Mercedes Benz to launch B class, a compact sports tourer. with sub-Rs 25 lakh price tag & would be its cheapest car



 Mercedes Benz is launching the B class, a compact sports tourer, with a sub-Rs 25 lakh price tag, its cheapest car in India yet. And it will go further down the price spectrum in the first quarter of 2013 when it launches its entry-level model, the A class for under Rs 20 lakh.

The B class will have two variants, one priced at just under Rs 22 lakh and the other closer to Rs 25 lakh. These launches will enable Mercedes to take on rivals BMW and Audi, both of which have begun exploring the bottom half of the price spectrum to step up sales.

Currently, most of the models of these three luxury carmakers are priced above Rs 30 lakh.
