2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: Up Close
More 2013 New York Auto Show Coverage
Mercedes’ electric B-Class is a full-blown luxury car with a classy, light-colored interior and classic Mercedes appointments; its dashboard layout is similar to the recently introduced entry-level CLA-Class sedan. The B-Class’ interior is a step up compared to electric hatchbacks like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. An electric gauge showing charge, power and boost readouts replaces a traditional tachometer. Interior roominess mirrors the C-max’s cabin, where at 6 feet tall, I fit snuggly with enough head- and legroom to be comfortable, though there’s not much room to spare.
