Mercedes B-Class B200d AMG Line Executive 5dr Auto Review
Category: MPV
Section: Version review

The model
Read full reviewThe B-Class is smart inside, comfortable and really practical. If you’re looking for a genuine SUV alternative and you don’t need seven seats, it’s well worth a look. The entry-level B180 petrol in Sport or Sport Executive trim is our pick, but company car users might find the plug-in hybrid B250e of interest.

See full equipmentRange-topping AMG Line trim adds mainly styling fripperies over Sport Executive so we wouldn’t bother spending the extra. However, it does give you access to the Premium and Premium Plus packages, which bring some serious luxuries.
The engine
See full engine specsProduces its maximum pulling power low down in the rev, so it feels plenty punchy enough around town and, unlike some diesels, delivers its power progressively rather than in one big rush when the turbocharger kicks in.
