms of chassis, mid-range and low-end models of Mercedes-Benz B all have MacPherson struts in the front and torsion beams in the rear. The cost is low and it is not very consistent with the positioning of a luxury brand. The low configuration and lack of sincerity does not mean that the torsion beam suspension is not good, but it does not seem very kind to an imported Mercedes-Benz that is priced close to the Mercedes-Benz C and is more expensive than the Audi A4L. In addition, for a model that is mainly targeted at family users, the Mercedes-Benz B has problems such as A-pillar blind spots, missing rear air vents, and hard seats, all of which make it seem less user-friendly. In comparison, the similarly positioned Bao 2 Series Touring and Volkswagen Golf Jialu appear to be more cost-effective. This article is an original article shot by New Car Quick Review.
