Buying a new B-Class - petrol or diesel?
We have had a Mercedes-Benz A-Class from new in 2006 - a CDI 180 auto which has been faultless. We now want to replace it with a slightly bigger but still premium car and are keen on the new B-Class.
However, we do a lot of short trips as well as some motorways. Would a diesel be suitable for this mixture or a petrol? We particularly like the 220 4matic if you have a view on that.

I'd agree with your choice of B220 4-Matic. That's a petrol engine, not a diesel.
Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.
Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.
