If you’re wondering who or what you can take with you on your travels, the B-Class has more than one answer. The rear bench seat (which splits 1/3 : 2/3) can be folded forwards as standard. If the rear seats are folded forwards, in next to no time you have a totally flat, extended load area. You can also lower the level of the load compartment floor by 8.5 centimetres – for even more load capacity.

With TIREFIT tyre sealant there’s no need for a spare wheel – which means you can stow the two rear seat cushions in the spare wheel recess beneath the load compartment floor, adding further depth to the load area. And the optionally available armrest for the centre rear can be folded or completely removed, rapidly creating the perfect through-loading facility for longer objects such as skis.

For the greatest possible adaptability, the EASY-VARIO system is available as an optional extra. It allows you to remove the front passenger seat and the rear backrests very easily, creating a flat loading area measuring up to 2.95 metres in length.
