Dislike

Kundër

Performancë e kufizuar: Motori 90 KF me 13.5 sekonda (0-100 km/h) është i ngadaltë krahasuar me rivalët. Mungon dinamika për drejtim sportiv.

Kosto mirëmbajtjeje: Mirëmbajtja e një Mercedes-Benz mund të jetë e shtrenjtë krahasuar me konkurrentët. Kostot rriten me kalimin e viteve.

Hapësirë bagazhi: 488 litra është më e kufizuar se disa MPV të mëdhenj, duke kufizuar prakticitetin për familje të mëdha.

Summary

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz B 160 CDI W246 7G-DCT offers good reliability, fuel economy and premium quality for families looking for a compact MPV. Reliability is high, with durable construction, but maintenance can be costly due to premium parts and advanced technology. Performance is limited, with the 90 KF engine delivering slow acceleration (13.5 seconds for 0-100 km/h) and a top speed of 180 km/h, making it suitable for leisurely driving. Experts suggest buyers choose this model for efficiency and family space, but consider more powerful models like the B 180 CDI for better performance or non-premium models for lower running costs.
