We’ve already seen the interior pics of the new Mercedes B-Class, but could this be the first official look at the new exterior? The model is the main highlight expected from Mercedes at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and if this is an official shot, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more from the company before the event starts in September.
The new B-Class compact MPV should be 4.36 metres long, 1.79 m wide and 1.56 m tall which will make it longer and shorter than the outgoing model. The look changes slightly and we should see sportier, more sculpted sides as part of Mercedes’ new design path, and on the technical front a new 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine will debut in two powersteps of 122 and 156 hp, and there will also be a new 1.8-litre diesel engine with 109 and 136 hp.
The new B-Class should prove quite technological with the 7G-DCT seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and start&stop. Mercedes’ new front-wheel drive architecture will debut, which is destined for use on the future Mercedes A-Class, CLC and CLK. The Mercedes B-Class is expected to have its market debut early 2012.
