You can find similar range and interior accommodations in other electric vehicles, but they won’t deliver the handling, style or upscale interior that comes with the 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class. Though it seems expensive, the B-Class’ $42,375 starting price remains in line with the unconventional BMW i3.
If you think a cutting-edge propulsion system should be matched by a cutting-edge design, the BMW i3 and Nissan LEAF are clearly more distinctive. Those who have concerns about the B-Class’ range might feel more comfortable with a plug-in hybrid like the Ford C-Max Energi or Chevy Volt.
