Day-by-Day Review: 2015 Mercedes-Benz B 250 4Matic; Day 1 - Autos.ca
Day 1 The Mercedes-Benz B 250, or simply the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, is a vehicle that I had never driven until now. My basic understanding is that it is a compact luxury hatchback, a class that basically doesn’t really exist in North America. Lexus has a vehicle in this class, sort of, the Lexus CT200h, but that is available only as a hybrid and doesn’t really offer the space of the B-class. The B 250 kind of looks like a micro-minivan as well, like the Mazda5 or the Kia Rondo, but it is not really as large as those, it’s really just a tall hatchback. But what is unique here is the availability of the 4Matic system from Mercedes-Benz — that’s right, an all-wheel-drive compact hatchback, another rarity in the automotive landscape. my tester, for example, is close to $42,000. But it is a Mercedes-Benz: a badge that is coveted by many, although I’m not sure how many covet the B-Class or even know it exists despite being around for quite some time now. Source: www.autos.ca
