USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Edition 1 diesel is a solid choice for those seeking a blend of comfort, space, and premium features. While the suspension tweaks have improved the ride quality, it still remains somewhat stiff, particularly over medium-sized bumps. However, the increased ground clearance is a significant advantage, especially on Indias often rough roads, allowing for better handling of speed breakers and potholes. The car maintains its status as a sensible all-round package, offering more room and a better overall driving experience compared to its predecessors. Despite some minor drawbacks, it is a well-rounded vehicle that should appeal to those looking for a reliable and feature-rich compact car.
Price
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Edition 1 diesel was priced around Rs. 30.49 lakh ex-showroom. When considering the on-road price, you would need to add taxes, registration, and other costs, which could push the price up to around Rs. 35-37 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the B-Class Edition 1 as a premium offering in the compact car segment, reflecting its enhanced features, improved ride quality, and the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Given the improvements and the brands reputation for quality, the price seems justified for those seeking a high-end compact car.
Latest Updates
Wednesday, 31 December 2014 08:22 AM The Mercedes B-Class Edition 1, launched in India, comes with several enhancements, including new 5-spoke alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and a rear entertainment package. This limited edition model is available only with a diesel engine and addresses the lack of features in the standard diesel variant. The car retains its 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 107 HP and 250 Nm of torque. I think these additions make the B-Class a more compelling option for those seeking a luxurious yet practical vehicle.
Saturday, 21 June 2014 09:02 PM Mercedes-Benz has tweaked the suspension of the B-Class Edition 1 to improve ride quality, making it more suited for Indian roads. The car now features 55-profile 16-inch tyres and a raised ground clearance, which helps in navigating bad roads and speed bumps. The handling and braking performance have also been praised for their excellence. I believe this makes the B-Class a solid choice for daily driving.
Saturday, 21 June 2014 04:04 PM The B-Class Edition 1 boasts impressive interior space, rivaling some more expensive sedans. The cars frugal engine returns a stellar mileage of 14 km/l in city driving conditions, making it a great option for those looking for efficiency.

I think these features enhance the overall driving experience.
Saturday, 19 April 2014 03:04 PM The B-Class Edition 1 has undergone its first service, which has made the car feel noticeably smoother. The service included replacing necessary fluids and filters, and adjusting the wheel alignment and balancing. This maintenance has improved the ACs cooling performance as well.
Saturday, 19 April 2014 02:49 PM The Mercedes B-Class Edition 1 is priced at Rs. 35,34,875 OTR in Mumbai, making it an affordable yet competent luxury vehicle.

Saturday, 19 April 2014 06:54 AM The B-Class Edition 1 features an effective electric steering setup, although some users feel it could have better feedback. The cars body control is good, despite its weight, and the brakes perform consistently without fading quickly. However, the rear seats are slightly upright and could be more reclined.
Sunday, 16 March 2014 12:56 AM Mercedes-Benz has emphasized the B-Class Edition 1s ability to handle various road conditions, thanks to its raised ground clearance and improved suspension. This makes the car more suitable for Indian roads, which often include bad patches and large speed bumps.
Friday, 28 February 2014 07:52 AM The B-Class Edition 1s diesel engine, while not particularly powerful, provides adequate performance for daily driving.
