A few days ago we showed you how a Mercedes-Benz B 45 AMG might look, albeit only in a virtual form, but now it's time to get back in the real life and try and guess how the “regular” B-Class W246 facelift is going to look.
Caught parked and camouflaged in a Mercedes-Benz testing center parking lot in the Stuttgart region, this black pre-production prototype finally answers the biggest question regarding the design of the upcoming facelifted MPV.

As some of you may already know, pretty much all the prototypes of the model spied until now have shown either completely exposed current taillights or simply too camouflaged for someone to guess if they will be changed in any way with the model refresh.

Well, if the following short spy video is anything to go by, the taillights of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 will have the exact same shape as the ones on the current car, but their interior design will be slightly changed, with the turning signal lights to be positioned a bit lower.

Other than that, the rear will also include a redesigned bumper, which in the video below is left uncovered, but the biggest redesign will happen at the front end, where the bumper, engine grille and especially the headlights will have an entirely new styling/shape - more in line with the current line of design at Mercedes-Benz

The refreshed B-Class is expected to be unveiled at the 2014 edition of the Paris Motor Show, in October, so stay close in order to read more details about it in the upcoming months.
