Mercedes-Benz India to Launch New B-Class on March 11

We told you back in October about Mercedes-Benz planning to bring the B-Class facelift to India and the company is all set to launch the car on the 11th of March. We'd first laid our eyes on the car at the Paris Motor Show and it's finally coming to India.

The B-class is one of the most successful models for Mercedes-Benz in recent times, selling over 350,000 units since its second generation was launched in 2011. The petrol car came first followed by the diesel in India and the Sports Tourer has tasted a bit of success. The facelift version of the B-Class will appeal to the younger crowd.

The exterior sees subtle changes but the front and rear bumper have been resculpted to appear sportier. Even the LED daytime running headlamps are now integrated into the headlamp cluster. The inside will see a host of changes like metal inserts, carbon fibre finished dashboard, and red stitching on the seats and steering. There will also be 12 ambient lighting themes in the car.

What is also in the pipeline is an AMG trim and this will make things very interesting. The car will priced below the 25 lakh mark, so stay tuned to get all the updates from the launch.
