Since the original A Class was converted to a saloon, this is the only reasonably-priced hatchback available from an up- market manufacturer. It is spacious, easy to drive, very well equipped (make sure that you get the SE version), available with a wide range of extras and very reasonably priced, especially on the second-hand market. The rear seats fold flat to give a huge carrying capacity, comparable to a large estate. The fuel consumption is very reasonable for a car of this size. The performance is not startling, even in the AMG version, but it handles well and makes an ideal family car.

Lovely little car to drive, plenty of space, quiet and with the refinements you would expect from Mercedes Benz. Performance is good, and this is not a slow car at all. Fuel economy at motorway speeds (70mph) is incredible. Expect 70-75mph depending on how you drive. Gearbox and engine are quiet and responsive. The different driving modes (economy, comfort, sport and individual) mean you can always find a driving mode that does what you need. Im a little disappointed it does not have heated seats and parking sensors at this price point (we will be adding both), but it does have a reversing camera which mitigates things to some degree.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class (2018-Present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Roomy and practical interior | No longer a plug-in hybrid version |
| Model line-up keeps it simple | Not very exciting to drive |
| Comfortable ride | Looks plain on the outside |
Quick Summary
The Mercedes-Benz B-Class (W247) is a five-seat premium MPV that launched in 2018 to positive reviews. It combines high-tech driver aids, the impressive MBUX infotainment system, and efficient engines meeting RDE2 emissions standards. The third-generation B-Class is considerably longer and wider than its A-Class sibling, offering substantial rear-seat legroom and headroom. With 455 litres of boot space (expandable to 1,530 litres with rear seats folded), or up to 705 litres with the rear bench slid forward, it provides excellent practicality for families. The cabin features soft-touch materials and a premium feel, dominated by pin-sharp twin-screen MBUX displays.
From behind the wheel, the B-Class prioritises comfort over excitement, with a smooth ride and quiet motorway cruising. The current line-up offers a choice between the B200 mild-hybrid petrol (161bhp, 8.4 seconds 0-62mph) and the B200d diesel (148bhp, 8.5 seconds 0-62mph). Both feature seven or eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. Running costs are competitive, with the diesel achieving 51.4-55.4mpg on longer journeys and the petrol delivering 44.1-47.1mpg. Four trim levels are available: Sport Executive, AMG Line Executive, AMG Line Premium, and AMG Line Premium Plus, all featuring comprehensive standard equipment including MBUX, keyless entry, cruise control, and advanced safety features.
Best for: Families seeking an upmarket, practical car that values understatement and comfort, those requiring spacious rear seating and flexible boot space, and buyers preferring a premium MPV to a small SUV.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising exciting handling or dynamic driving characteristics, those seeking a plug-in hybrid option, or buyers wanting distinctive exterior styling.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz B-Class | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 39.5% | 4.3/5 |
| BMW 2 Series Active Tourer | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 36.7% | 4.4/5 |
| Volkswagen Golf SV | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 36.8% | 4.5/5 |
| Ford C-Max | 4/5 | 4.4/5 | 42.1% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the B-Class if: You're seeking an upmarket, practical family car that values comfort and understatement, require spacious rear seating and flexible boot space, or prefer a premium MPV to a small SUV.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise exciting handling, require a plug-in hybrid option, or want distinctive exterior styling.
Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz B-Class (2018-Present) is a strong premium MPV choice, offering excellent practicality, comfort, and a high-quality interior. Whilst the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer edges ahead on user ratings and the Volkswagen Golf SV offers slightly better value, the B-Class delivers a more upmarket feel and superior rear-seat space. The Ford C-Max provides better value for money, but lacks the premium ambience and technology of the Mercedes. For buyers prioritising comfort, practicality, and premium quality over driving excitement, the B-Class represents an intelligent choice in the MPV segment.
