So we expect the starting price of RS 21 Lakhs.

Mercedes Benz A Class has seen testing in India with full AMG kit. Like other Mercedes Models we expect first Mercedes to launch a limited number of A Class with AMG kit and after some time the regular model will come. Mercedes Benz is facing strong competition from BMW and Audi. BMW X1 and Audi Q3 are doing very well in the market. Mercedes Benz couldn’t able to get the same volumes for the B Class. One of the reasons for the Low volumes is that B Class is available only in Petrol. Mercedes Benz A Class is based on the Modular front architecture. Mercedes Benz A Class is 4.2 M long, 1.7 M in wide and 1.4 M tall.
