The '''Mercedes-Benz B-Class''' is a [[subcompact executive car]] manufactured and marketed by [[Mercedes-Benz]] since 2005. Based on the [[Mercedes-Benz A-Class|A-Class]] with larger dimensions, the European New Car Assessment Programme ([[Euro NCAP]]) classifies it as a [[Compact MPV|small MPV]].<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/mercedes-benz/b-class/10982|title=Official Mercedes Benz B Class 2011 safety rating results|website= Euroncap |access-date=2016-04-16}}</ref>

Mercedes-Benz had presented a concept car '''Vision B''' ''Compact Sports Tourer'' at the 2004 [[Paris Motor Show]]. The concept previewed some features that would be available on the production B-Class. The ''Vision B'' was based on the layered platform, so that the drivetrain would be placed partly in front of and underneath the passengers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com/marsClassic/en/instance/ko/245-series-B-Class-Sports-Tourer-2005---2008.xhtml?oid=453320|title=245 series B-Class Sports Tourer, 2005 - 2008|access-date=5 April 2024|website=mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com}}</ref>

The first-generation B-Class was introduced in Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world in early 2005, and in Canada in late 2005. It was marketed globally except in the United States, where it was unable to price match the vehicle for profit.<ref>{{Cite web |last=dave.thomas@weblogsinc.com |date=2005-03-08 |title=Mercedes pulls plans for U.S. B-Class |url=https://www.autoblog.com/features/mercedes-pulls-plans-for-u-s-b-class |access-date=2025-01-17 |website=Autoblog: Car News, Reviews and Buying Guides |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-05-31 |title=B-CLASS BENZ COULD HIT U.S. MARKET |url=https://www.sema.org/news-media/enews/2007/22/b-class-benz-could-hit-us-market |access-date=2025-01-17 |website=Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) |language=en}}</ref> The B-Class uses [[front-wheel drive]] with sandwich floor construction, parabolic rear suspension,<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/b-class-2005/?section=history|title=Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2005 - Car Review |website= Honest John |access-date=2016-04-16}}</ref> and a [[one-box design|two-box design]] &mdash; one for the [[drivetrain]] and another for the shared passenger and luggage compartment.

All models included  passive [[automobile safety]] systems including [[Electronic stability control|ESP]], [[Anti-lock braking system|ABS]], [[Traction control system|traction control]], cornering lights, active lighting system, and headlamp assist.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.autoevolution.com/cars/mercedes-benz-b-klasse-w245-2005.html|title=Mercedes Benz B-Klasse (W245) (2005 - 2008)|website= Autoevolution|access-date= 2016-04-16}}</ref> In the event of a frontal impact the engine and transmission slide beneath the passenger compartment.

In 2011, Mercedes-Benz did a world tour with three of its [[Mercedes-Benz F-Cell]] vehicles, one of which was the B-Class. The [[hydrogen]]-powered [[fuel cell vehicle]] was driven more than 30,000 kilometres in a circumnavigation of the globe, starting and ending in [[Stuttgart]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/03/mercedes-benz-f-cell-world-drive-successfully-completed/|title=Mercedes-Benz F-Cell World Drive successfully completed|author=((Autoblog Staff))|website=Autoblog|date=3 June 2011 |access-date=2016-04-16}}</ref>

=== Engines ===
The B160 and B180 conform to [[European emission standards|Euro V]] emission standards.  The rest of the engines conform to [[European emission standards|Euro IV]] emission standards.  A [[diesel particulate filter]] is available as an option for the diesel units (this reduces about 99% of the particle emissions, without the need for additives).

The W246 was revealed in August 2011,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://paultan.org/2011/08/26/all-new-mercedes-benz-b-class-officially-revealed/|title=All-new Mercedes-Benz B-Class officially revealed!|first=Danny|last=Tan|website=Paul Tan’s Automotive News|date=26 August 2011}}</ref> and made its public debut in September 2011 at the [[International Motor Show Germany#2011|2011 International Motor Show Germany]]. It was announced that the B-Class would come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, as well as an optional [[Mercedes-Benz 7G-Tronic transmission|7G-Tronic]] automatic. The [[start-stop system|start/stop]] technology was standard on all models.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.drive.com.au/news/2012-mercedes-benz-b-class-coming-to-australia-in-q2/|title= 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class coming to Australia in Q2|first=Tim|last=Beissmann|date=12 July 2011|website=Drive|access-date=30 September 2023}}</ref>

Mass production of the B-Class started in November 2011 at the [[Rastatt]] plant in Germany.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/25/mercedes-benz-b-class-revealed-ahead-of-frankfurt-but-is-it-c/|title= Mercedes-Benz B-Class revealed ahead of Frankfurt... but is it coming here?|first=Noah|last=Joesph|date=25 August 2011|website=www.autoblog.com}}</ref> Additionally, the B-Class was the first vehicle to use the MFA platform.

Safety features include seven to nine airbags, hill-start assist, [[driver drowsiness detection]], tyre pressure monitoring, [[Collision avoidance system|Pre-Safe]] system that will tighten seatbelts, and a system that will automatically close the windows and the sunroof if the systems detect an approaching accident. Other safety systems include [[anti-lock braking system|anti-lock braking]] (ABS), [[electronic stability control]] (ESC), and [[Emergency brake assist|brake assistant]] (BA).

The B-Class Electric Drive was introduced to the U.S. in December 2013 as an early 2014 model. It is one of the only B-Class models to ever be sold in the U.S. market, as well as being the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to ever be offered in an electric variant, though it was only available in certain states that required [[Zero-emissions vehicle|ZEV]] mandates. It was originally rebadged as the B-Class Electric Drive, but in 2017, it was renamed the B250e.

The third generation B-Class was launched at the [[2018 Paris Motor Show|Paris Motor Show]] on 2 October 2018. At launch, the vehicle was claimed to feature the Intelligent Drive semi-automated driving system borrowed from the [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class|S-Class]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/268096/mercedes-benz-b-class-autonomous-paris/|title=2019 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Brings Semi-Autonomous Tech To Paris|work=Motor1.com|access-date=2018-10-02|language=en}}</ref>

The design was improved with a much shorter front overhang. The controversial sculpting on the side part of the vehicle was not carried over to the W247 B-Class. Three infotainment system options is available, with entry-level models getting dual seven-inch displays. A seven-inch display with the larger 10.25-inch display is available, with top-tier models getting a pair of the large displays. It is powered by a full MBUX infotainment system, giving B-Class buyers access to its functions through a standard touchscreen. Features such as intelligent voice control, augmented reality, and a head-up display are optional.<ref name=":1" /> The all-electric configuration was removed, but a [[plug-in hybrid]] option was introduced. The plug-in hybrid comes with a 10.9 kWh battery which optionally supports DC charging and provides a WLTP combined cycle range of 66&nbsp;km.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.mercedes-benz.fr/passengercars/mercedes-benz-cars/models/b-class/hatchback-w247/hybride-rechargeable/offre-eq-power-classe-b.module.html | title=Classe B 250 e Hybride rechargeable &#124; Mercedes-Benz }}</ref>

===2022 facelift===
In 2022, the B-Class had received a facelift for the 2023 model year. With close resemblance to the [[Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177)#2023 facelift|W177 update]], the B-Class includes minor differences to the headlights with significant changes to the taillights, along with a changed interior, and improved infotainment adding the newest iteration of the Mercedes-Benz MBUX system. It also removed the manual transmission, alongside the A-Class and CLA as part of Mercedes-Benz's plan to retire manual transmissions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/mercedes-benz/b-class|title=Mercedes-Benz B-Class review|publisher=Top Gear}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/614404/2023-mercedes-b-class-facelift-debut/|title=2023 Mercedes B-Class Facelift Debuts With More Standard Kit, Extra PHEV Power|website=Motor1.com}}</ref>
