The car you see above is the C30 Saloon from Beijing Auto, the same company that bought the previous generation Saab 9-5 platform. This is also the same company that tried and failed to buy GM Europe (Opel, Vauxhall).
They currently have JV operations in China with Mercedes-Benz, which probably explains why they decided to make a car that looks like a B-Class. Of course with the Chinese market preferring sedans rather than hatchbacks (many hatchbacks have been turned into notchbacks for China), it’s understandable why they decided to make their B-Class knock-off a notchback sedan as well!
