Different generations of used Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Third Generation (2019 to 2011)
The B-Class continued impressing with its swept-back headlights and a centre grille choice of either a 3D mesh or two-slat design. Even though it's a smaller vehicle, the unique design helps to give it the same stance as an MPV while remaining sporty. An EV option was also released, ensuring that Mercedes-Benz kept moving in the direction of electrification.
For 2022, a refreshed version hit the roads with a new headlight design and optional LEDs. The cabin looked mostly the same except for the available flat-bottom steering wheel and a larger infotainment system.

Second Generation (2012 to 2019)
The main changes to the second generation vehicles took place inside the cabin. A new floating design was released for the infotainment system, which gave it a new appeal. Some of the interior materials were also upgraded to ensure that it had an upmarket feel.
A refreshed version arrived in 2014, meaning that the MPV met the latest emissions standards. Exterior changes included a new bumper with a wider cooling area and LED daytime running lights. A new AMG Line trim level added a sportier bumper with a piano black grille.

First Generation (2005 to 2011)
Mercedes-Benz saw a need for an MPV to replace the A-Class when that model turned into a smaller hatchback. With some of the same architecture as the A-Class, the B-Class was designed to be taller, creating a more spacious interior. A long wheelbase also made room for five people to fit comfortably.
In 2008, it was time for a minor refresh that included a grille with thicker grey slats and a redesigned bumper. New taillights were added to the rear with smaller reverse lights. Mercedes-Benz also released an updated infotainment system that changed the look of the centre stack.

Used Mercedes-Benz B-Class FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Mercedes-Benz B-Class?
The diesel engines have been among the most popular, either because of their efficiency or because the 220 D was the most powerful available. There wasn't as much interest in the electric model as there was in the petrol or diesel options.
Which are the most popular trim levels?
Over the years, several different trim levels have been offered, with Mercedes-Benz currently providing these options: Sport Executive, AMG Line Executive, AMG Line Premium and the AMG Line Premium Plus. The AMG Line has been the most popular choice with its unique styling, while the Sport models come in second place.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Mercedes-Benz has allowed for customisation with many different wheel designs, so it's good to look for the varied options. There's also a special AMG styling kit that allows for a head-turning look. Optional interior features include aluminium sill plates, carbon-fibre trim and red contrast stitching.
Is the Mercedes-Benz B-Class a good family car?
Yes, Mercedes-Benz created the B-Class to accommodate passengers with more space than the popular A-Class. There's enough room to hold four adults comfortably, with a rear middle seat that also holds a child. There's also a large amount of boot space.
Is there a hybrid version of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class?
Yes, look out for models badged as the B 250 e. It's a plug-in hybrid that's capable of 42 miles of pure electric range before switching to petrol/electric hybrid power.
Is the Mercedes-Benz B-Class available as an automatic?
The Mercedes-Benz B-Class has been available with both an automatic and manual gearbox. Overall, automatic transmissions seem to be the most popular, but a better deal may be available by choosing a manual.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
For the most part, the B-Class was built with a front-wheel drive platform. However, there was a B 220 D configuration built that had the most powerful diesel engine and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. These models can be more difficult to find on the used market.
