2012 Mercedes B-Class leaked
A-Class XL
The Frankfurt leaks continue as a new image of the 2012 Mercedes B-Class has hit the web.
Borrowing several design cues from the BlueZero Concept, the production model has improved styling which should help to increase its appeal. Furthermore, the B-Class grows to measure 4359mm long, 1786mm wide and 1557mm tall.
At launch, engine options will include:
- 1.6-liter petrol with 122 PS (90 kW / 121 hp) and 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) of torque.
- 1.6-liter petrol with 156 PS (115 kW / 154 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque.
- 1.8-liter diesel with 109 PS (80 kW / 107 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque.
- 1.8-liter diesel with 136 PS (100 kW / 134 hp) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque.
Official details are expected to be released any day now.

I think this is a good looking car, best looking in its class, and 100x better than the previous model

Good, it will be great if they include the new diesel engine found in the new SLK250 which we saw last week

It will be very hard to make any car of this type look good. Its a lot better than the previous model and the interior gets a big upgrade not bad at all. Which is hard to achieve for anything in its class. If its not good then name something better than it, I cant think of anything.

There's a VERY good chance we'll see the new B-class in the US market, especially with the increasingly tight fuel economy requirements.
Remember that 1.8-liter I-4 that produces 201 bhp in turbocharged form on the US-market 2012 C250 sedan? It's possible a non-turbocharged version of that engine--rated at around 140-150 bhp--could be used on the US-market B-series.

It looks better then the last model but i think you can make a good looking car in this category...Ford B-CLASS.

First the incredibly ugly R-Class, and to compliment it, this hideous little runt of a car, MPV, whatever. Dr. Z and his crew are definitley smoking some Stutgart spliff. Once again, Mercedes are abandoning their exclusivity with silly cars like these!

This has lots more room than an A3 or Golf. The A Class will compete with those cars. The B Class is larger
