- At the first sight it is the Volvo V40 Cross
Country which looks more appealing compared to
B-Class. With its aggressively designed front,
sloping down roof at rear and the wavy finish of
the tailgate, the V40 Cross Country can simply
amaze any person with its beauty. The B-Class on
the other hand is decently styled with LED
daytime running lights, bold character lines,
7-twin-spoke alloy wheels and dual exhaust system
with oval shaped pipes. - The interior for Mercedes-Benz B-Class comes
with Artico type leather upholstery and is
trimmed with different designs like Matrix finish
or black high-gloss ash wood finish which uplifts
aesthetics of the car. The Volvo V40 Cross
Country gets seats which are designed to be more
sporty and comfortable with leather and textile
fabrication options. Electronic Climate Control
with filters breathes fresh air into the cabin. - Volvo has given options for trims to make the
cabin more glorious. Comparing the interiors
Mercedes-Benz ranks higher when it comes to
storage space since its seats can be folded down
to give 1545 litres of luggage space.
