Great video as always. I have a B 250e and love driving electric. If needed the 218 hp is indeed available. The boot space is exactly the same without the 50L underfloor storage as there is the sub-woofer and tire repair kit. The 40 miles range is realistic but you must drive a 1000 miles before the engine/system knows your driving pattern. Tips: When possible get a EV charger at home Always go for the bigger screens as the experience is so much better.

@@npoleary Thanks, going to pop and have a look at a B Class today, wondering if it's better to opt for the premium over executive so you have the bigger 10" screens over a big and small one. It's £1500 more, but does look cool. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks Nick. Great video. I have the B200 AMG line and its a great car and as you say dont be put off by the 1.3 litre. Its smooth, quiet, torquey and doesn't need to be over revved to get the best out of it. Also very practical roomy car as well. The 10 inch screens are a must have if you can. Question: The MBUX system had an update yesterday on the car and it now appears to be highlighting speed camera locations. I had a memory stick plugged in to get them before but it seems there are double symbols now showing and a notification noise. Are you aware if Mercedes is now including this as I understood previously they didn't support it?
Hey Matthew, I haven’t seen anything like this, officially Mercedes don’t support speed cameras as they are designed in Germany, speed camera detection is illegal there so naturally we don’t see that feature anywhere. I’ll keep an eye out but if that has changed I’ll be sure to cover it on here. That’ll be a future video for sure!
Hi Mick Yes it is. No communication at all from my main dealer it’s nearly 10 months may start looking for something else, seen plenty of Honda deliveries to my local dealer!
Nick, another very informative show to the usual high standard. Our cars come with a manual that are never easy to go through / find things. Mercedes should include a thumb drive with each car sold with your appropriate videos. That would be a great way to learn about your car and features as there are so many things. Looking forward to your next video.
Last year I picked up my white 2019 b class 200d in premium plus trim, has all the kit especially the dual large screens, body styling and most importantly no blank buttons unlike most other brands. I personally would recommend the b class over A class as the cabin is much bigger and suitable for family’s.
Apple CarPlay is great but yeah MBUX is an amazing multimedia system. If you do go for it, just be aware that it won’t fill your entire screen. You can see what it looks like on the Mercedes me store before you buy.
Nick, why do you keep your eyes open during presentation? You’ve become so good you can do it with your eyes shut!👏🇲🇹👍 Great video once again Tnx. If you find the time could you please let us know if any progress has been made yet regarding using the front camera as a dash cam in the UK since your MBUX video? Also is there any way the front camera can be used like the reversing camera, i.e. whilst stationary? I have a 2021 CLA 180 Shooting Brake Premium Plus remember. Cheers. Joseph Buhagiar
Hey Joseph, thanks! Haha think it might be a little weird if I had my eyes closed the whole time though! 😅 I’ve heard rumours that Mercedes are working on it, trust me as soon as I hear anything, I’ll make a video on here about it! 🤓 Oh and no unfortunately only the reversing camera can only be used as a parking camera at the moment. The front one right now is only for augmented reality on MBUX.
@@npoleary OK. Thanks for the reply. I’ll keep praying. The only thing I thought my CLA had but hadn’t is the HUD. I’m not a fast driver now anyway so I can live with that. Keep Safe.👍

Hi Nick, Good video as usual. Still waiting for a delivery date on my AMG Premium Plus, 8 months wait to date and been told could be a year before arriving. So hoping the wait will be worth it?
Hello Nick, can you help better understand the differences between a B Class and a Hatchback A Class. I'm in Canada for reference and have had a B250 here for years that I adore.
Ah nice! Well I’ve actually covered the B-Class recently at my local Mercedes 🤓 ruclips.net/video/RKSWP0M0OLE/видео.html Basically a larger version of my car that I bought there too. B-Class is exactly the same, but taller, same width and easier to get in and out of. Also has a larger more practical boot too!
Oh really, I know that models vary round the world If you chat to Mercedes they might let you know if it’s ever coming back. I guess an alternative would be the GLA? (If it’s available there too)
Awesome! 😍 I have some questions about the three-year Mercedes Me services. When I pass that expiration date, can I pay once off to have it renewed, or are monthly payments the only way? Also, how long can the renewable be for? Is it another three years or can I decide? Asking for 2021 E-Class sedan facelift. Thank you. 🙂
Hey Lightning Farron, Unfortunately no monthly payments available but they are one off payments for 1, 2 or 3 years on certain services. It’ll look a bit like this after 3 years: MERCEDES ME APP Vehicle Set Up - 1, 2 or 3 Years Vehicle Monitoring - 1, 2 or 3 Years IN CAR NAVI Online Map Update - 3 Years Live Traffic Information - 1, 2 or 3 Years There some others but those are the most popular ones 🤓
I cant vouch for the previous generation but I can tell you the current one is the smoothest riding car I have ever owned for driving comfort and mine is the AMG line
@@matthewmallett4718 That is good to hear. I have a B 250e AMG Premium on order and I am hoping the ride is nice. I was concerned that the low profile tyres and big wheels may make it a hard ride. I am starting to get disillusioned as I ordered it in Feb. The eta keeps going back. Just hope it is worth the wait!
@@rogerunstead2248 I hope it arrives soon for you. I agree generally low profile tyres can upset car rides but not the case with this one. Definitely set up for comfort with only the occasional pot hole or road imperfections sending up a thud. Coming from a lot of Fords including still having a latest Focus the B Class is much less jiggly on normal road surfaces and more complient if not as agile in bends etc.
@@matthewmallett4718 Thanks very much for taking the time to reply and giving me your views. It's good to hear. I am waiting for the 250e, so hope it is worth the wait. I have had several other brands of PHEVs and they suit me well, the last one being a Golf GTE. But I wanted something a bit higher and with more boot space, so the B class seems right. I found the A class a bit claustrophobic. Interesting you mention Fords. Having waited so long and with a lack of communication from MB, I have been almost at the point of cancelling the B-class and going for the Kuga PHEV. I had a drive recently and thought it was pretty good, although it's rather bigger than I need.
That’s my car 🥰 Received last month. Definitely options in Japan are different. The navigation option is mandatory... Power seat, heated front seats and cruise control are available on the entry level. And no hybrid version at all on the B class (most hybrid on most classes are available here 😞)
@@npoleary slowly getting used to it. I need to lean forward to see what button I need to press. One very confusing thing is the “active lane keeping assists”. Mine is faulty (used car, intermittent inoperative, still within 3 years so I should be able to get it repair for free). When it’s off, I thought I’ll need to steer by myself... “active lane keeping assist” and “active steering assist” are different. The “lane keeping” make the car change lane with just the use of the signals. The “steering assist” steers the wheel to keep me in lane.
Hi Damax, Just to help clarify these systems are all different and the lane changing is part of the Driving Assistance Package. Active Lane Keeping Assist - this keeps you in lane when the sensors on the car can “see” white lines visible on the road. The symbol will go green when it can see them and will be grey when the speed is too low or the lines are not clear. If you went over a white line the car can do one of two things, rumble the wheel or brake the opposite two wheels and jolt you back into lane. Active Steering Assist - this is separate and forms part of the Driving Assistance Package & is very rare in models in the UK. When using Active Distance Assist, Active Steering Assist will actively steer the car when white lines are visible and also if it can see a car in front. Active Lane Change Assist - this is also part of the Driving Assistance Package whereby the car can move over a lane and overtake a car and then move back into lane simply just by indicating. Of course as the previous point, this only works when using Active Distance Assist. Due to United Nations regulations, some of this has been adjusted last year for new models only. Yours won’t be affected by this.
Potentially! However each model has a product cycle (life cycle until a new one launches) of about 6-7 years. W247 only came out in summer 2019 so is still pretty new. However historically there’s a facelift usually 4-5 years in so there might be something 2023 to 2024 👀
hi do you have a guy that deals with the audio systems .my b220 audio system seems to be a cut down version and i wondered if the firmware could be upgraded
Hey Ray, really sorry I’ve not worked on Mercedes in that way or modified them so wouldn’t be able help in that situation. If something’s not right, if you get in touch with your local Mercedes, they’ll be able to help. They aren’t allowed to “modify” cars though away from their original specification.
*I have a W247 2019 B200CDi AMG with nearly all the tricks, which I had a small part in designing at Dortmund December 2016 (Signed Secret can say no more) Great Car, not into Speed more MPG than MPH. However did 143 mph [Sat-Nav] in my 2014 B200CDi AMG Line (Near München on the way to Saalbach/Hinterglemm on a ski trip a couple of years ago, and overall on the trip averaged 53.2 MPG) With my latest car have seen 85.6 MPG recorded over 108 Miles on A46/M1 & A14 and over 700 miles **_Range_** which blows Electric Cars totally away. **-I did consider waiting for the to be launched shortly A& B Series Hybrid and EV Models to be announced-** however did find out that these were going to cost around £5k more, so work it out - simples*
Hey Yara, By default all Mercedes have visual parking sensors at the front and sound last second which is different to the back. You can change this to Warn Early by going to Settings, Assistance & then Camera & Parking. Scroll to 9 mins in: ruclips.net/video/MrGYpIZhzbg/видео.html I show it in this video 🤓
@@npoleary thank you so much for your answer nick! Yes I did watch all of this video. However, on my GLA, I don’t have the camera and parking entry in the assistance tab. I only have two other options that have to do with the emergency braking.
Hey Yara, Do you have parking sensors? They should be listed in there if you do At least that’s what it looks like on UK GLA’s Parking sensors are found on the package called Executive Package the one with folding mirrors 🤓
Thanks Mark, glad you like the review! Well this one is a standard one but it is good that Mercedes offer a digital instrument cluster as standard. Of course opt for Premium and you’ll get the full digital dashboard experience 🤓
*Note the A/C - Rest button when pressed when leaving the car will keep the car heated using scavenged Engine Heat for up to ½ hour - or keep car ventilated in Summer with Ambient Heat [outside Temperature] - Note to get the best from Sat-Nav need to have phoned paired via Bluetooth, and I use a USB Stick (Media Player) with thousands of MP3 tracks and videos that can be watched whilst stationary, and using MBUX you can say "Play Next Track" or "Play me an Elvis song" (provided you have some on stick will do so - never fails to impress passengers !) Superb Car that I had a very small part in design {Dortmund December 2016} and sorry but my objections were overruled and rear exhausts are **_fake_** due to change in EU Sound Regulations. However too late so car went into production with **_fake_** rear outlets. Pity not coupled with fantastically economical Diesel Engine (up to 85.6 MPG over 108 Miles in a B200 CDi AMG Line) and would have been an absolute no brainer - Brucie Bonus - Ask Ms Mercedes "Will you marry me ?*
9:04 *If you are a bit old fashioned maybe like me you can transfer MP3 and Video Files to a USB Stick and as soon as you enter the car will automatically pick up from last track played [with Album Art] and suggest Random selection - Much Like Forrest Gump you do not know what you get next - flick Next (on steering wheel) and next track - or you can say Mercedes **_Next Track_** No Need for HEY!*
Hey Ananto, the new shape GLA was released in 2019 and is the same shape. Since then though, specs may have changed but you find those out by speaking with your local dealership or even in fact on the eBrochures. But yes, dimensions wise it’s the same
I had a B Class for a day when my car was being serviced and I was surprised on how comfortable and relaxed the ride was, plus the room inside is quite deceiving.
Hello N O would you recommend B Class for disabled person please ? For convenience I need electric seats would you think I could find B class an ideal car please ..,
Hey Martin, absolutely! The B-Class is a lovely car, it’s based on the A-Class but most importantly is not as low down as the A-Class. It’s raised driving position is perfect for getting in and out with ease and it even features comfort suspension all round. If you’re eligible and based in the UK, the Mercedes B-Class is on the motability scheme which is really good too!
Could I support that it’s on the motorbility scheme which Is how how I got mine but Merc withdrew the excellent tail lift advising me 3 days before collecting my car. Terrible truth as I had told the salesman that it was the clincher over the Kia but my MS can currently cope with the exercise but not sure fir how long. They won’t fit one for me either telling me” we can’t retro fit” don’t befoieve it’s not possible- they just have my money now. Shame as great car apart from that.
@@npoleary ah ok not to bad sorry for asking to mych but i cant seen to find the model so ik its mercades benz b claas but is it the b250e or amg line b250e or ?
I don't like the standard screen Nick. I cant believe MB makes the Multimedia full screen which is better and more appealing an option. That standard screen would be a turn off to most protentional buyers, well it is for me. I would haggle with the dealer to get them to anti up to the upgraded screen, or see ya later...
Mercedes Japan just doesn’t sell it. Feels it’s a more mature decision and it’s simply the used market. I heard Mercedes has non-electric rear passenger windows in Europe on some entry models, I felt extremely confused by that.
@@DamaxThomas Cheers mate for the info. Its crazy how car makers make variants of the same model with different specs as a pose to 1 model to go anywhere. not inc; L or RH drive obviously. If you want to blow money I guess making different variants is the way to go!
@@js-amg the normal model , the AMG Line and the AMG variants does makes sense. A brand perceived as luxury should cheap out on cheap stuff (the screen itself is)

Pity not coupled with fantastically economical Diesel Engine (up to 85.6 MPG over 108 Miles in a B200 CDi AMG Line) and would have been an absolute no brainer - Brucie Bonus - Ask Ms Mercedes "Will you marry me ?*
Nice one respect out to you 👍🏾
Thanks Dre Killa!
9:04 *If you are a bit old fashioned maybe like me you can transfer MP3 and Video Files to a USB Stick and as soon as you enter the car will automatically pick up from last track played [with Album Art] and suggest Random selection - Much Like Forrest Gump you do not know what you get next - flick Next (on steering wheel) and next track - or you can say Mercedes **_Next Track_** No Need for HEY!*
What is the difference to New GLA 2021? Almost identical
Hey Ananto, the new shape GLA was released in 2019 and is the same shape. Since then though, specs may have changed but you find those out by speaking with your local dealership or even in fact on the eBrochures.
But yes, dimensions wise it’s the same
Ic so B Class and GLA 2021 dimensions is the same, right? Bcos my dealer keeps saying that GLA is crossover and B Class is city car blabla
They are slightly different dimensions but not too dissimilar 🤓
I had a B Class for a day when my car was being serviced and I was surprised on how comfortable and relaxed the ride was, plus the room inside is quite deceiving.
What do u mean by deceiving
Hello N O would you recommend B Class for disabled person please ? For convenience I need electric seats would you think I could find B class an ideal car please ..,
Hey Martin, absolutely! The B-Class is a lovely car, it’s based on the A-Class but most importantly is not as low down as the A-Class. It’s raised driving position is perfect for getting in and out with ease and it even features comfort suspension all round.
If you’re eligible and based in the UK, the Mercedes B-Class is on the motability scheme which is really good too!
Could I support that it’s on the motorbility scheme which Is how how I got mine but Merc withdrew the excellent tail lift advising me 3 days before collecting my car. Terrible truth as I had told the salesman that it was the clincher over the Kia but my MS can currently cope with the exercise but not sure fir how long. They won’t fit one for me either telling me” we can’t retro fit” don’t befoieve it’s not possible- they just have my money now. Shame as great car apart from that.
What model is this and year?
This one’s a B-Class 🤓
Available on this shape from approx 2019 onwards and in various engines from 1.3L to 2.0L 👍🏼
@@npoleary ah ok thanks
@@npoleary do you know how much these are?
Best to check with your local Mercedes for exact pricing 🤓
In the UK though they start at £31,475
@@npoleary ah ok not to bad sorry for asking to mych but i cant seen to find the model so ik its mercades benz b claas but is it the b250e or amg line b250e or ?

Hey Paolo, I would love to have done but sadly at the time of recording there wasn’t available 😞
Das Lenkrad ist auf der falschen Seite. 😎
This guy sounds just like Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
I don't like the standard screen Nick. I cant believe MB makes the Multimedia full screen which is better and more appealing an option. That standard screen would be a turn off to most protentional buyers, well it is for me. I would haggle with the dealer to get them to anti up to the upgraded screen, or see ya later...
Mercedes Japan just doesn’t sell it. Feels it’s a more mature decision and it’s simply the used market. I heard Mercedes has non-electric rear passenger windows in Europe on some entry models, I felt extremely confused by that.
@@DamaxThomas Cheers mate for the info. Its crazy how car makers make variants of the same model with different specs as a pose to 1 model to go anywhere. not inc; L or RH drive obviously. If you want to blow money I guess making different variants is the way to go!
@@js-amg the normal model , the AMG Line and the AMG variants does makes sense. A brand perceived as luxury should cheap out on cheap stuff (the screen itself is)
Oh really? Wow that is strange
Can’t remember the last time I used a rear window handle!
@@npoleary my sure I heard that in one of your video 🧐
I certainly misunderstood
*Yippeeee Nick*
Haha 🤓
