最近谍照记者拍到了2019款奔驰B级车照片，这次该车的伪装比以前少了一些。这辆测试车从前到后仍进行了伪装，但能看出更细节。这次可以确定的说，这辆B级车不仅是加高了的A级车。它的前脸并不像A级车那么尖，该车配备的卤族大灯采用了与A级车大灯不同的形状。预计量产版将提供与A级车一样的LED大灯，但这需要额外加钱。从车身侧面轮廓看，车顶进一步抬高，侧窗面积更大，视野更好，这也意味着该车的车厢内采光更优异。虽然在后窗后面并没有看到固定玻璃，但可以确认这绝对是有的，只不过被伪装遮住了。车尾可以看到尾门比A级车更宽大，这样更便于存取物品。该车的尾灯组似乎是专门为B级车设计的，与圆润的车身搭配得更好。这次没有拍到内装照片，但可以想象，该车仪表板将取自A级车，这一点毫不奇怪。奔驰未来的紧凑车型基本上都会采用这样的仪表板，包括未来的A级轿车和GLB级车型。该车引擎，变速箱和其他技术都取自A级掀背车。当然，B级车不太可能推出“B35”和“B45”这样的车型。至于新车发布时间，预计将于明年初发布。
2019 Mercedes B-Class Caught Up Close With Slightly Less Camo
It’s easy to understand why the B-Class gets probably the least attention among all of Mercedes’ models. With more and more people infatuated with crossovers and SUVs, minivans are regarded as being bland, if not downright boring. But even though the appetite for high-riding models keeps growing, there’s still a segment of the market looking to buy a small people mover. This is the reason why BMW is selling the 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer, while Mercedes is working on a new B-Class.
Our spies had a tête-à-tête with a prototype of Daimler’s new minivan and this time around it had slightly less camouflage. The test vehicle was still disguised from front to rear, but we’re able to make out some of the details and can safely say the B-Class will be more than just a tall A-Class. The front fascia is not as sharp as the hatchback’s and we can observe those halogen headlights have a different shape than those of the A-Class. Expect the production-ready car to be offered with the same LED tech as the hatch, but you’ll have to pay extra for that.
Looking at the side profile, the raised roof will have a positive impact on the greenhouse as the windows are visibly bigger and that means a lot of light will enter the cabin to make the interior seem roomier. We’re not seeing the fixed glass area aft the rear doors, but we’re almost sure it’s there, hiding behind the swirly camouflage.
Moving at the back, the tailgate appears to be much wider than that of the A-Class, which will make loading and unloading cargo a lot easier. We can only catch a glimpse of the taillights, but chances are these will be unique to the B-Class in order to better suit its more rounded overall appearance.
Clear shots of the interior are not available in the adjacent set, yet in some of the images we can clearly see the dashboard design will be largely inherited from the A-Class, which is hardly surprising. Basically all future compact models from Mercedes will have this dash, including the upcoming A-Class Sedan and the GLB.
Engines, gearboxes, and technologies of the B-Class are going to be sourced from the hatchback. Of course, it’s highly unlikely the minivan will spawn “B35” and “B45” hot derivatives, though never say never considering Mercedes once sold an R63 AMG minivan.
As to when we’ll get to see the new B without the camo, we’re leaning towards an early 2019 reveal.
