Any W247 owners here?

[Silverkris]

Looking for W247 owners here.

I have just gotten mine and been driving for a month or so.

Looking forward to seeing more owners of the new B class.

[Silverkris]

Looks like there is very few persons driving the new B class here. So sad.

Anyway, just collected my car for 1 month. “Upgraded?” From W246 B180. Never thought will change from B to B but this time the improvements is so vast and noticeable that I am really tempted. Never thought a B class will look good, but this style definitely don’t look like an uncle type of car. 

Just for sharing purposes.

Nice bro, did you consider the GLB before you bought this?
I drove the Renault based engine in an A class for a week and it was really good.

Hello! 
 

just collected my b180 last Friday after 5-6month wait. Big upgrade for me who been driving Korean and Japanese car for >10 yrs. whole family is enjoying the ride.

 

I notice the radio channel does not display their respective logos not displaying the song title compare to the ones I seen in YouTube. isit because we don’t have DAB+ in SG?

Hi.

Yes, I did consider the GLB. Besides the high price, the handling is not really that well on the GLB compared to the A and B class. What GLB wins is the height and space and the so called "7" seaters which I dun think anyone in my family can sit at the last row. And if you put down the last row, there isn't any covers to cover up the boot which I normally will put all barangs barangs.

I do not think a GLB suits me, but maybe it will suit many others. What really tempts me is the new Harrier though, comfort, space, tech, etc.

Yup, if you have DAB+, you will get details like radio station, song titles, sometimes even lyrics

Hi, am also a new W247 owner here. Recently upgraded my ride from previous Jap cars. Ultimately loving the ride at the moment. Was thinking of upgrading to 18inch AMG rims like yours too. 

[player]

OEM is 225/45/18. You mean the fuel comp on these profile or the ride? Getting around 12km/l at the moment, though I am rather heavy footed.

[player]

Mine is 2016 B180. Any idea if our engine are the same? 

I use to be on 18". Fuel comp bad. I down to 17". Lol

[YewJin]

2015 B180 (W246) owner here. Have 16" Enkei PF03 rims on and full tank will usually give me 430 to 440 clicks till the reserve light comes on. This is based on moderate driving, occasionally overtaking road hoggers but not fast & furious. Don't think the engine is the same, the latest is equipped with a 1332 and mine / ours are 1596. 

[player]

Currently I on Tommi 17". Full tank also never smell 500.....lol

[Kevin.__ng]

Hello, 

Yeah.. i also can barely smell 500 on 18". First time owning a DCT, any idea if slow 1st gear is normal?

Your W246 uses a German engine from Merc

The W247 uses a Renault collaboration one with a totally different capacity..

For the newer W247 owners, does your car have satellite navigation? If not, have you tried retrofitting? Also, what’s your solution for converting wired CarPlay to wireless?

[shoemark]

Just got my W247. Previously drove W245 and W246 (R16). Do you guys have a WhatsApp group just for B-Class owners?

My 2020 car comes with it, but did not use it at all. Waze & google maps still best in Singapore. So far the wired carplay works fine for me. Charge phone and use navigation at the same time.

Just a info:

Now C&C provides original parts and installation for rear aircon vents for all its compact models.

This is a much wanted feature especially in Singapore where the car will most likely be hot when parked outdoors and the rear passengers are sweating due to the wait for the car to cool down. I have just done the installation by them. And I think the rear aircon vents look great as well, may be the best design rear vents in the industry.

[Silverkris]

It does seem that C&C is slowly taking away the AMG Line for most of the compact mercedes models (B, GLA, CLA, etc) as the COE prices has climbed to such prices that it is not viable to introduce the AMG Line anymore.

Think still available if you custom order but cnc prefers to sell ex-stock with lower specs…
