Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 facelift is a subcompact minivan in production from 2014 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.1 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, nothing of note has really changed. Mercedes understood well that customers of this class of vehicles know nothing about drivetrain, chassis, or suspension. Hence, Mercedes slapped on a new bumper, added some outdated "tech" and called it a day.

Still, Mercedes-Benz has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
