Mercedes-Benz B-Class B 180 CDI in India

With the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1 tapping into the high volume segment, well at least as high as any premium luxury car maker from Germany can expect, Mercedes-Benz seems to want to enter the battle with its contender the Mercedes-Benz  B Class. The new is a typical Mercedes sports tourer, offering plenty of space combined with impressive dynamic performance and was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011.

The B-Class has a Five star Euro NCAP for Occupant Protection. New engines include the series M270 petrol engines with displacement of 1.6 and 2.0 litres and the downsized new 1.8 L OM651/D18 diesel engine. Transmission is either a new 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission or the new manual transmission codenamed F-SG 310. ECO start/stop function will be standard on all models. None of these details are confirmed for India, do watch this space for updates.
