1.3T engine, low-end increased to 265,800! Mercedes-Benz B-Class really does not pit the poor?
If a domestic model has a total length of less than 4.5 meters, uses a non-independent suspension of the rear torque beam, the power system only has a small displacement of 1.3T, and the key is also matched with a dual-clutch transmission, how much do you think such a model can be priced? If it is from the Great Wall Geely Chery Chang'an brands, I am afraid that the dare to price more than 100,000 is a bit drifty. However, there is such a configuration of the model in the Chinese market can be priced at 265,800 start, which is the recently completed updated Mercedes-Benz B-class, after the change of the starting guidance price increased significantly.
Probably more people are more familiar with mercedes-benz C-class, it seems that they have not heard much about Mercedes-Benz B-class, in fact, the presence of Mercedes-Benz B-class is indeed not strong, after all, it is an imported version of the model. From the perspective of size positioning, it is a compact car, but in the case of hatchback design, the total length is only 4423mm, the wheelbase is 2729mm is a small advantage, and the rear space performance can meet the needs of family cars.
From the perspective of design, if it is not the front face of the Mercedes-Benz family, this is more like a cheap small steel cannon product, and the entire body posture is relatively low, especially the side of the body looks petite. The front of the car not only hangs a Mercedes-Benz small label, but also has a large standard of Mercedes-Benz, and the conspicuous car logo is a major core selling point of this car, if you want to meet the needs of face, this car is of course competent.
The interior is a Mercedes-Benz family technology configuration, the through-type full LCD digital dashboard is indeed very sci-fi, but the details of other parts of the material is not so thick, the entire table and the inside of the door are basically black hard plastic cheap texture, and a small car priced at more than 260,000 only provides textile fabric seats, which is almost unimaginable in the domestic field.
Nowadays, the power system of Mercedes-Benz entry-level models generally uses a small displacement, the new Mercedes-Benz B-class revamp continues to be equipped with a 1.3T engine, although the displacement is small but not a three-cylinder engine, the maximum output power of 163 horsepower is indeed not weak, the official claim can bring 8.5 seconds zero hundred acceleration results, which is used for daily commuting tools is also not slow, but the small displacement upper limit is after all a little lower, the maximum power speed needs to be pulled up to 5500 rpm, and it needs to burn No. 95 gasoline.
The chassis uses the front McPherson independent suspension with the rear torque beam non-independent suspension, and the introduction of the domestic version of the entire series uses the front drive, and there is no luxury model of the usual rear drive or four-wheel drive. So from the perspective of all aspects of hardware configuration, has it been felt that mercedes-Benz B-class is indeed not poor? Ordinary working-class consumers will most likely not spend 200,000 or 300,000 to choose such a small car with a low configuration.
But because the chinese market is large enough, since the introduction of domestic sales, it must be able to sell, from the sales data of recent months, Mercedes-Benz B-class sales of hundreds of units a month is relatively stable, although it is not a hit, but obviously someone is willing to pay for such a car.
The question is, where do you think the Mercedes-Benz B-Class selling point is? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans!
