The Piston Spy spotted the 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class during industry test days at the Nurburgring. The second generation MPV will replace the facelifted first model, which hit the dealerships in 2008.
Not a lot of change to the mule outfit from the earlier winter testing spyshots.
According to reports, the new model will use a front wheel-drive platform different from the one utilized for the A-Class. Aside from the hatchback, Mercedes may bring the car out as a five-door coupe and coupe cabriolet.
There is also reports that the Mercedes Motorsport will make an AMG varient of this Chassis to compete with the Audi S3 and the Ford Focus RS but im afraid this wasnt the AMG varient.
Fantastic scoop..
After all the buzz and news, the spy gets us the real matter..
nice shots.!B class dimensions look promising
Hey,
That’s a proper ‘spy’ shot, great photos but what an ugly mule!
Yip the AMG might be worth a second look!
