The exterior of the New B-Class is described to be "More practical than ever, more chic than ever," with the long wheelbase (2729 mm) with short overhangs, slightly lowered roof line and larger, 16- to 19-inch wheels making for dynamic proportions. The relatively squat, progressive front end with flowing transition from bonnet to A-pillar and on to the windscreen, along with the muscular shoulder of the body, underlines the sporty over- all look. The same is true of the new low- profile headlamps, the inside of which is already high-grade, detailed and precisely designed on the basic model with H7 headlamps and LED daytime running lights. The optional MULTI- BEAM LED headlamps have an es- pecially sporty look. They allow fast, electronically controlled adjustment of the headlamps to suit the current traffic conditions. This feature pro- duces striking looks and added safety also in the new B-Class. Looking at the back, the width of the vehicle has been accentuated by two- part lamps, reflectors integrated in the bumper and a distinctive black bumper bottom section with diffuser look and chrome trim strip. The large roof spoil- er, along with high-gloss black spoilers at the sides of the rear window, makes for improved aerodynamics while en- suring a sporty appearance. The interior of the B-Class is as avant-garde: with a single basic vol- ume, which drops away towards the occupants and has "cutouts" in the area of the driver and front passen- ger. The free-standing centre display unit, is now offered in three different versions. The five air vents feature a high-grade turbine look with finely styled air ducts, inspired by the world of aviation. The ambience lighting with 64 colours and ten colour worlds, allows individual customisation. The seats offer a flatter and more comfort- able seating position as well as a larger adjustment range, which also increas- es the maximum headroom within the B Class. The New B-Class proudly features the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Ex- perience) multimedia system, which ushered in a new era with Mercedes me Connectivity. Its ability to learn thanks to Artificial Intelligence makes the system unique. It creates an emo- tional link between vehicle, driver and passengers. Its other strengths include touch screen control as standard as well as, depending on equipment, a high-resolution widescreen cockpit, navigation display with Augmented Reality technology plus intelligent voice control with natural speech rec- ognition. The touch screen is part of the integrated MBUX touch control concept – a trio consisting of touch screen, touchpad on the centre con- sole (optional) and touch controls on the steering wheel. The new B-Class comes with driving assistance systems with cooperative driver support, thus providing one of the highest levels of active safety. For the first time, the B-Class is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain situations. To do so, it employs im- proved camera and radar systems to anticipate the traffic up to 500 metres ahead while using map and navigation data for assistance functions.
