Mercedes-Benz is not only looking to expand its market share in the US, but the company also wants to venture further into green territory, with the introduction of an extended-range hybrid version of the B-Class being a potential next step for the automaker.
According to Automotive News, Mercedes is seriously considering giving Americans a B-Class plug-in hybrid in the near future. The vehicle would compete against cars like the Lexus CT200h and would also be a soldier in the war between Mercedes and BMW.
In the US, the B-Class is the smallest vehicle in the Mercedes range, but the company wants the public to see it rather as a compact than as an entry-level vehicle and the new version would be a step towards this status.
