A Simple, Modern Style with White Body, Black Interior, and Exclusive Wheels



A-ClassWhile sharing a chassis with the new A-Class, the Mercedes-Benz "B-Class" has been refined for a more family-oriented experience, emphasizing interior space.B-ClassAlthough it arrived in Japan shortly before the current model, the B-Class prioritizes high safety, including the standard fitment of the radar-based collision warning system "CPA." Now, as the current model approaches its second anniversary in Japan, a special edition with exclusive equipment and a distinctive monotone color scheme has been born.



The base for this model is the entry-level "A180," powered by a 1.6-liter turbo engine producing 122 horsepower. As the name "MONOLABEL" suggests, the exterior is finished in Calcite White, the interior in Black, and it features exclusive 17-inch five-twin-spoke alloy wheels painted in Tremolite Grey, creating an overall simple and modern monotone styling.



Equipment includes the "Safety Package" for driver assistance. Additionally, the "Value Package" enhances style, comfort, and safety with features like bi-xenon headlights, LED positioning lights, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, along with a seat heater.



The price, including 5% consumption tax, is 3.6 million yen, which is 310,000 yen higher than the base grade. Delivery is scheduled for early March, before the consumption tax increase, for the limited 300 units.
