The diesel engines stand out a four-cylinder common rail turbo-diesel, which is derived on the OM651 fitted on other Mercedes models and has been improved in several details.The transmissions of this Mercedes B-Class are two: a six-speed manual and automatic dual-clutch transmission 7G-DTC, which is compatible with the Auto Start & Stop system. The displacement on this Mercedes B-class has grown to 1.8-L and, like the petrol, is on hand with two power levels: 109 hp and 250 Nm of torque at 1,400 rpm for the B 180 CDI and 136 hp and 300 Nm at 1,600 rpm for the B 200 CDI.

The Mercedes B-Class features advanced Active safety.

The new Mercedes B-Class relies on the most advanced electronic systems as the standard equipment comes with the Collision Prevention Assist which prevent and/or reduce the negative effects of a crash even at speeds above 30 km/h. The Mercedes B-Class features als a radar that detects the risk of a collision, and quickly activates the brake assist, so when the driver presses the brake pedal the braking will be as effective as possible. The Mercedes B-Class, which will be in dealerships in November, may count on the PRE-SAFE system.
