Mercedes-Benz came to the Geneva Show with the new B-Class, which will have to compete in the segment of the midi-MPVs, or crossovers, with models such as the popular Renault Scenic and the Golf Plus.

The 168-inch-long B-Class has a flexible interior with a passenger seat and rear seats that can be folded down, or taken out. Customers will have a choice of engines with 96, 115, 136, and 193 hp and two diesels with 109 and 140 hp. A 2.0-liter turbo engine with 193 hp is expected later. The B-Class will go on sale in the course this summer.
