The first generation B-Class was introduced in Europe in spring 2005, and introduced in Canada in autumn 2005. The B-Class uses front-wheel drive with sandwich floor construction, parabolic rear suspension,[4] and a two-box design — one for the drivetrain and another the shared passenger/luggage compartment. The B-Class maximizes its interior volume via its height. Having derived from the smaller A-Class, it retained that car's sandwich floor concept.[5]

All models included passive automobile safety systems including ESP, ABS, traction control, cornering lights, active lighting system, and headlamp assist.[6] In the event of a frontal impact the engine and transmission slide beneath the passenger compartment.

In 2008 it was updated with a start-stop system and a BlueEFFICIENCY option.[7] A new NGT variant was added, which could burn either gasoline or natural gas.[8]

In 2011 Mercedes-Benz did a world tour with three of its Mercedes-Benz F-Cell vehicles, one of which was the B-Class. The hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle was driven more than 30,000 kilometres in a circumnavigation of the globe, starting and ending in Stuttgart.[9]

Engines

The B160 and B180 conform to Euro V emission standards. The rest of the engines conform to Euro IV emission standards. A diesel particulate filter is available as an option for the diesel units (this reduces about 99% of the particle emissions, without the need for additives).

The second generation B-Class was introduced at the 2011 International Motor Show Germany.[11] European models went on sale in November 2011. Japan models went on sale in April 2012. They are assembled at Rastatt, Germany,[12] and from 2011 at Kecskemét, Hungary.[13] By summer 2013, over 230,000 second generation B-Class cars had been delivered.[14]

It included new gasoline and diesel engines, mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.[15] Drag coefficient was lowered, despite growing in overall dimensions to the benefit of interior space. A new four-cylinder engine was introduced with the model, the M270.[16]

Safety systems included adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist and, a collision prevention adaptive brake system.[17]

The vehicle received a facelift in 2015.[18]

Variants and nomenclature

The last part of the model name indicates how the vehicle is powered:[19]

• Natural Gas Drive: c, e.g. B 200 c (for compressed natural gas)
• Diesel: d, e.g. B 250 d
• Electric: e, e.g. B 250 e
• Fuel cell f, e.g. B 200 f
• All-wheel drive: i.e. B 250 4MATIC

BlueEFFICIENCY

BlueEFFICIENCY is a term used by Mercedes-Benz for a series of measures which reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. These include:[20]

• Start/stop function switches off the engine temporarily when the vehicle is stationary.
• Alternator management for regenerative braking.
• Tyres optimised for rolling resistance have low energy requirements while driving and also help to reduce fuel consumption.

The B 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Edition was available from September 2011.[21]

B 200 Natural Gas Drive

Production version includes a choice of manual and 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission, and was available from early 2013.[22] European model was set to go on sale in February 2014.[3]

B-Class Electric Drive

Initial concept versions of the B-Class Electric Drive were developed under the Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO project using batteries from Li-tec and a drivetrain from Tesla, but Mercedes switched to using a drivetrain developed by Mercedes itself soon after.[23][24] The Electric Drive was previewed at the 2012 Paris Motor Show,[25] the 2013 New York International Auto Show,[26] and the 2013 IAA International Motor Show 2013.[14] Production for retail customers began in April 2014 at Mercedes-Benz Rastatt factory.[27] In May 2014, Mercedes announced the B-Class Electric Drive will be available in Germany and the UK in the first quarter of 2015.[28] In November, Mercedes-Benz announced pricing for Germany and started accepting orders.

The concept has an electric motor rated 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp) and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft), 36 kWh lithium-ion battery from Tesla Motors. The vehicle has a driving range of 200 km (124 mi) with a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).[25] The battery can be charged at any standard domestic 230 V power outlet or 400 V rapid charging terminal.

Pricing in the U.S. starts at US$41,450 before any applicable tax credits and other government incentives.[29] In 2015, over 1900 electric B-class were sold in the US. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under its five-cycle testing, rated the 2014 B-Class Electric Drive with an all-electric range of 87 mi (140 km). The energy consumption was rated at 40 kWh/100 miles for combined city/highway driving, corresponding to a fuel economy of 84 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent – MPGe (2.8 L/100 km; 101 mpg _imp). The rating for city driving is 85 mpg-e (2.8 L/100 km; 102 mpg _imp), and 83 mpg-e (2.8 L/100 km; 100 mpg _imp) for highway.[30]

The third generation B-Class was launched at the Paris Motor Show on 2 October 2018. At launch, the vehicle was claimed to feature the Intelligent Drive semi-automated driving system borrowed from the S-Class.[33]

The vehicle received a facelift in 2023.[34]

The design was improved with a much shorter front overhang. The controversial sculpting on the side part of the vehicle was not carried over to the W247 B-Class. Three infotainment system options is available, with entry-level models getting dual seven-inch displays. A seven-inch display with the larger 10.25-inch display is available, with top-tier models getting a pair of the large displays. It is powered by a full MBUX infotainment system, giving B-Class buyers access to its functions through a standard touchscreen. Features such as intelligent voice control, augmented reality, and a head-up display are optional.[33] The all-electric configuration was removed, but a plug-in hybrid option was introduced. The plug-in hybrid comes with a 10.9 kWh battery which optionally supports DC charging and provides a WLTP combined cycle range of 66 km.[35]
