The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2008-12) B170 5DR MPV 1.7 BLUEEFFICIENCY 116 SPORT is a compact, five-door family MPV: taller and more spacious than a conventional hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. In the UK used-car market, it offers a premium-badged alternative to practical family cars such as the Ford C-MAX and Vauxhall Zafira. The 1.7-litre petrol engine delivers 116bhp, while the Sport trim gives this B-Class a smart, well-equipped feel. Its upright design makes getting in and out straightforward, and the flexible cabin suits school runs, shopping and regular commuting. It is best for couples or small families wanting comfort, useful space and a more refined feel than many mainstream compact MPVs.
