Expected to launch toward the end of 2013, an early version of the new Mercedes-Benz BLS-Class was recently spied testing. This new sedan is expected to be called  the BLS because of its striking resemblance to its older sibling, the Mercedes-Benz CLS. Like the CLS, the BLS is expected to be a 4-door coupe-style Mercedes-Benz.

Aside from the BLS, the new B-Class family is set to include a van-style model, much like a model that is currently being sold in England. Rumor has it that this B-Class family will also include a “BLK” compact crossover, perhaps similar in concept to the current GLK-Class.

According to the pictures below, the new BLS-Class boasts a new front-wheel drive system which is supposedly codenamed, “MFA (Mercedes Frontwheel Architecture).” As per usual, we’re suspecting all-wheel drive will also be an option for this new Mercedes-Benz. We can also expect to see a high-performance AMG version of the BLS as well.

This NJ Mercedes-Benz dealer is super excited for spy shots of the future Mercedes-Benz B-Class! A derivative of the smaller A-Class, the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class was recently spied in Europe. Although the B-Class is not currently offered in the United States, Mercedes-Benz recently announced that the A-Class will definitely be making its way to the US. At Ray Catena of Union,  we love spy shots of new Mercedes-Benz models and these B-Class photos, courtesy of Motor Trend, are no exception!

The former B-Class is approximately 6 years-old, making it way overdue for a facelift. The new B-Class has features that are more akin to the current Mercedes-Benz lineup; a more upright grill, reshaped headlights and LED fog lamps. Despite these clear changes to the front of this Mercedes-Benz model, the rear is virtually unchanged.

Offering a front-wheel drive hatchback in the United States could be an exciting prospect for the American market. At Ray Catena of Union, we are patiently waiting for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class to arrive, and the B-Class may not be far behind. Until then, enjoy these great photos!
