2006 Mercedes-Benz B Class Turbo

Dec 24 , 2005

JIM KENZIE

Wolfgang Reitzle is an engineering genius who helped make BMW the technological forerunner it became.

But he always had the greatest respect for his main rival, Mercedes Benz, while he was at BMW.

Reitzle once said that only the Mercedes brand was strong enough to be applied to just about any vehicle.

He felt that even the owner of an S Class luxury sedan wouldn't feel slighted to see the three-pointed star on the hood of a small economy car, or even a transport truck or bus.

Mercedes itself has backed off a little on that, using Smart for the very bottom of its lineup and Maybach at the very top.

But the Stuttgart powerhouse is pushing the envelope again with its new 2006 B Class.

A $30,000 Mercedes Benz? Well, almost.

Mercedes Benz calls the B Class a "compact sports tourer." You and I would call it a miniminivan.

It's been at area dealerships since mid September.

This front-drive, one box subcompact is based on a stretched version of the A Class two-door and four-door hatchbacks, which are deemed too small for us.

Even the B Class looks small from the outside. But step in, and it's like a cathedral in there.

Two main reasons for that: height and "sandwich."

Any tall vehicle feels more spacious simply because you're sitting more upright, and the length that might be taken up by your legs is instead transplanted into the vertical dimension.

Sandwich?

This involves slanting the transverse-mounted engine and partially sliding it between the layers of the double floor.

Thus, a greater proportion of the vehicle's length can be devoted to payload.

Height and sandwich add safety benefits.

You're sitting 200 mm higher than usual in a small sedan, so the side impact beams are more likely to interface with your dance partner's bumpers.

The sandwich means that in a frontal crash, the power train tends to slide under the occupants, rather than into their laps.

The second row of seats split folds in one-third/two-thirds proportion and can even be removed if you're energetic enough.

Add it all up and there's more interior room for people and stuff than in an E Class, yet with a footprint smaller than the E Class.

In a word, efficient.

The height can fool you. Every time I stepped out of the B Class, I forgot how high off the ground I really was.

The upholstery is a nice, durable looking yet luxurious cloth.

Broken record, I know, but why would anyone want anything else in a car?

The rest of the trim is mostly high quality plastics, although nothing that will keep Audi up late at night.

However, it is a bit drab.

This Benz always seems to be beeping at you for some real or imagined slight.

Switch on the ignition, beep! You get zero seconds to put your seatbelt on. Put a moderately heavy briefcase on the passenger seat beep! It's warning you that the belt isn't

buckled.

For my briefcase?

The B Class engine is a 2.0 litre, eight-valve four-cylinder, available with (193 hp) or without (134 hp) turbocharger. Mine was the latter.

A six-speed manual transmission can be optionally replaced by a continuously variable automatic. You could drive it for a week and hardly know it was anything but a regular automatic I did.

The CVT even has Mercedes's manual override feature. Slap the lever to the left and it downshifts. Slap right, upshift.

It doesn't really shift gears per se; it just realigns the two sets of pulleys in the tranny to a given ratio, for better performance.

The turbo motor and CVT work well together: performance is very strong. There's little sense of a turbo at all, just beefy, torquey urge.

The engine note is a bit gruff, though. Not even Mercedes can build a totally smooth four-banger.

The steering is power-assisted by an electric motor. This setup usually isn't idea for feel, but it's okay here. The motor can be a bit noisy on occasion.

One advantage of electric steering is that it is integrated into the electronic stability control program.

In an incipient skid, the steering effort can be adjusted to help the driver maintain (or regain) control.

The shocks are adaptive, switching firmness automatically depending on driving conditions. Overall, the ride is on the firm side, but the car handles in a confident, nimble fashion.

Mercedes fans will appreciate such familiar features as one-touch up and down windows, the one-touch lane change turn signal, the one-touch ignition and, of course, that badge.

Tilt and telescope steering wheel? Well, you'll have to pay extra for that.

Which brings us back to the $30,000 Mercedes. You can buy the non-turbo base B-Class for $30,950; the base turbo goes for four grand more.

But be very careful with the option list, you can top 50K without too much effort.

As such, it suffers much the same fate as Audi's A3: an interesting car with a lot to offer but, boy, is it pricey.

When I was picking the B Class up at Mercedes Benz Canada's head office in the Eglinton Ave. E. and Laird Drive area, another journalist happened to show up in a Mazda5 miniminivan.

Forty-eight grand for my ride, 23 grand for the Mazda.

Ouch.
