Mercedes-Benz B-Class Lease Deals

Why Lease the Mercedes B-Class?

The B-Class is the sensible one, and it has never pretended otherwise. It takes the A-Class and makes it taller, which buys you a higher seating position, easier access and a bigger boot at 420 litres, rising to as much as 1,505 litres with the rear seats folded.

If you want a small Mercedes that is actually easy to live with, rather than one that looks good on a driveway, this is the one. It is the choice people make when getting in and out matters more than the roofline, which includes a great many people who would not describe themselves as needing an MPV.

Where the B-Class Stands

Worth being honest about this before anything else, because it is the thing nobody tells you. Mercedes has confirmed there will be no next generation B-Class, and its stated plan is to phase this one out during 2026, as part of cutting its compact range from seven models down to four. Unlike the A-Class, which was given a reprieve and extended to at least 2028, the B-Class has not been.

There is also no electrified version beyond the mild hybrid petrol. No plug-in hybrid, no electric B-Class. So this is a petrol and diesel car reaching the end of its life, and we would rather say that plainly than let you work it out later.

Now the part that matters if you are leasing rather than buying. The usual worry about a car at the end of its run is what it will be worth afterwards, and on contract hire that is not your concern: the residual value sits with the funder and you simply hand the car back. Meanwhile the B-Class is exactly as good at its job as it ever was, and there is no longer anything else quite like it from Mercedes. If the shape suits you, the timing is not a reason to avoid it.

Engines and Trims

Two engines, both automatic.

• B 200, a 1.3 litre petrol with 48 volt mild hybrid assistance, giving 163hp plus 14hp of electrical help and 270Nm, through the 7G-DCT automatic. The volume choice and the smoother of the two around town.
• B 200 d, a 2.0 litre diesel at around 150bhp with an eight speed dual clutch. The one for high mileage, and it also has the larger boot of the two, since the petrol loses about 25 litres to its mild hybrid battery.

Worth knowing the B-Class is a five seater, not a seven seater, despite the people carrier shape. If you need a third row from Mercedes, the GLB is the one to price. Equipment moves between model years, so tell us what you want and we will check the specification you are quoted.

Leasing a Mercedes B-Class

Set the mileage honestly, because excess mileage at the end of a contract costs more than buying the miles at the start, and a family car tends to cover more than its owner estimates.

Our leasing guides cover setting term and mileage, car leasing for families is the relevant guide if this is the family car, and business leasing explains the position if it is going through a company.
