Mercedes-Benz B-Class Diesel Launches Tomorrow- July 11
German luxury auto giant, Mercedes-Benz that launched the B-Class sport tourer in the last quarter of 2012, is now all set to launch the diesel version of the same car tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz India is focusing on launching several affordable cars for the Indian buyers, and the launch of A-Class at a starting price of Rs. 21.93 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) further proves the company's intention to tap a bigger market share via small luxury cars. B-Class petrol however could not live up to the company's expectations, but a diesel luxury vehicle at an affordable price seems an intelligent step.

The B-Class diesel will carry the similar 109bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine, which also does its duty to the A-Class diesel version. The B-Class was the first vehicle to have been developed on Mercedes-Benz's newly developed front-wheel drive MFA platform. The A-Class too has been developed on the same.
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. Our representative will be at the launch event tomorrow, so stay tuned to CarDekho for the pricing and other details. Till then you can read our B-Class diesel road test review.
