THE NEW B-CLASS INDIA'S FIRST SPORTS TOURER




Mercedes-Benz B-Class: interior comfort

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.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class: environment

Environmentally compatible concepts

The B-Class’s holistic approach combines agility and dynamism with leading-edge efficiency technologies as well as innovative packages of measures aimed at optimising both fuel consumption and emissions.
Every B-Class delivered is a BlueEFFICIENCY model. What’s more, the International
Environmental Certificate “Design for Environment” (ISO/TR 14062) attests to its high environmental compatibility, from production and usage right through to end-of-life disposal.

BlueEFFICIENCY comprises a whole package of specific measures:
  • Ancillary components controlled to save energy
  • Adjustable radiator shutter (B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY) and controlled oil pump
  • Particularly efficient alternator
  • Engines with direct petrol injection; optimised diesel engines
  • Refrigerant compressor property
  • Optimised aerodynamics. (Cd value = 0.26)
  • ECO start/stop function
  • Current fuel consumption indicator
  • Tyres with reduced rolling resistance
  • Dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT

Audio 20 CD ensures that you have an entertaining journey. The Mercedes-Benz multimedia system boasts a display with TFT technology and a 14.7 cm diagonal. With its integral CD drive both MP3 and WMA/AAC files can be played. Audio 20 CD can be conveniently operated via the multifunction steering wheel and the Controller in the centre console, and it includes an integral telephone keypad, a Bluetooth® interface with a hands-free function and an Aux-in and USB socket in the stowage compartment on the centre console. This means that you can easily play music that you have saved on an MP3 player, smartphone or mobile data carrier, for instance. Six loudspeakers bring you pristine listening experiences perfectly tuned to the vehicle’s interior.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class: safety

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.

Safe driving

This innovative drowsiness detection system can be especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects typical signs of drowsiness or inattention. What lies behind this are sensors which analyse steering behaviour. and can detect deviations from a previously determined, individual driver profile.
A driving dynamics control system with a modular structure.

It offers additional safety and comfort functions alongside a base function such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS). It improves the vehicle’s performance with regard to traction, handling safety and operating comfort and helps the driver to master critical braking manoeuvres.

The “dry braking” function helps to remove the film of water from the brake discs – the brake’s response time and therefore the stopping distance can thus be reduced. “Priming” ensures that the brake pads are placed against the brake discs as soon as the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal quickly. The time gained shortens the response time of the brakes. When moving off on an incline unintended rolling back is prevented during the space of time when the foot is moving from the brake

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.

The seven airbags fitted as standard are part of the restraint systems which are decisive in helping to mitigate the consequences of accidents pedal to the accelerator. If you actuate the brake pedal a second time whilst the vehicle is stationary, the HOLD function keeps the vehicle at a standstill, even if you take your foot away from the brake pedal. 
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to prevent the vehicle from skidding
e.g. on slippery roads or when undertaking sudden changes of direction. By braking  specific individual wheels, ESP reduces the tendency to either over or understeer, thus improving driving.
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) enhances driving safety, especially when braking for hazards. During hard braking the anti-lock braking system reduces wheel lock-up by modulating the braking pressure of the individual wheels. The anti-lock braking system offers greater control over the vehicle in hazardous situations, e.g. during evasive manoeuvres or when braking on wet roads. It enables shorter braking distance, hence enhancing driving safety.
Hill Start Assist with Hold function makes it easier to move off on inclines. The brake pressure is maintained for approx. two seconds after the service brake is released. The Hill Start Assist with Hold function is automatically activated from approx. 4% inclines in forward and in reverse gear. Maintenance of the braking pressure facilitates hill starting since the driver can find the biting point without having to use the handbrake & prevents the car from rolling away.
The acceleration skid control (ASR) ensures that the wheels do not skid when accelerating. Especially when moving off on snow, ice and loose chippings, the acceleration skid control prevents individual wheels from spinning and the vehicle from breaking out to the side. The acceleration skid control (ASR) makes it easier to move off on snow, ice and loose chippings & reduces the vehicle's sideways breakout when moving off.
Brake Assist detects emergency braking situations based on the speed with which the brake pedal is pressed, and assists the driver by increasing the brake pressure.
The tyre pressure loss warning system detects a loss of pressure based on differences in the speed of the four road wheels, and warns the driver accordingly. The tyre pressure loss warning system helps to prevent irreparable tyre damage caused by driving with flat tyres.
