All New 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class: Charging into the Future

Electric cars represent the future of travel, but the pickings have been slim for those who prefer to ride in a more upscale environment than the to-the-point, utilitarian interior offered by most EVs. For 2014, though, Mercedes-Benz broke into the EV market with the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive, a fully-electric, eco-friendly vehicle with that touch of class one can expect only from Mercedes. This impressively comfortable and practical hatchback succeeds not just as a highly efficient ride that's good for the environment, but also as a truly luxurious experience that's absolutely perfect for those who enjoy the finer things.

The marquee feature of any EV is the mileage, and the B-Class does not disappoint. All B-Class vehicles are powered by Tesla Motors' 132-kilowatt electric motor connected to a 28-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which means you can be sure you're getting an engine built by the tried-and-true pioneers in the industry. The B-Class can travel 85 miles on a single charge and can be charged with a 240-volt power source in under four hours! Just as good is its acceleration, an area where most EVs struggle -- the B-Class can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 7.9 seconds.

Of course, there's also the high-tech and high-end interior. A 5.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity and a navigation system come standard in all models, as do 14-way power-adjustable front seats, cruise control and more. Upgrade options include xenon headlights, satellite radio, leather upholstery, an expanded infotainment display, parking sensors, a heated windshield and an extended range mode. With so many options to choose from, you may forget you're not buying a gas-powered Mercedes-Benz vehicle!
