Mercedes-Benz have unveiled the 2012 B-Class. The MPV will go on sale in Europe this November and is expected to be launched in India next year. To be brought in as a CBU, the B-Class will be priced around Rs. 25 lakhs, sitting right below the C-Class. The B-Class looks like a mini R-Class but is a compact. It will be powered by 4-cylinder engines which have decent amount of power and excellent fuel efficiency. Space and comfort are the forte of the B-Class and when the German automaker plans to launch it here, we can expect them to create a niche with this MPV.

No it will be first as CBU and than localy assembled
how much price can be reduced by localy assembling it…….??
Sunny, alteast a good Rs. 5 lakhs.
Mercedes-Benz have ruled out launches of cars lower than C class in India as they are not feasible in countries like India where there is no market for hatchbacks priced over Rs.15 lacs. See the simple case of Fiat 500 or Mini or Beetle. They hardly sold anything due to the price. Similarly, Audi won’t launch A1 nor will BMW the 1 series.
Parimal, yes they ruled it out two years ago. Today, things are different. Mercedes has officially confirmed the A-Class for India. BMW is considering the 1-Series and the Mini as well. Audi too might launch the A1.
