Mercedes-Benz India Ltd (MBIL) launched the B-Class diesel compact luxury car in India today at a price of Rs 22.6 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).
The car is powered by a 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine (also doing duty in the C and E-Class in different states of tune) with a peak power output of 109 PS at 3,200 RPM and peak torque of 250 Nm from 1,400-2,800 RPM. Transmission duties are handled by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox powering the front wheels.
The B-Class follows Mercedes’ Modular Front Architecture (MFA), already seen in the A-Class. The petrol variant of the B-Class was unveiled in 2012 at a price of Rs 28.6 lakhs (on-road Pune) and has sold more than 500 units.
