Page 1 of 1 The Sports Tourer concept developed by Mercedes-Benz is becoming more versatile. At the Paris Motor Show the Stuttgart brand is presenting a study for this future-oriented touring car in two variants for the first time: the European version of the Vision R Grand Sports Tourer is now joined by the new Vision B Compact Sports Tourer. Mercedes-Benz is thereby underlining the potential of this vehicle concept for a new model family.
Thanks to its intelligent concept, the Compact Sports Tourer Vision B is in a class of its own. Arranging the engine and transmission partly in front of and partly beneath the passenger cell - according to the sandwich principle - gives this all-new touring car the interior spaciousness of larger saloons and estates despite its compact external dimensions.
The compact Sports Tourer is powered by a new four-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 140 hp and a torque figure of 300 Newton metres. Other attributes are a fuel consumption of less than six litres per 100 kilometres and exhaust emissions at EU-4 levels. A diesel particulate filter is also included. Page 1 of 1
