End of an era
The Mercedes-Benz B-class has disappeared from the configurator in the Netherlands and Belgium. This marks the end of the b-class’s career after three generations, with no successor.
The Disappearance of the B-Class was Already Planned and is Therefore Not A Complete Surprise, But We Can Still Descrijbe It As The End Of An Era. After all, The B-Class was in Every Way a Derivative of the Original A-Class, and Until the End, it had that typical MPV-like shape that was so characteristic of the first a-classes. Initially, this created QUITE A Special Situation, because the B-class, launched in 2004, was very close to the a-class of that time in Terms of Dimensions and concept. This improved around the appearance of the second-generation B-class, because the a-class was already the sporty hatchback that it still is today.
The First Generation B-Class (Left) and the Last
The B-Class Suddenly Became Unique and Still Found QUITE A FEW CUSTOMERS, Not Least in The Netherlands Thanks to the Police. In 2018, Law Enforcement Chose the Generation of B-Class That was Already Disappeaering, Although Many B’s of the latest Type Were later Delivered in Red/Blue Stripes. That chapter of the Mercedes-Benz B-class had Already come to an end Earlier, because the BMW X1 and Ford Kuga Are Going to Replace the Mercedes at the Police.
