Mercedes - Clase B (2009)

The 2009 Mercedes Clase B sits at the intersection of practicality and luxury, offering a spacious interior and refined driving dynamics that set it apart in the compact executive segment. While the Mercedes Clase B price will differ across regions and individual condition, those planning to purchase a used model will often ask, “What is a 2009 Mercedes Clase B worth?” and “How does the used Mercedes Clase B price compare to similar vehicles?” The following is a concise, data‑driven overview that answers these questions and equips you with the knowledge to evaluate any listed vehicle accurately.

  • Engine: 2.0 L (1998 cc) inline‑four, producing 140 PS (103 kW) and 250 Nm of torque.
  • Transmission: 6‑speed manual or 7‑speed dual‑clutch automatic (depending on trim).
  • Fuel type: Gasoline (petrol) as standard; diesel variants unavailable for the 2009 model.
  • Powertrain: Front‑engine, front‑wheel drive, standard with optional all‑wheel drive (4MATIC).
  • Dimensions: Length: 4.50 m; Width: 1.75 m; Height: 1.65 m; Wheelbase: 2.80 m.
  • Weight: 1,640 kg (manual) to 1,700 kg (automatic).
  • Passenger capacity: 5 seats, single seats with optional configurable seats.
  • Cargo volume: 340 L (up to 1,070 L with rear seats folded).
  • Safety features: Dual‑channel ABS, ESP, multiple airbags, optional driver‑assist systems.
  • Infotainment: 4‑inch display, Bluetooth, optional navigation, premium audio options.

Evaluating the Mercedes Clase B depreciation curve is key to estimating a fair purchase price.

  • First year: Typically loses 15‑20% of its value after registration, due to the rapid initial drop in novelty and the assumption of typical wear.
  • Second year: Depreciates 10‑12% annually as the vehicle moves past the front‑year stage.
  • Years three to five: Losses average around 8‑10% each year, reflecting market stabilization and the model’s strong perceived quality.
  • Beyond five years: Annual depreciation tapers to 5‑7% per year, signifying a mature, reliable asset in the used‑car marketplace.

These figures align with industry-wide observations for compact luxury vehicles, where a smooth and protective body plus updated technology prolong resale value. Even so, actual turnover will vary with mileage, service history, and regional demand.

Comparison context gives further depth to the 2009 Mercedes Clase B’s place in the market.
