When first looking at the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive, one's first impression is probably mild confusion, since Mercedes-Benz vehicles this small aren't something we're used to seeing here in the United States. Despite that fact, this vehicle marks the first of what are likely to be several smaller Mercedes-Benz vehicles slated for an American debut over the course of the next several years, though it's not the smallness of this car that makes it so interesting; it's the drivetrain.
Yes, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is an all-electric automobile that runs exclusive on battery power, meaning consumers who invest in one of these vehicles when they debut sometime later this year may never have to visit a gas station ever again.
Owners of this bubbly little compact hatch will love not having to mess with gasoline anymore, as this vehicle has a 60-minute, 115-mile range on a single charge of the 100kW electric motor. It will also feature premium leatherette vinyl upholstery, improved seating over the current B-Class vehicles and lavish accents spread throughout the interior of the car. Outside, it's hard not to love the look of this thing, even if it isn't your traditional Mercedes-Benz automobile.
As a respected Mercedes-Benz dealer, we here at Fields Motorcars love the idea of smaller cars on American roads, especially if they're as efficient and environmentally friendly as this one. While it may not be the typical vehicle fans have seen from this brand in the past, it does represent an important step toward the future as far as the environment is concerned.
