Those of you who are excited about the future of EV technology will rejoice with recent news that Daimler is looking to introduce an electric B-Class in the United States next year. Introduced for the first time at the 2013 New York International Auto Show, the 2014 B-Class Electric Drive excites by somehow pairing heavy torque with emissions-free driving. As Mercedes-Benz dealers you can imagine our own excitement!
We can't wait to see this one in person, especially since it promises to feature comfortable driving, smooth handling, and the luxurious Mercedes design we all know and love. And let us repeat: zero emissions. For many progressive Americans, this irresistible combination of guilt-free luxury and high tech will be the perfect vehicle to greet 2014 in.
The popular B-Class, which has been sold overseas since 2011 (but is not currently available in the US) is the inspiration for this new EV. A thoroughly modern vehicle designed for thoroughly modern drivers, with Internet connectivity as one of its major draws. "Fully networked" means owners can check on vehicle health, battery charge and travel range, and much more via their PC or smartphone. You can even set up the climate control system so the interior is just how you like it before you get to your car.
Safety is another area where this model excels, starting with "Energy Space", which protects the car's battery from damage during a collision under the floor. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST® is another feature working to help drivers steer clear of trouble by employing radar and Brake Assist. Plenty of other innovative Mercedes-Benz safety features are also available, of course.
We can't wait to get our hands on this innovative model, which we think embodies everything good about where this brand is going: technological progress, integration, and intuitive safety features, to start. If you don't want to wait until 2014, come down to our Lakeland Mercedes dealership to get a Mercedes of your own today!
