Mercedes-Benz will formally unveil the third-generation W247 B-Class at this year’s Paris Motor Show, and has released this teaser of what to expect. The short video focuses quite a bit on the compact MPV’s interior, which has a lot in common with the new A-Class and A-Class Sedan.
The most obvious is the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) interface as evident by the dual widescreen displays. This setup is what you’ll find in the new A-Class models as well, and is controlled via vocal commands, steering wheel touch controls, or a touchpad on the centre console.
Other similarities include the design of the air-con vents at the front and the rear seats can be folded down following a 40:20:40 configuration like with the A-Class Sedan. In one of the shots, you’ll notice the dashboard differs a little in look when compared to its other compact siblings.
As for the exterior, a shot of the model’s darkened silhouette indicate a sleeker shape compared to the outgoing W246 model. Similarly, the hexagonal grille and headlamps are more angular, while the taillights appear to be smaller units with a C-shaped lighting signature.
When it goes on sale, the new B-Class will compete against the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, which was given a facelift earlier this year. More information about the B-Class will be revealed when the car debuts in Paris soon.

B45 AMG, a good family man needed most.
Looks like a Myvi with Mercedes Badge, seriously most people buy B-Class for the badge…see a lot of aunty driving 2nd hand/recond b-class…might as well get A-Class, at least has style.
This will look a whole lot better than BMW’s option.
Anything is better than BMW. Mercedes is HALF the maintenance bill of BMW. Ask anyone who owns both brands.
not true. owned a CBU w202, thought i would get an improved version of the legendary 190E. it was awful to own. in comparison a CBU e36 was relatively trouble free.
Myvi is wayyyy better than your car
Not true. Owned w201 and e90. The Bmw is cheaper to maintain. Your experience may vary though.
Nissan Serena a whole lot more reliable though.
Hope no clown or PRoton fanboy come here and say why buy this Mercedes when you can buy a Geely?
According to fanboys, Geely use Mercedes technology and better than AMG
According to basher logic you are fake notakata
Mesidis, Geely > all
Mesidis, Geely, P1, VolvoCar, VolvoTrucks, Lotus > all
