Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the B-Class is big on looks and practicality. The exceptional character of its underlying concept is reflected in its striking design. The transition from the bonnet to the wide radiator grille takes the form of a dynamic wedge with large air intakes in the bumpers and flared wheel arches underlining the sporty design idiom. Larger exterior mirrors improve visibility and are finished in the vehicle colour as standard.

The B-Class also makes an attractive impression when viewed from behind, the redesigned rear bumper being a particularly striking feature. The shorter aerial integrates perfectly into the sporty design of the B-Class.

A look at the purposeful front of the B-Class tells you plenty about its personality. The three large louvres of the new radiator grille now have sporty and elegant chrome trim elements. If you choose the optional exterior chrome package or the sports package, the radiator grille is painted in attractive matt brilliant silver instead of the standard atlas grey. Large, distinctive air intakes and a harmonious transition from the bonnet to the bumper cladding are further signature elements of the recent design update. The optional fog lamps now have an even more stylish look thanks to their chrome surrounds. With the sports package, the chrome surrounds are complemented by a horizontal fin with a chromed edge. As well as looking extremely cool, the B-Class can provide a particularly refreshing travelling environment for its occupants thanks to the optional panoramic louvred sunroof whose transparent panels can be opened at the touch of a button.
