Mercedes-Benz entered the MPV market earlier than BMW and Audi, until now, BMW and Audi have not officially launched their own MPV models, and Mercedes-Benz has long launched the Vito and V-Class (and the R-Class that has been discontinued), although the sales of these models are lackluster, but Mercedes-Benz has not stopped the launch of new MPV models. Not long ago, Mercedes-Benz officially released a new T-class, which is based on a new generation of Citan, positioned as a compact SUV, intended to fill the price gap between the B-class and the V-class, to put it bluntly, the price of the Mercedes-Benz T-class will not be too high. And this small size MPV in the North American market and the Chinese market will not have much to do, its real potential market in the European market, after all, the current European market is still based on Renault Kangoo and Volkswagen Kaidi, the emergence of Mercedes-Benz T-Class, it is conducive to Mercedes-Benz "attack" this downward market.
Mercedes-Benz T-Class can be divided into standard axle version and long shaft version, the first will be launched standard axle version of the model, the later will be launched long axle version of the model, but based on the standard axle version of the 4498 * 1859 * 1811mm length, width and height, it is expected that the body size of the long shaft version of the model will not be very long. In terms of seat layout, the standard-axle version adopts a 5-seat layout, and the long-axle version adopts a 7-seat layout. In terms of appearance, the family atmosphere of the front face is very strong, Mercedes-Benz "three-pronged star" large standard with three horizontal chrome trims, it looks very imposing, but its "momentum" is limited to the front face, to the side of the car to see, it "exposed the filling", the square shape looks very much like Wuling Hongguang and other "micro-surfaces", it seems very simple, from its side it is difficult to believe, this is a Mercedes-Benz car. In addition, its rear door uses a sliding door design, which is very practical.
Its rear creates a boxy feel through a large number of flat straight lines, the tail window area is large, there is no integrated taillight on the trunk lid, and the tail light appears to be very cramped, like a design completed in a hurry, lacking the feeling of craftsmanship. In addition, the roof of the car is also equipped with a luggage rack, which further enhances the carrying capacity.
In the interior part, it is clear that the interior design of the car is not the latest design language of Mercedes-Benz, and looks a bit like the interior design of the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz C-class. Its interior materials are mainly hard plastic, the center console basically can not see leather trim and wood grain trim, Mercedes-Benz is proud of the luxury interior in the new Mercedes-Benz T-Class completely did not show, may choose this price model consumers do not pay too much attention to the luxury of the interior, right? Specifically, its suspension central control screen is 7 inches, there is a Mercedes-Benz logo above the barrier, and it is also equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and the two sides of the air conditioning control roller are made of metal material, in addition to the overall design is slightly rough, the detailed design is still good.
In terms of space, the rear leg space is still very spacious, the rear floor is also very flat, and the rear seats can be reclined in 4/6 ratios to expand the practicality of the trunk. The car is also equipped with a small table behind the front seats, and the Mercedes-Benz is still very careful in mechanical design.
Powerly, because the French market is very fond of diesel models, Mercedes-Benz T-Class in addition to the introduction of gasoline models, will also launch a diesel version of the model, it provides 1.3T gasoline engine and 1.5T diesel engine, but the more "chicken thief" is that these two engines are distinguished between high and low power, the maximum power of the 1.3T engine is 102 horsepower and 131 horsepower, and the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 75 horsepower, 95 horsepower and 116 horsepower, respectively. Referring to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Mercedes-Benz GLB, the drivetrain is expected to be equipped with a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission.
