The Germans at Mercedes released details and photos on the new B-Class facelift, a model slated to debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, an event which debuts this fall. At the exterior, buyers will get revised bumpers, LED High Performance headlamps, an improved front grille and revised optical blocks.

The rear end stands out thanks to the bi-color taillights with LEDs, a trapezoidal exhaust system and the aforementioned tweaked bumper. Under the hood you will find a total of four petrol engines, starting off with a 1.6-liter 122hp model in the B 180 version. The Mercedes B 200 comes with the same unit but with an output of 156 horses.
