Step into something a little more refined with this 2013 Mercedes-Benz B250 W246 Hatchback. With a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivering a punchy 155kW and 350Nm, paired with a slick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, it's a wonderfully clever little hatch that feels every bit a Mercedes — but in a compact, city-friendly size.
The exterior is finished in a classy grey that's practical, timeless, and wears its premium German design beautifully. With its signature Mercedes-Benz grille, flared shoulders, and elegant lines, the B250 stands out on the road without shouting for attention. At 103,000km on the odometer, this W246 is well-run-in but has plenty of life still ahead of it.
Inside, you're greeted by a sophisticated black leather interior with front sports seats that provide excellent lateral support. The driver-focused cockpit features the familiar Mercedes layout — a thick multi-function steering wheel, crisp analogue dials, a centrally mounted infotainment screen, and that signature rotary controller on the centre console. It all feels properly German, properly built, and properly nice.
Highlights of this B250 include:
- 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine (155kW / 350Nm)
- 7-speed sports dual-clutch automatic (DCT)
- Front-wheel drive layout
- Full black leather upholstery
- Multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters
- Central colour display with Bluetooth connectivity
- Reverse camera (factory-fitted)
- Dual-zone climate control air conditioning
- Alloy wheels
- Push-button start with keyless entry
- Rear parking sensors
- ABS, ESP, and full airbag suite
- Automatic headlights and wipers
The 2.0T in the B250 is genuinely a cracker — it's the performance variant of the B-Class range, giving you a little extra poke when you want it, while still returning respectable economy in everyday driving. The 7-speed DCT shifts smoothly and quickly, and the whole package rides with that unmistakable Mercedes-Benz sense of composed, quiet refinement.
It's a fantastic choice for professionals, young couples, or anyone upgrading from a regular hatch but not quite wanting to jump into a full-size luxury SUV. You get the three-pointed star prestige, the build quality, and the driving character — all in a compact, easy-to-park package that's perfect for Melbourne streets and parking stations.
Practical features aren't an afterthought either. The tall roofline gives surprisingly generous headroom for rear passengers (Mercedes called it a "Sports Tourer" for a reason), and the split-folding rear seats open up a genuinely usable boot area — great for the weekly shop, weekend getaways, or hauling the kids' gear.
Being an FWD configuration keeps running costs sensible, and Mercedes-Benz B-Class servicing is well-supported here in Melbourne with a wide range of independent specialists in addition to the official dealer network. Parts availability is excellent, and with regular servicing these cars reward owners with many years of faithful duty.
Here at MM Carz we've carefully selected this B250 because it represents genuinely good value in the compact prestige segment. You'd be hard-pressed to find this level of engineering, quality, and driving experience at this price point. If you've been eyeing off a European hatch but haven't quite found the right one — this could very well be the one.
A little thought to leave you with: they say good things come in small packages, and in the case of the B250, we'd add that good things also come in three-pointed-star-shaped packages. Come and take it for a drive — we're confident it'll put a smile on your face.
