Interior and Exterior Design

Mercedes has reacted well to the feedback over the quality of its cars and the 2011 Mercedes B-Class in Montreal is about as good as it gets in this class. The cabin is smart and well constructed, while the bodywork has had similar attention. The end result is the car being rated as the best MPV in the 2010 JD Power customer satisfaction survey.

The B-Class has lots of rear legroom and, unusually, there’s decent shoulder room for three adults in the back, too. The boot is big with the seats up and they fold easily to create a huge loadbay.

Given the shape and amount of glass in the B-Class, this is one quiet car. It’s particularly hushed on the motorway, with only a touch of wind and road noise, and all is quiet at lower speeds around town.

All models get alloy wheels, air-conditioning and a great audio system. Options include satellite-navigation, parking assist, swivelling headlights and a full-length sunroof.

Performance

The 2011 Mercedes B-Class in Montreal has the choice of two petrols with either 1.5 or 1.7 litres or two two-litre diesels with 109 (B180 CDi) or 140bhp (B200 CDi). The 1.7-litre petrol is a great engine, but the B200 CDi feels impressively modern in performance, economy and emissions. It’s effective in the mid-ranges and the outright performance gap on the road is less than the power suggests.

Safety

Being a family-oriented car, Mercedes has made much of the B-Class’s safety features. The ‘sandwich floor’ pays dividends in a front-end crash – the engine slides underneath the passengers. Six airbags are fitted as standard, as are electronic anti-skid systems, active head restraints and clever seatbelts.

A multi-adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel make it easy to feel comfortable behind the wheel, and all controls are conveniently sited. Visibility is good.
