Stuttgart
- The Mercedes-Benz B-Class, the new vehicle concept brought
to market in June 2005, has achieved outstanding sales in
the first year following launch. Around 120,000 customers
have opted for the Compact Sports Tourer during this period.
A large portion of this sales success can be attributed
to the attractive equipment packages that are designed to
fulfil specific customer requirements, the latest example
being the new Active package.
Comprising
a selection of the most popular optional extras, the new
Active package for the B-Class represents added appeal for
the customer.

It includes
a generously sized panoramic glass roof with a manually operated
roller-type sunblind, cruise control, fog lamps, stowage boxes beneath
the driver and frontpassenger seats and an Aux-In socket (Audio
20 upwards) for connecting external devices such as an Apple iPod®
or MP3 player. Further features available as part of the Active
package include the Light and Sight package with rain sensor and
automatically activated headlamps. Prices for the Active package
start at € 933.80 (incl. 16 % VAT), saving B-Class customers around
30 percent on the cost of ordering the optional extras individually.
The B-Class Compact Sports
Tourer takes the acknowledged strengths of several vehicle concepts and
combines them to create its own distinctive profile. Designed as a touring,
family and recreational vehicle, the B-Class meets the needs of customers
who desire a vehicle offering generous spaciousness, exemplary comfort,
high practicality, exciting design and lots of driving enjoyment.
