Mercedes-Benz B-Class Is Coming to America

FRANKFURT — Mercedes has long hesitated to export its A-Class and B-Class models to America, fearing that the compact cars’ prosaic, minivan looks did not fit with the super-premium image that the company cultivated in the United States.

But that is set to change with the introduction of a more stylish and elegant version of the B-Class, unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show on Tuesday. Dieter Zetsche, chief executive of Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes, said that the car would be exported to the United States and that other new compact models would follow.

Mercedes is trying to catch up with its rivals Audi and BMW in offering cars that are more affordable for younger buyers, hoping to win them as customers early. Mercedes is also following a trend toward more fuel-efficient cars that still have luxury features. The B-Class will have a turbocharged engine and a radar collision prevention system as standard equipment.

 

Daimler is likely to export other variations of its expanding lineup of compact models as they come onto the market in coming years, Dr. Zetsche said. The company is responding to American dealers who are excited about the lineup, which is expected to grow to five vehicles, including a compact S.U.V., Dr. Zetsche added.

“Dealers expressed interest in all of them,” he said.

The new B-Class, which goes on sale in Europe in November but most likely will not arrive in the United States until 2013, strikes a more sporting stance than its predecessor. It sits lower to the ground, which takes away some of the minivan effect. To hold down production costs, Mercedes will build some of the cars in a new factory in Hungary.

“It’s a real Mercedes,” Thomas Weber, head of research and development at Daimler, said in an interview.

Mr. Weber said it was unlikely that all five planned compact models would come to North America, but they would all meet United States requirements just in case. Other new models will include a new A-Class, due in Europe next year; the S.U.V.; and a coupe.

“These five are perfectly designed for the global market,” he said.

Mercedes-Benz F125! gullwing fuel cell concept leaks ahead of Frankfurt

Visit www.waltsmb.com to find your Mercedes-Benz today

Omni Auto reports that Mercedes-Benz will debut the F 125! gullwing coupe concept seen here at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show.

According to Omni Auto, the F 125! concept showcases M-B's design direction for the 2025 CL-Class. It's unknown if the German automaker intends to make a production CL that's fueled by hydrogen, but if the German automaker does, then Omni Auto says its likely that the setup featured in the F 125! that will be used. In this case, that means four electric motors cranking out a combined 231 horsepower. That level of grunt allows the F 125! to hit a top speed of 137 miles and zip from 0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. According to Omni Auto's leaked information, Benz says the F 125! consumes 0.79 kilograms of hydrogen per 100 kilometers and that the stylish coupe can travel up to 621 miles on a full tank.

As you can probably tell, the F 125! draws styling cues from the automaker's F800 Style concept, a four-door sedan that debuted at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. However, the prototype F 125! features a chassis made from a mix of carbon fiber, aluminum and plastics along with a unique carbon fiber tank to hold hydrogen at 700 bar. The gullwing's 10-kWh lithium-ion battery pack allows the 125 F! to travel approximately 31 miles before activation of the on-board fuel cell is required.

Look for us to post live shots and more details on the Mercedes-Benz F 125! concept when it debuts in Frankfurt, but for the moment, be sure to check out the image gallery to see the concept's trick slide-out trunk and stylized design.
