Mercedes-Benz B 220 d

Efficient for its class at 5.1 L/100km, keeping fuel costs in check on commutes and long trips
400 Nm torque and 194 hp provide confident highway merging and overtakes
Five seats and a 455 L trunk cover typical family duties without fuss
Signals a strong safety standing in its class, aligning with family priorities

If you need more than five seats or very large cargo capacity, 455 L may feel limiting
Diesel powertrain won’t suit buyers prioritizing petrol, hybrid, or EV options
A price of 42,000 may stretch tighter budgets
