Mercedes-Benz B-Class Diesel Launch in next few weeks

German luxury giant, Mercedes-Benz that launched the much anticipated A-Class premium hatchback in India a couple of days back, is now planning to roll out the B-Class diesel in the country. The confirmation came on the day when the A-Class was launched in Mumbai, Mercedes-Benz India President MD Eberhard Kern said that the B-Class diesel will be launched within a few weeks. And like we reported earlier, he also disclosed the company's plans of launching the S-Class in India by early 2014.

The B-Class is the first vehicle to have been developed on Merc's newly developed front-wheel drive MFA platform, the A-Class too has been developed on the same. The B-Class is currently sold in petrol only variant, the diesel variant of the car will derive its power from the 109bhp, 2.2-litre diesel engine, which also powers the A-Class diesel version.

As far as the prices are concerned, the B-Class diesel should be priced a little over than the A-Class diesel version, so to maintain the price gap between the two differently abled products.

This is all what we have for now, stay tuned to CarDekho for all the latest updates on the same. Cheers!
