奔驰B级车是在2006年上市的，随后在2012年推出了第二代车型，现在车厂计划推出其第三代车型。谍照记者最近拍到的新一代B级车的车身伪装比以前更少。这辆2019款B级车就像A级车一样采用更高车顶，不过奔驰努力使这辆掀背车与其同宗兄弟之间有更大不同。虽然A级车采用的是与新款CLS共享的“掠食者”前脸，但B级车则采用更时尚的前脸，更好的契合了车身其余部分。由于采用了不同的车身侧面轮廓，新车的内部空间更宽敞，另外由于B级车的车窗更高，因此采光性更好。虽然车身的云纹伪装让人无法看清车身细节，但可以确定在C柱以后是固定车窗。与上一代B级车相比，考虑到新车的车身尺寸增加，因此后窗面积会更大一些。车尾可以很清晰的看到尾灯组形状与A级车不同，内部的灯组群也与现行版B级车有很大不同。由于车身尺寸增加，行李箱容积也将扩大，从而使这辆车更适合长距离旅行。车辆内装也将获得升级，将配备新的MBUX信息娱乐系统，而相当一部分内装将取自A级车。目前还不清楚该车发布的具体时间，但预计将于明年初亮相。

 

2019 Mercedes B-Class Spotted With Thinner Camouflage

Mercedes has been selling the B-Class since 2006 and after introducing the second generation in 2012, the Daimler-owned company is now getting ready to roll out the third iteration of its posh MPV.

 

Caught with less camouflage than ever before, the 2019 B-Class is more than just an A-Class with a taller roof as the latest spy shots allow us to see that Mercedes has made more efforts to separate the hatchback from its more practical sibling. While the A-Class has that sporty “Predator” face shared with the new CLS, the forthcoming minivan adopts a more stylish front fascia that better suits the car’s body.

 

Because of the different roofline, the greenhouse is much more generous in the case of the B-Class thanks to taller windows allowing a lot of light to enter the roomy cabin. The swirly camouflage is blocking the view, but we’re pretty sure there’s a fixed glass area aft the C-pillars. The quarter glass might just be a little bit bigger compared to the outgoing B-Class since the new generation is expected to grow in size much like the A-Class did.

 

Moving at the back, it’s easy to see the taillights have a different shape than those of the A-Class and at the same time represent a significant departure from the rear lighting clusters of the current B-Class. Thanks to what will be an increased footprint, the trunk’s capacity will increase to make the minivan a better companion during longer trips.

 

It goes without saying that basically all of the oily bits plus the swanky new MBUX infotainment system will be taken from the hatchback and pretty much everything else will be inherited from the A-Class.

 

As to when Mercedes will reveal its fresh new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer competitor, it’s unclear at this point, but we might have to wait until early 2019.
