Merc B-Class on sale Friday, February 03, 2012 The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class has been launched on the Irish market, writes Brian Byrne. It fits into the range ahead of the A-Class. The model likely to account for the bulk of B-Class sales is the 109bhp entry level B180 CDI priced at €29,330 with road tax of €160 a year. A second diesel with common rail, direct-injection, is a 2.0 with 136bhp whose price will be announced later. The first petrol version to go on sale is the 122bhp B180 Blue EFFICIENCY selling at €29,890 with a yearly road tax of €255. A 2.0 156bhp BlueEFFICIENCY version will be added to the range at a later date. Driving the new B-Class is a new 6-speed manual transmission. A 7G dual clutch transmission system is also available. A world-first in the compact segment is the provision of a new radar-based collision prevention warning with adaptive brake assist as standard to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. |
