Mercedes B-Class vs Citroen C4 Picasso & VW Golf SV - pictures

The B-Class brings a dose of Mercedes quality and comfort to the compact MPV sector. Three trim levels are available in the form of SE, Sport and AMG Line versions.

Two petrol engines are available along with four diesels. There's even the option of the 'Electric Drive' version which has a range of 124 miles.

Air-conditioning, a reversing camera and a leather three-spoke steering wheel come as standard on all models.

Space and practicality in the B-Class trails the class leaders, but a sliding and reclining 60:40 split/fold rear bench is standard.

The gear selector on automatic models is moved to the steering column to free up room on the transmission tunnel.

The split-level boot floor brings a level of flexibility but even then, the boot space in the B-Class is a comparatively cramped 488 litres. Space with the rear seats folded expands to 1,545-litres but this still trails the Ford C-M
