Passenger & boot space
How it copes with people and clutter
Despite having a high-set, SUV-like driving position, there’s plenty of room in the front of the B-Class; even very tall people are well accommodated in the broad, high-roofed interior. Space is equally impressive in the rear seats, with plenty of head and leg room for two six-footers – or even three to sit side-by-side.
That said, adult middle rear seat passengers probably won’t fancy a long trip; the firm, raised seat cushion isn't ideal. The rear seatbacks can be reclined for a more laid back seating position, or set to a more upright position to free up a bit more boot space. 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats come as standard for those occasions you need to carry more clobber.
