MERCEDES BENZ B CLASS new launch
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><font size="5" color="#009900">MERCEDES BENZ B CLASS</font></span><br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Interiors<br><br></span><div style="text-align: justify;">While the exterior is funky, the interior is traditional Mercedes and by saying that we mean spacious and dripping with quality. We like the design of the interiors which have a dash of spice in form of the three circular vents which look cool and the sporty three-spoke steering wheel looks just right. Elsewhere the dash has a set of logically laid out buttons. What gets your attention the most though is the screen which sits above the three vents and resembles curiously like an i-Pad.<br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The menus on the screen are operated using the controller in the center console. Thanks to its clever packaging the B-Class has more space than its rivals and it is the spacious and practical interiors that add a crucial layer of desirability to the B-Class. Thanks to the fact that it’s lower than its predecessor, ingress and egress is easy which is important and will be a boon for many. There is a generous amount of headroom and legroom both at the front and at the rear which is important and wins it some brownie points. The 87 mm of knee clearance in the rear compartment even beats both the S-Class and the E-Class.<br></div><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Exterior</span><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;">The B-Class is not the Mercedes that we are used to seeing: it’s funky, compact and has a youthful zing to it. We like it. Mercedes calls it a ‘Sports Tourer’ and while it’s too cool to be a MPV, the B- Class proportions do look like a mini MPV. However do not let the pictures fool you as it is quite a big car and does have the aura of a traditional three-pointed star. Our favorite bit is the front with the dinner-plate sized three-pointed star sitting proudly in the centre and the headlamps extending along the sides at the front. The rear end has the traditional Mercedes tail-lamp design. As said earlier the B-Class with its dimensions (length/width/height: 4359/1786/1557 millimeters) does not look small at all. In fact thanks to its shape the B-Class attracts a lot of attention as we had found out during our drive and we even had an E-Class owner inquiring about it and saying he might buy one for his wife!<br></div><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Engine & performance</span><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;">The B180 Blue Efficiency is powered by a 1.6 liter in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine with 121 horsepower on tap. 200 Nm of torque is produced all the way from as low as 1250 rpm up to 4000 rpm. Harnessing the power is a 7G-DCT 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shift known for its quick and seamless shifts. Thanks to the tricked-out gearbox 100 km/h comes up in just over 10.2 seconds. The car has a top speed of 190 kph. The new diesel B-Class has a 107 BHP diesel engine which offers adequate performance.<br></div><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">PETROL VARIANTS</span><br>Mercedes benz B class B180 Sport , 1595 cc petrol , 14.81 kmpl Rs. 26,09,811<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">DIESEL VARIANTS</span><br>Mercedes benz B class B180 CDI , 2143 cc diesel , 18.98 kmpl Rs. 25,24,461<br><br> Petrol Diesel<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Dimension & Weights</span><br><br>Overall Length 4359mm 4359mm<br><br>Overall Width 1786mm 1786mm<br><br>Overall Height 1557mm 1557mm<br><br>Wheel Base 2699mm 2699mm<br><br>Ground Clearance 538mm 538mm<br><br>Boot Space 486Liters 486liters<br><br>Kerb Weight 1425Kg 1565kg<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Engine</span><br><br>Torque 200Nm @1250-4000rpm 250Nm@1400-2800rpm<br><br>Displacement 1595cc 2143cc<br><br>Power 122hp @5000rpm 108hp @3200-4400rpm<br><br>Valve Mechanism DOHC DOHC<br><br>No of Cylinders 4 4<br><br>Cylinder Configuration In line In line<br><br>Valves per Cylinder 4 4<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#009900">Steering</font></span><br><br>Minimum Turning Radius 5.5 m 5.5 m<br><br>Steering Type EPS EPS<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Capacity</span><br><br>Fuel Tank Capacity 50Liters 50Liters<br><br>Seating Capacity 5 5<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Fuel Efficienc</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">y</span><br><br>Mileage Highway 0 0<br><br>Mileage City 0 0<br><br>Mileage Overall 14.81kmpl 18.98kmpl<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Transmission</span><br><br>Transmission Type Automatic Automatic<br><br>Gears Speeds 7 7<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Suspension</span><br><br>Rear Suspension Torsion Beam Torsion Beam<br>Front Suspension McPherson strut McPherson strut<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Brakes</span><br><br>Rear Brakes Disc Disc<br><br>Front Brakes Disc Disc<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Wheels & Tyres</span><br><br>Tyres 225/45 R 17 205/55 R 16<br><br>Wheel Size 17inch 16 inch<br><br>Wheel Type Alloy Alloy<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Safety</span><br><br>ABS, EBD, Airbags, Child safety lock, Immobilizer, Traction control, Hill control, ESP, Central locking <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Interior</span><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Steering , Tilt Steering , Power windows, Auto down for power windows, Anti-pinch for power, windows, Cup holders, Air-con, Rear A/c vents, Audio system, Keyless start-stop button, Electric mirrors, Electric foldable mirrors, Defogger, Tachometer, Leather seats, Arm rest, Reversing camera, Steering controls, Bluetooth connectivity, Driver info display, Cruise control, Foot rest, Remote boot release, Driver seat height adjust, Power Seats <br></div><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Exterior</span><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;">Keyless entry, Fog lights, Sunroof Front side, Rear wiper, Auto headlamps, Rain sensing wipers, Alloy wheels, Rear spoiler, Chrome grille, Projector lamps, Day time running lamps<br></div><br><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Colors</span><br><br>Jupiter red, Cirrus White, Polar silver metallic <br>
