New 2nd Generation Mercedes B Class

[Yamapi]

 

new b class comes with comand online!

[Murakami]

Guess what folks, I did see the new bclass on the road last thursday. It is marked B180. I saw it near kaki bukit vicom inspection place. I guess they must be taking it for inspection and be ready for our roads.

 

It looks really nice!

[Proton_neutron]

Yup. Only one PI have display unit. Haha.

 

Really a practical car for family!!! And while the last gen looked like a shrunken Vito Van, this new one looks more like a car =D

 

The interior is also really nicely built, back to Mercedes' top build quality standards.

C&C only brings in B200. Prices are indeed more competitive.

 

For Chrome model: S$160,888/-

For Sports model: S$170,888/-

 

But for C&C, the chrome only comes with 16" rims while the Sport with 17". But they have rear air-con vent :) hahaha

 

Already booked one...

how's the drive?

 

the previous B turbo drive was puke-inducing...

[Stooky]

is the new B available for test drive at C&C already?

[Silaspng]

Car have not arrived at C&C so no test drive available. But they already started to take bookings. With 156bhp, I will assume it provides decent drive. Read numerous reviews and mostly positives but there are some that says the sports model gives a stiffer/bumpier ride and the light steering lack some feel. But for me, its more of a family car so I suppose the negatives will not affect much, hence decided to give it a go.

 

The sales person told me rear aircon vent, though an optional item, is included as standard fittings for the cars that C&C brings in.

 

C&C launch will be around Jun/Jul. Car collection in Jul/Aug.

White, black, red, silver, grey, blue, beige

Hi, $160,888 is the nett price? No overtrade on used car or service credits?

Some complain about sluggish performance during moving off from stationary.

Can advise on that since you are driving one?

[Jerlau]

Hi all,

 

Sorry for the confusion. I am actually driving the current b180.

 

The new one is not out yet from c&c. I heard it's around July. So should be soon.

 

Based on reviews I think the b class will be more interesting than the new c180 1.6 TC.

 

Somemore at a lower price.

[Yaloryalor]

Very nice!!

 

Would be one of my choice for next car.
