2011 Mercedes-Benz B-Class spy pics
Here are the first ever shots of the all-new Mercedes B-class, expected to hit showrooms in the third-quarter of 2011.
It’s the car that fans of the current model won’t like: the new car will discontinue today’s B-class’ overall layout of a super-mini MPV in favour of a more hatchback-like design. Much more than a Sports-Tourer, the new car will be a Golf beater and a car Wolfsburg will have to fear.
With its lower profile and sportier appearance, the new B-class is hoped to attract younger buyers rather than the middle-ager and the generation 60+ the current model is bought by.
Little is known yet about the range of petrol and diesel engines to expect, but we are pretty sure a hybrid and a fuel-cell variant will be on offer right from the start – it’s time for Mercedes to come up with something greener than Blue Efficiency after all…
