Mercedes-Benz B-Class will soon get a midlife update in order to compete with the all-new BMW 2-Series Active Tourer, with both of them being the only models in the premium compact MPV segment. A new lightly camouflaged prototype was caught by our spy photographers in Germany, following the spy debut a few months ago.
In terms of design, the third generation of the B-Class which was introduced in 2019, remains quite fresh and is considered a handsome vehicle for the segment. In typical Mercedes fashion, the facelift will bring minor changes. The camouflage is covering the slightly redesigned front bumper including the grille which will get a modern makeover.
The headlights will gain updated LED graphics, with a similar yet more subtle treatment for the taillights. Inside the cabin, the MPV is expected to get updated MBUX software for the dual 10.25-inch screens, alongside revised trim and upholstery options.
The facelifted B-Class will debut soon after the facelifted A-Class with both models receiving similar updates. Powertrain options will likely be carried over with small updates, including the 1.3-liter petrol and the 2.0-liter diesel which might get mild-hybrid tech, alongside the flagship B250e plug-in hybrid. Mercedes has confirmed that it will stop offering a manual transmission as an option by 2023, which means that the updated family of compact models will go auto-only like the rest of the lineup.
Mercedes recently announced its future strategy that is focused on high-end models, with the compact range set to be reduced from seven to four body styles. The B-Class is one of the first models to go, since the popularity of MPVs has been steadily declining, and its role can be fulfilled by LCV-derived models like the Citan / T-Class and the upcoming EQT. This means that the facelifted B-Class might be the last of its kind, extending the life of the model for a few more years.
We will learn more about the B-Class in the official debut that is expected in late 2022 or early 2023.

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
