Mercedes B-Class 2023: Spyshot on Test Drive

A facelift is coming up for the Mercedes B-Class. Now a specimen has been photographed during test drives. There will be a facelift for the Mercedes B-Class later this year. As usual, the front and rear will be revised. We do not expect evolutionary changes.

Exterior design

The current version of the B-Class has been on the road since the end of 2018, so it’s time for an update. As you can see in the pictures, the changes will mainly be limited to the front and rear. As is usual with a facelift, there will be only slight adjustments. Innovations are to be expected, especially on the aprons, grill, and headlights.

It is not clear whether all the lights will be changed or just a new light graphic.

Engines and specifications

It is also questionable whether you will see great changes in the engines. Gasoline, diesel, and a plug-in hybrid are currently in the range – and it will probably stay that way. If you look at the B-Class’s biggest opponent, the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the hybrid could do with some improvement in terms of all-electric range. The BMW has a range of 90 kilometers, while the current B-Class only has 77 kilometers.

Overall, it is expected that improvements will eventually be made in terms of efficiency and performance.

Mercedes B-Class prices and the start of sales

When exactly the facelift will come onto the market is still unclear. We assume that the revised model cannot be expected before the end of 2022 or even early 2023. Accordingly, the question of the price of the B-Class is still open.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
