The new B-Class has what it takes to be your second home
The seats for the B-Class boast high levels of seating comfort for the front and rear occupants, offering a generous amount of space for their legs and shoulders. The driver’s seat is height-adjustable as standard, for optimum adaptation to body size. The modern interior with the high-quality appeal of its materials sports a uniform look in ARTICO or fine leather all over.

The backrest curvature can be individually adjusted to meet the needs of the driver, promoting an ergonomic seating position. Two air cushions are integrated in the backrests. Via two control valves they can be inflated or deflated as required, facilitating individually tailored support for the lumbar spine. The height of the air cushions is also adjustable.
| |
The driver’s seat can be continuously electrically adjusted. The Memory package can store three individual settings for the position of the driver’s seat, head restraint and exterior mirrors. With this feature all the seat and backrest settings, the head-restraint height and exterior-mirror position on the driver’s and front-passenger side can be called up at all times at just one push of a button, and the front-passenger mirror automatically lowers when reverse gear is engaged.

This also comprises height adjustment for the front passenger seat plus seat cushion inclination adjustment for both front seats. Numerous possibilities for ergonomic individualisation and adjustment to the preferred seat position equal yet more seating comfort – above all on longer journeys. The seats with the Seat Comfort package are also characterised by a special seat cushion design.

If required the rear seat backrests can be folded in a ratio of 1/3 : 2/3, giving a stowage compartment of up to 1545 litres with a 1.57-metre-long, virtually flat load compartment area. When using the B-Class as a 5-seater the load compartment capacity is 486 litres. These functions are rounded off by other practical features: a load compartment cover plus bag hooks and four load retainers for securing luggage.

With its standard equipment the rear compartment impresses with the generous amount of legroom it offers. As part of the standard specification the rear seats come with three head restraints, ISOFIX child seat attachments with TopTether securing points are fitted to the backrests of the outer seats.

The vision of accident-free driving impels us. With our integral safety concept we are coming closer to achieving this goal – this is a holistic approach
which can increase safety in every situation.
As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz feels a special responsibility for road safety. This is why we are the first manufacturer to have developed an integral safety concept employing a seamless combination of active and passive safety measures to provide comprehensive protection. This integral approach is divided into four phases and offers safety solutions for every situation. These include systems for safe driving which can help the driver avoid hazards by providing a timely warning and assistance.
Our unique PRE-SAFE® system is activated in the event of danger and triggers preventive measures to protect the occupants. If, despite these measures, an accident does occur, other technologies provide the appropriate degree of protection. We have also considered the time immediately after an accident and have developed solutions which can help to prevent consequential damage and enable fast assistance. A selection of these technologies for the “Safe driving”, “In an accident” and “After an accident” phases is presented on the pages which follow. Safe driving
The majority of accidents start long before the actual collision: with a lapse in concentration, poor visibility or hazards which cannot be anticipated. That's why the Mercedes-Benz safety concept employs a range of measures to support safe driving in everyday operation and to help you bring critical situations under control.
