  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Interior

    Mercedes-Benz has released some Interior pictures of the upcoming 2012 B-Class. The manufacturer will put high-quality materials and some additional extras in the hatchback.

    There will be various cabin finishes and the dashboard is available in stitched ARTICO man-made leather like in the S-class. Good!

    The steering wheel in all Benzes was awful, but we like the new three-spoke one, which is borrowed from the CLS. The instrument cluster panel is made up of four analogue dials with two small ones on the inside bottom-right of the speedometer and tachometer.

    2012 B-Class was designed at Mercedes-Benz’s Advanced Design Studio in Como, Italy, so we expect Italian perfection, which will take the “compact class to a whole new level”.

    The 2012 B-Class will be showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt auto show in September and hits the market Europe in November.

    Stay tuned for more details!
