Current B-Class.

Mercedes-Benz is readying its B-class MPV facelift, which is expected to go on sale at the end of this year following its debut at the Paris motor show in October.
 
Although only a minor facelift, new styling details include new headlight graphics, a more prominent front grille and a refreshed front bumper. At the rear, the B-class also gets new tail-light graphics, a new rear bumper and new exhaust designs.
 
No changes are expected in the B-class's engine line-up, implying that the new model will likely come with the same range of motors available on international markets in the current car. That's the 1.4, 1.8 and 2.1-litre diesel, alongside 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrols.
 
It remains to be seen when Mercedes will launch this facelifted B-class here but going by the manufacturer's approach here, it is not likely to be much later than in international markets.
