After the first-generation headlights for Mercedes Benz A-Class were launched, sales were poor. In order to stop losses in time, Mercedes headlights launched a compact station wagon based on the same platform as the A-Class - the B-class Mercedes Benz headlights. There were three model changes, with the chassis codenames W245, W246, and W247. The Benz headlights of B-Class is located between the A-Class and C-Class. It emphasizes versatility and is more like a combination of a station wagon and an MPV. It is positioned similarly to the Volkswagen Touran and BMW 2 Series Grand Tourer. However, after two generation changes, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class has found a younger and sportier positioning, and its sales have soared. However, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class is mediocre and has become a little-known existence in the Mercedes-Benz car series.
