The Mercedes-Benz B-Class facelift has arrived in Malaysia, as revealed by the full spec sheet (above) that’s taken from the brand’s official local website. As before, only the B 200 Sports Tourer variant is available, priced at RM218,888. The figure matches that of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s updated GST price list announced earlier.
Mechanically, the B-Class remains unchanged. A 1.6 litre turbocharged engine with 156 hp and 250 Nm of torque powers the front wheels, through the same 7G-DCT dual-clutch transmission as before. It can get to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds, on to a to speed of 200 km/h.
On the outside, our sole B 200 model is dressed in the new Urban design and equipment package. This includes a two-louvre grille, integrated exhaust finishers round the back and extra chrome highlights around the car. The sportier AMG Line – introduced on the B-Class for the first time – can’t be had here, unfortunately.
Among the standard-fit items are automatic LED headlights (though not the higher-end full-LED Intelligent Lighting System unit), 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with run-flat tyres (up from the outgoing 17s) and tyre pressure monitoring system. A comfort-biased suspension is fitted to Malaysian-bound models.
Inside, the updated B 200 gets a bigger centre display (8.0-inch compared to the old 5.7-inch screen), though it’s matched to the same Audio 20 multimedia system. New to the mix is a reverse camera function. Automatic climate control, heated and powered front seats with memory function, active parking assist, cruise control are all included.
Safety wise, seven airbags come standard, including a knee bag for the driver. Also fitted are Collision Prevention Assist and Attention Assist. So folks, would you get this or the new BMW 218i Active Tourer for the same price?

B class or 2series ? Please leave the answer below
Why need turbo for such a small car? My Avanza can accommodate 7 people comfortably and can run with 1300cc. So Toyota still the best!
Avanza with 7 people inside is underpower
People in Myanmar use an EX5 to transport 7 people. EX5 doesn’t have a turbo as well.
Yeah if EX5 can transport 7 people then let’s transport 20 people in Avanza, all without turbo.
ROTFL
Don’t talk cock Sam Lorr. You sound like your mother. You should be driving a 1998 kancil. Can fit your whole family in it. Total cost to own today is 3K. You can fit all 7 idiots from your family in there. Including your mother.
I think every motorhead will be happy with the turbo, unless ur makcik ustazah who drive avanza
If you are young (35 or below) – 2 series
If you are Pak Cik tua – B class
If you are Same Lorrrr = wacoal
If you are undergarments promoter = Same Lorrrr
2 series is bulkier n taller, look more like suv.
While b200 looks like hatchback.
Front look i prefer b200, sleek and sportier . 2series..nah i hate those oversized nostril
For rear, b200 offer sleek n classy look while 2 series is more aggressive sporty look
Talk about coincidence! MBM matches the BMW in pricing but gives a slightly larger screen, front memory seats and a punchier engine. I think cruise control is not available in the 218i AT either.
Hahaha who going to buy this junk over Proton Iriz ?
Our Iriz have equity to BMW and volvo and it only cost less then 70k.
Ugley expensive Benz go back to German !!!
This joke is getting boring. Too much overused.
much better than bmw lousytourer
Why would anyone with a fully functioning mind would buy a 218i septictourer.
Hafriz, u forgot to mention the new steering wheel…the one with similar design to W205
I got Bentley alike steering wheel at Kedai Abeng for my Myvi.

Ugliest MPV on earth.
at least better than avanza/exora lorr
BMW 2 series is underpower, even Kancil 660cc can tarpau it
I can tapau your mom too
What? Your avanza much better than merc? Iriz? Hello stupidos, people who buy the benz and bmw with that 200k tag are rich people who only thinks about the standard n lifestyle. They dont give a damn if your avanza n iriz or even your alza or exora can fit 20 people at a time. Its all about class n lifestyle.
