Not even two weeks ago we were showing you a batch of spy photos depicting a mildly-camouflaged Mercedes-Benz B-Class making rounds near the Mercedes-Benz testing center in Sindelfingen, Germany.
With the winter well underway, the very same (just check the license plates) pre-production prototype was spotted once again in the past few days, only this time it was cold testing somewhere near the Arctic Circle.

As we were mentioning before, the fact that Mercedes-Benz is introducing a mid-cycle refresh for the B-Class so early could only mean that they cut the average lifespan of their models from seven to a little over six years.

Following the recently-changed Mercedes-Benz design philosophy, the front of the facelifted B-Class will be less angular, with a new pair of headlights somewhat similar in shape with the ones from the GLA, while the front and rear bumpers will be slightly restyled as well.

We are expecting the official unveil of the model somewhere near the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
