The Mercedes-Benz B-Class seems a car for many tastes - a hatchback with almost van-like space.
First launched in 2005, the Compact Sports Tourer has been a success, thanks to its build safety and smoothness of its front-wheel-drive ride.
The latest B-Class is more agile and efficient, and with lots of updates.
'No model change in the history of Mercedes-Benz has ever seen so many new developments introduced in one fell swoop,' says Reiner Hoeps, chief operating officer of Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong.
The bodywork now has a width-emphasising design with a new spotlight element in the headlamps and is almost five centimetres lower in height, at 1.557 metres.
The seat has also been lowered by 86mm in order to ease boarding, 'while maintaining a clear overview of the vehicle's contours', Mercedes-Benz says, but the model's headroom in the front has been improved to make the B-Class 'the most spacious car in its segment in this discipline', the marque adds.
