I really didn't expect that the price of an MPV could be cheaper than the brand's entry-level sedan!
MPV has now rolled out of the sky, either luxurious, or huge, either technology, or enjoyment. But the clever Mercedes-Benz, but the opposite, more close to the people, cheaper product is not the most needed by consumers?
Mercedes-Benz already had MPV models before, positioned as a V-class, and formed a competitive relationship with Toyota Alpha. But this time the MPV is T-class, essentially a light commercial vehicle, but now it has become more family-oriented. More like the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz B-Class in appearance, the short engine compartment will help optimize the cabin space capability behind the A-pillar, and the A-pillar has a significant inclination that can also improve the safety attributes of the members of the car in the event of unexpected situations.
In fact, the Mercedes-Benz T-Class is derived from the Citan model, which focuses on low-cost transportation and pulling people, and is also the earliest popular car series in Japan. However, under the creation of Mercedes-Benz, even if the price of Ta is not high, it is equipped with a two-way door layout and a double-sided sliding door design that is difficult to see at this level. In order to take into account the convenience of pulling goods, Ta also adopts the form of narrow pillars at the rear of the car, which can maximize the caliber of the tailgate and make it more convenient to unload the goods.
The vehicle size is 4498/1859/1811 mm, the wheelbase is 2716 mm, and the Mercedes-Benz T-Class shared with Renault Kangoo platform is very careful in the morning, but not to mention too much technology. Although the cockpit of the vehicle has the most eye-catching four-particle cannon barrel air outlet, the latest batch of One-piece dual LCD screens commonly used by Mercedes-Benz has not arrived, but it is said to be equipped with MBUX system, support apple CarPlay/Android Auto mobile phone interconnection, voice interaction and other functions.
In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz T-Class was released with two engine options of 1.3T and 1.5T, and came standard with a 6-speed MT manual transmission and an optional 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. However, it is said that due to domestic emission policies, only 1.3T models may be listed in China.
Ghost Bucket Car View: Of course, the Diesel engine of the Mercedes-Benz T-Class is actually the K9K series engine commonly used by Renault-Nissan in the European market during the Renault-Nissan Alliance period, so can you understand the positioning of Ta? The third-generation Renault Kangoo's sister model is used to replace the Mercedes-Benz Citan in the past market. However, the overseas starting price of 29,300 is cheaper than the A-class of 32,500, so will you consider it?
