Overview

Belonging to the compact hatchback segment, the 2014 Mercedes Benz B-Class Hatchback carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP of $41,450, the Mercedes Benz B-Class offers just one trim. This puts it in direct competition with cars like the BMW i3 Electric, and the Ford Focus Electric. There aren't any powertrain options to explore here. The B Class is equipped with a 132 kWh electric motor and a 28-kW battery pack with a rated power output of 174 horsepower. Through this setup, the B-Class gets a range of 84 miles. In a straight line, the B-Class clocks a 0-60 of 6.7 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 10 beautiful colors available for the car. 

Buying Advice

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Hatchback is a premium electric hatchback offered in a single trim. Among the options and packages available, we recommend the Interior Package which adds leather upholstery, topstitched MB-Tex upper dash and door trim, and heated front seats.
