Mercedes B-Class arrives in Ireland

Mercedes-Benz main dealer Declan O’Hara from MSL Cork gives the thumbs-up to the new Mercedes B-Class, which has just arrived on the Irish market.

The new Mercedes B-Class has just arrived on the Irish market, with an improved range of standard features for an asking price 11% lower than the model it replaces.

In Ireland, Mercedes-Benz anticipates that the 109bhp entry level B180, available for €29,330 (ex works) with road tax of €160, will likely account for the bulk of B-Class sales.

The first petrol version of the car to go on sale is the 122bhp B180BlueEFFICIENCY, selling at €29,890 (ex works) with road tax of €225 per annum.

In a world-first for the compact segment, the car’s radar-based collision prevention warning, with adaptive brake assist, will reduce the risk of rear-end collisions.

Other standard features include reduced height (but improved headroom), lower centre of gravity, generous interior space and high safety standards,

Outstanding aerodynamics help to deliver low fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions while ECO start/stop function is standard on all B-Class models.
