The compact vehicle range of Mercedes-Benz will soon welcome a new member, the Mercedes Class B. The new generation of this mid-size MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) will be unveiled next week at the Paris Motor Show. The new Class B will compete with models such as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer.

The third generation of the Mercedes Class B will be based on the same fundamentals as the new Class A. It promises a more spacious interior, cleaner and more efficient engines and cutting-edge technology; according to the German manufacturer, it will share some systems with the Class S.

MBUX infotainment system

One of the highlights of the new Class B will be the incorporation of the revolutionary MBUX infotainment system. This system features a dual screen that combines the digital instrument cluster with the infotainment system. As in the Mercedes-Benz Class, the MBUX system will be available in different screen sizes, and it is most likely to be offered as standard across the entire range.
